.cdi to non self-boot iso ?

Post by fishman »

What is the best way to do this. Can I just get cdirip and burn the iso it creates? Then run ISO fix? I want to make a non-selfboot image, not a selfboot iso! Thanks

ive never tried this, but it should work. use cdmage to extract the cdi. get the 1st_read.bin and unscramble. then use nero to burn th unscrambled 1st_read.bin and everything else that was inside the cdi image.

Making non-selfboots is really easy. What fackue said should do it for you. If you don't have nero, you should be able to use just about any burning program for a non-selfboot disc.

um i guess this is a very stupid question.....but how do i unscramble the 1stread?
I also take the audio file (if aplicable) that is separated w/CDmage and toss it in the CD right?

to unscramble a 1st_read.bin you'll need dcscram. you can can it from my site on the tools section, check my sig.

from the command line:
dcscram -d 1st_read.bin unscram.bin

the unscram.bin will be the unscrambled bin.

but, since it seems like your wanting to make a selfbooting disc the binary will not work unless it's scrambled, so if it is already scrambled (if you just extaqcted it out of an image, is already is scrambled), leave it, that is if your going to make a selfbooting disc. to make a selfbooting disc all you need is selfboot, the program files from the image, and a ip.bin. still them all inside their own folder and run selfboot.exe on that folder. choose your image as your wish and burn.
