When I mount the image and choose cd-->image it now does work but in the proces it still says it can't find the 1s_read.bin but this time it does finish the image... But as soon as I mount this new made image it's still not selfbootable and returns to the musicmenu in chankast as soon as I start it....

Can we do a feature request?!?
Okay... I isn't allowed because the emu authors could stop their work and all would be sad, but you are a nice quy and wouldn't stop the work, wouldn't you?
It would be cool, if you could a a function to remove the hacked intros of some echelons rips, because after removing that some games will work.
Another feature would be that you can remove the garbage, like in the GC games and then it would be the perfect tool.Hope you aren't angry because of the request, but I think you are interested in how you make you great tool better.
Yaeh: great tool, now I understand how to do selfboot images!?!

can you tell me some games with those echelon intros?
what do you mean garbage?the dummy files?

there are several different intros. and believe me some are not going to work, even if you put in the original 1st_read.bin I have already tried . i compared an original virtua tennis 2k2 with the echelon and there is no way to edit the 1st read.bi to make it work. even when i switched over the original 1st read.bin to the echelon game it wouldnt work. so i think (unless echelon comes out with the fix) you are out of luck playing some of the echelon releases.

the only one that seems to be fixable is the one with doa2le and by now everyone should know how to fix it. this fix also works on virtua strikers as well.

The other 3 I wouldn't know cause I can't seem to find them :p... Was just an illustration of how hard it is finding these games Like San Francisco (unless someone can help you)...

psyman if i made a program to search a 3mb bin file to find a sentence then..the program probably will crashit's not so easy

I can try to do something and if it works i can send you the code :)

EDIT: Here, a fast selfboot bin file searcher code.
RE-EDIT: No problem. Uhh... delete the line "RichTextBox1.Text = file_data", it just was for testing purposes.

Exo? What could it be, if everytime the ISO will be converted to the CDI the CDI is smaller than the ISO and isn't able to boot (corrupted).
I tried it with the bootable SOulcalibur CD in my drive, but didn't worked (up to 20 times... sometimes the ISO is great 700,986 but the CDI is to small and sometimes the ISO is smaller,too.

I've found some bugs, which let ExoBoot crash: If you close the notes on the second window in the first mode, the make a new folder button will change to close notes or open notes, if you reopen it! And if you click on make a new folder (which is renamed to open or close) exoboot will crash.If you choose a folder where you extract the image it always make a new data folder. Why is it so? And the last thing is: there are some spelling errors.

(E.g. For CD-RW "spped" ) in the second window with the bugs, too!

The last thing is, if I'm allowed to translate these great tool into German? I will publish it on http://web431.essen082.server4free.de/emutrans/index.php?seite=news if I#m allowed to, but give you the translated version, before.

with which program you're try to using this image?it works in the most cases only with the daemon tools 3,29 and not at all the machines (for example in my computer cd 2 image doesn't work).the method who works 100% is to make first a selfbootable cd and them convert it into an image.(if you don't want to waste a cd try using cd-rw :) )

thanx for the bugs and sorry about them.(i can;t understand why i haven't seen them..a lot of bugs..)i have fixed them. Replace the exoboot.exe of exoboot 1,21 with the exoboot.exe that is attached in this post

yeah why not i will give you the notes that you have to translate if you want
