dc_cd · June 17th, 2004

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

I could not Extrackt CDI Images with Iso-Buster

PhysicienXS · June 17th, 2004

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

PhysicienXS · June 17th, 2004

Does someone has the IP.bin for SegaGT and can he upload it ?

Where can I find that free Hex Editor

Drecksmann · June 17th, 2004

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

dc_cd · June 17th, 2004

you needn't run binhack for this game,just copy it to the \DATA,run b2bgame.bat,and press y to make a ip.bin automatic

Thx for your help. One last question: Wehre must I press y??

snypa · June 18th, 2004

Well I do believe the version of daemon tools matter. I couldnt load up RE:CV in all versions of chankast, it would just give me a IOerror (I was using dtools 3.44), now i uninstalled that and installed 3.29 and RE:CV works now.

Vanit · June 18th, 2004

The version doesn't matter at all, 3.44 just has extra features implemented to tackle newer cd protection that 3.29 couldn't handle. By toggling some options you should get it to work, but if you're lazy/stupid you can downgrade to 3.29.

Well I didnt know that but I'm fully aware that i can and did downgrade to 3.29. However, I didnt read any changes that was made cause i could careless, either it works or don't. Also, hmmmm doesnt it state in the Chankast manual that 3.29 is recommended anyways? just a thought.

**Shadow Lady** · June 19th, 2004

yeah, daemon is good for all, the only bad thing is that i cant choose .nrg isos now -.-

June 19th, 2004

ok i think i got it to be self bootable but i have a problem now every time i run chanka with the selfbootable image it crashes right after the dc swirl please help me

Eiji · June 19th, 2004

Why hasn't anyone posted screenshots of DOA2LE running in Chankast in the screenshots thread?
