i downloaded the lastblade 2 cdi torrent and the folder contains about 11 files. i used winrar to extract them and they become cdi images...what do i need to do inorder to make a dc bootable game with them? do i use one file or all of them...

You probably only needed to extract the first file.
It will automatically pull the data from the rest of them.
However, to answer your question, if the situation is what I think it is, you should just have to burn one of them.

the first file is e-lb2hos.001 and its 19,532kb when i extract it with winrar it becomes e-lb2hos.cdi and its 718,77kb. i can use bootdreams to burn cdi image? right? do i need anything else like a bin or cue file?

isn't there a guide some where on this site!?!?!?

Quick run down.

Rar files are usually split into multiple archives labeled either .r01, .r02, sequentially... OR .001 , .002... extract the first one and it will pull from all of them (like Racket said). If you are missing any of the files WinRAR will give you an error saying you are missing one.

2 common CD images used for DC games are .nrg and .cdi; Nero and Discjuggler respectively. You will need a CD burning tool that supports whichever format you've located (Bin/cue is another older format, like .iso). Alcohol 120% supports both formats; it will be your best bet. (I personally use Nero... but that is my personal preference).



What I don't understand is instead of looking for the guide which is available any many sites. People usually post a thread asking the question. Question to ask you... WHY!? Why post a thread, get the usual "READ THE MANUAL" response and WAIT usually a day or two to get a response which doesn't fully help you usually... when all you had to do was use the cutesy little 'search' tool in the upper right corner?

[I left the directions mainly because I know he won't answer my question less I assist him... I'm assisting in a dickish manner, but that doesn't mean you should ignor me... please answer in the most dickish manner you can muster!]

All you need is the CDI.
I recommend DiscJuggler to burn. Some would recommend Alcohol 120%.
Never heard of Bootdreams...

Thank you very much racketboy, i appreciate your help....and to the other person who responded, you dont know if i already tried looking for tutorials, but most of them are skim and not useful, so thats why i searched for a forum like this one where i could get some real help...if i knew how to do this i wouldn't be putting myself out there to be dissed because i quite dont understand something and kissing other peoples asses inorder to get some honest help. (no offense to anyone else).

Don't worry about it
If you need more help, feel free to ask away!

Thank you for the answer. I may seem like a dick (with my reasons) atleast Racket is a nice guy.

Oh and there are lots of guides in the link at the top of this forum labeled "hacks & guides"

seems like many people are too lazy to search a while before they ask "faqs".

the tuts on this site are very useful imho
could it be you`re one of the persons, who always get the same answer? (...google...)

so a zievalla...
