Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
The .uibak is from UltraIso .. so I put my modified BGM.AFS into the fixed.iso

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
If you have a bin/cue I'm not sure what you did. CDIrip usually outputs either two ISOs for each track, or two BINs for each track
You run isofix.exe using the CDIrip LBA value output for the larger track. For example, if the larger track is Track02, then it would output something like "LBA: 11702" before the window closes. You would then run isofix.exe on track02.iso or track02.bin, using LBA 11702
You would then open fixed.iso with ISOBuster, and extract the files
As for how to recomplile, you cd into the directory that has mkisofs and type
mkisofs.exe -C 0,11702 -V N00B_CDI -l -o data.iso c:\path\to\file.iso
You then would take data.iso, run isofix.exe again, enter data.iso and LBA 11702, then point it to bin2boot.exe and type fixed.iso
I'm not sure why you're using ultraiso, using programs outside of this guide is uncharted territory and I can't help you much

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
Hm .. mkisofs.exe nor bin2boot.exe will run since I'm on 7 64-bit ={
I did the isofix.exe and LBA stuff correctly , I open fixed.iso in IsoBuster but not sure where it is to recompile

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
Well you can also use BootDreams to recompile, I'd suggest using the "CDRecord" option because the CDI option has produced coasters a bunch of times where the method I posted here does not. But CDRecord usually results in a better burn + better reading/less laser grinding since it burns directly from files, skipping the image creation process all together

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
If by other layer you mean the first track, the first track, unless it's a CDDA game (which you're on your own if it is), is just a dummy track more or lessmistamontiel wrote:I tried BootDreams but couldn't get the other layer the selfboot part in

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
Hey dan just a quick question, so if i take any game (lets say it is 700mb) and i extract it ect and then recompile it with not changing any files at all and it always increases it size to 800mb. any idea on how to make it generally keep its original size without deleting a bunch of files, thanks.

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
I was just poking @ El Bucanero's VMU CD Dream On Edition , no LBA , isofix can't do nothing
I pulled out VMUCD.BIN and VMZIP.BIN using IsoBuster , simply I just wanted to take the music out and easily have a listen , but I am stuck there

Re: Guide: Extracting And Recompiling CDI Images
Is there something like this for starting with GDI files?
