The .uibak is from UltraIso .. so I put my modified BGM.AFS into the fixed.iso

I assume the one session is selfboot script .. I also have Alcohol 120% .. how do I crunch back together

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

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

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

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 less

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.

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 :?
