Shenmue I Perfect

Post by **NeoRage** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 9:41 pm

Has anyone downloaded Shenmue I perfect from underground gamer? I just finished getting it and tried burning it with Alcohol, But I keep getting the "not enough space" message. Has anyone had success putting it on disc?

Thanks in advance!

I will assume that you downloaded a full gd-rom rip, which is ~1.2 GB, or something along those lines, too much for a CD to fit. With the onset of decent dreamcast emulators, a demand has appeared for full rips of games, as opposed to those which needed things ripped out to fit on a CD-R to play in a real dreamcast. So, all you'll be able to do with a "full" "perfect" rip is play it in a pc emulator (nullDC is pretty sweet though)

The perfect series is just a better rip than the Kalisto rip and includes music, speech and some other elements that were cut from Kalisto. The image for CD1 is 781MB and I tried setting overburn in alcohol, But still no luck. I didn't have any luck installing nullDC on Vista, would be cool though!

Maybe you need a 90 min cd-r or something along those lines

Surprised you even attempted burning it on a normal CD-R especially when the image was 781MB...

That's what was suggested with this file, I didn't think it would work either but I have burned pretty big Dreamcast games to cdr with overburn.

Yes but overburn is 'usually' 10% of the disk capacity. That's over 70MB, thats one hell of an overburn!! Why thought you could overburn it on a regular CD-R is beyond me!

I thought this was common sense by now, but I guess not. It's completely normal for disc images to be over 700MB and fit on 700MB discs. It's called 2352 bytes per sector, people. Come on. Educate yourselves. Disc images that use this standard are CDI, BIN, and the like, while ISOs and some others use 2048, which means a 700+MB ISO will in fact not fit on a 700MB disc.

As for your issue, I bought Shenmue so I haven't tried burning any versions ever since the original release. Can't help you. If the accompanying text says it will fit in a 700MB disc, I'm sure it does. However some 700MB CD-Rs can actually have slightly less space than others. I remember the Shenmue 2 rips actually failing to fit on certain brands of 700MBs back in the day. A lot of people flipped out.
