Help creating G-Darius ISO

[Launchpad]

Hello there, im fairly new to this PSX emu lark, but not emulation in general.

Anyways, im trying to create a backup of my Jap version of G-Darius, but the Clone CD image is 750mb and will not fit on a CD-R (for backup purposes) Is there anyway that the game can be ripped minus the music (the second track on the CD)????? I've tried using ISObuster just to extract the first track, but it comes up with an error "cant read blocks 213132154" or something. Could this be to do with copy protection?

General rule of thumb: That wihich came from a cd can fit onto a cd.

Ie all you need is spend a couple of bucks on an 80 min cdr and use that instead of a 74 min one.

Question: Have you tried burning the 750MB image with CloneCD? Images generated by programas such as CloneCD and Blindwrite often have more than 640MB, since they are "Raw" images and contain extra information such as error-correction data, but they can be burned without problems.

It's most likely a read error caused by dirt or scratches in the disc.
