How to make CDI from game files?

Hello all! I have Bootdreams and LazyBoot which have worked before in past situations but are currently giving me no joy when trying to recompile a modded Resident Evil 3 CDI. I have extracted files from someone elses modded RE3 CDI and i am now attempting to add mods and recompile.

I have all the game files consisting of:

the game files themselves
000DUMMY.DAT
1ST_READ.BIN
ABSTRACT.TXT
BIBLIOGR.TXT
COPYRIGH.TXT
DUMMY.DAT
IP.BIN
IP0000.BIN
MANATEE.DRV
STREAM.MLT
track01.bin
track2.raw
track03.bin

Can anyone please advise as to why i am getting non bootable CDIs from these programs once i load them up? Am i missing files or do a number of them need taking out before recompiling?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not looked at RE 3 Files but those track01.bin, track2.raw, track03.bin are GDI files don't need them for the CDI Build.

Then there are two "DUMMY.DAT" files you could either get rid of or make a new one, that fits your new CD. I'm guessing, that so far it might actually be a matter of too much data, that in total is simply too big to fit the CD/.cdi you're trying to make.

Yeah I'm also intrigued how this works for my flycast setup...
