hello

i know there are guides on the net,and some very good ones,but here is another one,just for afterdawn

what is the MAME emulator?

the mame emulator is basically an emulator that emulates games,mainly old games that were present in the arcades many years ago,its more recognised with the PC,but we can use it on the ps2 aswell

Things you need

the mame emulator,get the zip from here

http://ps2emu.dcemu.co.uk/ps2mame.shtml

Some roms,get them from here
http://www.rom-world.com/dl.php?name=MAME

REMEMBER:do not unzip them,when you download them,you must select the option "save to disk"

CDGEN (to make the image),get that from here

http://www.sksapps.com/index.php?page=mis.html

step 1

first things first,you need to download all the things you need.
for this guide i will use 10 roms,the maximum you can use is 30

these are the ones i will use

1942 http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=24659
shinobi http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=21642
soul caliber http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=31299
space invaders http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=23211
commando http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=30904
arkanoid http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=24547
Mr DO http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=22717
scramble http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=21735
nemesis http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=21735
terra cresta http://www.rom-world.com/file.php?id=31438

WHEN DOWNLOADING THEM,YOU MUST SAVE THEM TO DISK

step 2

make a new folder and call it ROMS,then place your roms inside,it should look like this




step 3

now we have to make a filelist with a text document,..you can use the one that came with the emu,but i have made my own.
RENAME it GAMELIST.TXT

open it up,and enter the details of the roms as they appear on the zip file, minus the extension,and in CAPS

it should look like this




step 3

now we need to rebuild the image,so we can burn it to disk,so open CDGEN,

from the MAME emu you downloaded,we only need some of the files,as some are nfo's,and these are not required

we need the following

ROMS
system.cnf
GAMELIST.TXT
ps2mame.elf
sjpcm.irx

so,drop these files into CDGEN,in that order,and it should look like this




step 4

you need to change the LBA table values,so right click on the system.cnf file,and click edit






then tick the fix LBA tab
enter the value 12231
click OK




step 5

we nearly there..

click on the image tab
choose a folder for the image to be saved
click save

see here,





you should see the progress bar scroll across the screen,and finally a message saying "image creating complete"

you can now close CDGEN,as its no longer needed

step 6

so now we have the image we wanted,all we have to do now is burn it to disk
for this i will use Alcohol 120,just because its my favourite app,and a CD disk

so open up Alcohol 120,and click on image burning wizard

browse for the folder which contains the image,only the cue file will be shown,and thats the file we want

why i am burning the small cue file?,dont i want to burn the bin image instead?

you must remember that the small cue contains all the information we need for the burner/alcohol 120 to burn the bin image properly
when we select the cue file,we are not actually burning it,we are just using it to show the way to the bin image.... ok?
so dont get all in a spin,just do as i say

so browse for the folder,click on the cue file,then click open

then click next

set it up as shown below




burn the image,and thats pretty much it

i have tested this setup and it works,a few of the roms didnt load,but thats roms for you!!!

cheers and have fun !!!

BTW: if you want to put this onto a [bold]DVD DISK,you can do,but once you have made the image with CDGEN,you must extract the files from the bin image and patch the PS2MAME.ELF file with sonix's console media patcher (i'm sure you can find it,if not just ask)
you need to patch it to "dvd",then rebuild the image again,(i used Nero method for this)
