Complete "How to Change the Music in MVC2 + How to make your game selfboot" Thread

I finally got it to work! I had to use exoboot 1.21 though. The newest version always quit on me when i try to select a data folder,so i went back on the thread that had exoboot and got a earlier version.

here’s the steps i took in making this cvs2 a success.
1.started with a selfbooting cvs2 and copied all the data to the hard drive.

2.picking what songs actually took the longest and when i got done deciding what goes where,i converted mp3 to wav with nero wave editor,made it louder in sound recorder then used adxncd to cnange to adx then i renamed the adxes to .bin

3.put all of that game data into exoboot 1.21’s data folder and created a .cdi image and it actually worked! it booted up and all the music works perfectly,volume and all!

Thank you everyone for all your help and advice! and i hope everyone can get this down now that i got it working!!

I was just reading through this thread and I don’t know if anyone aswered this yet so here goes. The image file that CDRWin makes by default is an iso image (.iso extension). Winrar is setup to be the default program to view ISO images/files. If you don’t change this in Winrar, then any .iso image on your computer will have the winrar icon by default. Winrar will work like windows explorer in this case; you will be able to open up the image and either extract the information or just view it. It is still an image and you can burn it with most burning programs that can burn .iso images.

It is possible to my knowledge. On cvs2 and mvc2 there are .Gif files which easy to create and manipulate on the cds. I have replaced the .Gifs on cvs2 but dunno what part they show up on. And some people have edited the marvel vs capcom 2 title screens. Sure other stuff is editable just need right progs. So lemme know u people in programing schools and such.

question…

after i used the converter for changing the WAV’s to ADX… i tried to use the plugin to play the files but they dont play… did i screw up at some point?

another question. i think i may be using a self-boot image… is this not possible to use at all? i read about it earlier i just had a hard time understanding.

great tutorial BTW… very helpful

mr quotes ill aim u later and explain better

just tested out my first disc and it works! :clap:
shits too cool

now im gonna experiment w/ the looping and stuff

thanks for the tutorial it helped me through it all

Haven’t seen cvs2 in a while, but I believe said gifs are just the character portraits.

hi, when i put my image.bin file into bin 2 boot gui, i get this message from windows saying something about the program is not suitable to run in 16-bit does or something like that. Has anyone gotten a message like this? Im using windows XP. Is there a way to get around it? HELLPP, it went so smooth until now and im almost done with it! Thanks

You could try getting a bin2boot without the gui, and run it from the command prompt, you just put

bin2boot image.bin
(assuming they’re in the same folder)

the program is selfboot.exe right? I tried selfboot image.bin, selfboot.exe image.bin, but didnt work. THat was good thinking though!

dang i made an image.bin and when i insert into the selfboot.exe thing on the DOS pop up, it says d:\image.bin not found! Im surprised because the image.bin is right in my D: Anyone know whats wrong? I used nero 5.0 to create my image.

Nope, its just bin2boot without the fancy gui, has nothing to do with selfboot.exe (fucking bullshit program). Download >this<, put it in the same folder as your image.bin, then open the command prompt and get to that folder and type:

bin2boot image.bin

All should be made clear. If it isn’t, get me on aim or msn so as not to waste more forum space.

my image.cdi file came up to be 767 MB, is this right? I dont have the full version of disc juggler and it says im only able to burn up to 700 MB. Does size matter or does it go by minutes? I read the dreamcastburn faq and it says select 80 min option. pls help. im almost there! Do you know if the program alcohol 120 % will work?

is the size of the .cdi file supposed to be under 700 MB and to be able to burned on a CD?

i cant get into the site!!!

sometimes the site is hecka busy for some reason and its hecka slow or doesnt load. But most of the time it works, what kind of message do you get? Http 404 : Not Found or are you unauthorized?

use alcohol, and make sure ur dummy file makes it so that it is 680-700 mb ONLY if u go higher some things may not work( to my experience )

i get this message " the operation timed out when attempting to contact dhost.ifo.

dang i dont know how to fix it , somehow its not sending the site is not sending info

When I’m about to burn with nero, what should the settings be?

Does it happen to be ISO Level 1, Format Mode 1, ISO 9660, Joilet and no Relax ISO and Joilet restrictions?

Going to burn right now and go through trail and error. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. The burn settings is all i need to know.
