PSX Boot CD ? Multi Track Booting ? Self Booting ?! WTF !

[DoomCrewInc]

Hey all, long time reader, first time poster.

 

Got some small questions that hopefully i can get some answers or info on, cause i've searched all over the net, and honestly this forum seems to have it's info tight.

 

Anyways, my problem is this, and i'll give you some background info so you might understaqnd my confusion.

 

Well i originall had a PSX SCPH-9001

 

I was downloading, and burning backups without a hitch. (was using the swap trick in order to play backups)

 

Everything was fine till i burned and tried to play Darkstalkers 1 (NTSC-U)

 

noticed no music, however the Darkstalkers 3 version did play it. I though i burned a bad copy.

 

But before wasting a cd, decided to check the web for some info.

 

Lo and behold, multi-track games cannot be burned using the conventional .bin/.cue files.

 

So, i tried to see if there was a way to burn it properly,but nope, none at all

 

Couple days went by and i swore i read somewhere that the older PSX models (The one with the I/O Port in the back) Could play the backups with all it'sa music files !

 

To my luck, upon finding the site once more, found out i read it wrong....it said it COULD NOT play em properly, only if you have Some original PSX games that had Multi-Track in them.

 

Tried to find online if there was some sort of list that showed all PSX multi track games, and which was the largest one with Multi-Tracks In Them.

 

Found Out that the Street Fighter Collection (NTSC-U) had 70 plus tracks, perfect for using as a boot.

 

Lo and behold............price was terribly high........

 

So upon simple accident, i stumble on some info about the dreamcast, saying i could use something called BIN2BOOT CDDA version to burn it properly and the backups would also be self booting, meaing no swap !

 

Though to myself awesome !

 

BUT

 

before i even attempted it.......in the readme, it says that the tracks must be in a certain format.

 

So i asked myself how the hell do i rip the songs in an appropriate format.......and then biurn em to play the music...........

 

 

 

 

 

all in all i guess the question is......is there anyway.........no matter how many programs you got to use........bitmonkey chunkey-lunky - bit2dvd or whatever is out there....

 

 

Is there anyway....to burn my Darkstalkers game so that it will play the music....does'nt have to be self booting....as long as it'll play the music.

 

 

Really need some info here, and i hope i can get some answers.

 

Sorry incase it seems realls rushed, or like ramblings, but i worked an all nighter shift and i have'nt slept, so the sleep deprivation is kickin in.

 

Later y'all

What is the format the Readme file referred to?
