Well I found an interesting thread here :

http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=21191

Anyways, I cant download nor the 1st_read.bin nor the fastboot program... If anyone could download those files and upload them in this thread I would be greatfull...
I've done some hexediting and deleted averything befor 0xF0000 (mostly there were 00 digits) just like mentioned in the abouve link and made an CDI file using DreemBoot1-2 (I cant find anywhere fastboot utility and as I said before those links from the Emu Talk thread doesn't work) but the image doesn't work :/ (hangs even earlier - on the sega logo screen). Have anyone managed to run DOA2:LE using those files/hexediting thing??

when you open a ip.bin whit winhex ,you can find the head like this:
SEGA SEGAKATANA SEGA ENTERPRISESA6F9 CD-ROM1/1 JUE E799F10 T0000 V1.00120010206 1ST_READ.BIN ECHELON Flash Internet Settings Adjuster

if there is no 1st_read.bin,it maybe like this
SEGA SEGAKATANA SEGA ENTERPRISESA6F9 CD-ROM1/1 JUE E799F10 T0000 V1.00120010206 file_name.BIN ECHELON Flash Internet Settings Adjuster

then the file_name.bin will be the file you can use as 1st_read.bin

you can use IsoBuster extract Sector 11700 to 11715 (or 11702 to 11717,you can try) as the IP.BIN

click right button on TRACK 2
I succeeded to extract sectors 11700 to 11715 and 11702 to 11717 but I can't find the text "SEGA SEGAKATANA SEGA ENTERPRISESA6F9 CD-ROM1/1 JUE E799F10 T0000 V1.00120010206 file_name.BIN ECHELON Flash Internet Settings Adjuster " with HEdit (don't have winhex) in this extract (IP.bin). :(

Look at the compatability topic bulletfx, i posted how to get ingame with SegaGT
I tried your method but it's hard to go ingame with the menu which runs at 2 fps and freezes although I under/overclock Chankast... :(

Try to enable all the emulation options in deamon ;)
or try Alcohol 120 virtual drive ;)
tried all that, is the same, the alcohol 120% virtual drive really sucks, sometimes it mounts the image but i cannot browse on it

So, after i get the IP.bin file with CDrWIn, i start ISOBuster and i load the ip.bin file. Then, what do i have to do to get the 1st_read.bin file?? please reply and thanks anyways ;))

dc_cd said:
you use ISOBuster extract files to fastboot\data, ok? then you must search for the filename.bin in \data,rename it to 1st_read.bin to use binhack.exe,after that,you must rename 1st_read.bin to filename.bin.it's very easy and you must try youselves
Ok....one thing at a time 'cause I don't think someone here really knows how to do all this.....so, i've got an ISO of SEGA GT, then with CdrWIn a extract the IP.BIN file........ then, what do I do?!! I use winhex or i use ISO buster? if i use ISO buster, what do i have to load in it??IP.BIN? and then??what do I do that for??please explain well....i won't bother you anymore if tell me all the steps I must do...ok?!!! thanks a lot ;)

So if I got it right so far:

- I take my CDI Image of DOA LE and Extract all files in the Data Dir of Fastboot

- Then I search for filname(nameofgame I Guess).bin and rename it to 1st_read.bin

- Then I could replace this with the 1st_read.bin which I downloaded from this thread

- Then I use b2btogame.bat to make the new file


Only a suggestion. Tell me whats wrong :)

Then mount the image and copy all files in the Data dir of Fastboot with windows explorer.

I have this explanation from another forum, probably it helps you through the process...


After installing Daemon Tools, Free Hex Editor and extracting fastboot utils to a folder we can begin.
I extracted the fastboot utils in "D:\fastboot\". You can use whatever directory you wish.

STEP 1

- Have a non-bootable image (iso,cdi,nrg) of your game ready.

- Using daemon tools, set up a virtual CD drive and mount the image of your game (if you don't know how
this is done in daemon tools search the internet for tutorials).

- Open your fastboot util folder.
(You'll find a folder within the fastboot directory called 'Data'.)

- Open up the directory of the (virtual) dreamcast game cd drive. Copy all the contents of the virtual
cd onto the 'Data' folder.

STEP 2

- Now you should have all the game files in the fastboot\data directory. Copy the 1ST_READ.BIN file
found in the data folder to another location outside the fastboot util folder. You will edit this file
with the 'Free Hex Editor' utility.

- Open 1ST_READ.BIN with the 'Free Hex Editor' utility.

- Click on Edit->Select Block (or Ctrl+E with the keyboard). In the dailog box, leave the first text box
(start selection value) as it is and type xEFFFF in the second text box (end selection value) then press
OK.

- You will find that some of the entries are highlighted yellow. Now press the delete button (on your keyboard)
and press OK on the dialog box that appears. Save the file and exit the 'Free Hex Editor' utility.

STEP 3

- Copy the 1ST_READ.BIN file you edited back to the main fastboot directory (NOT the data directory).

- Now run 'BINHACK.EXE'. Now type:
1ST_READ.BIN for the name of binary
IP.BIN for the name of bootsector
0,0 for the msinfo value

If all goes well the 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.BIN files should be patched.

Now you copy the patched 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.BIN files into your fastboot\data - Folder

FINAL STEP

- Run b2b_game.bat and wait. b2b_game.bat creates an image file called 'image.cdi'.

- Test this file by mounting it on your virtual daemon tools drive, selecting the drive letter in chankast
and running chankast. You then cross your fingers

I just want to add that I use Alcohol 120% instead of Deamon Tools, otherwise i get an io-control-error

Where can I find that free Hex Editor

SO I tried nearly everything. Does not work for me.

I Put all stuff in Data Dir. I put Ip.Bin and 1st_read.bin in the fastbott dir and run binhack and patched them. Then I moved them to the data Dir and used b3b_game.exe to make the CDI Image. I always get an IO Error. An I am really pissed of.

My E-DOA2LE.CDI has the filesize of 730.368 KB. Could anyone post the working ip.bin and 1st_read bin bin?

The way to get the files in the Data folder was to Mount the Image to a viortual device and then copy all its content.

Please help me. Thx
