- If one of the above files is missing, you're dealing with an
- incomplete and altered archive of this game. There's only one source
- of where to get these rips and that's retroCast. All other torrent
- sites, forums and DDL-sites are no reliable ressources and are not
- supported by me. In fact, they only profit from other people's work
- without any effort by themselves, so get the stuff from the one
- source that also releases these rips.

- ### Get started ###

- Drag and drop the ECM-file on unecm.exe to get the CDI-image and burn
- it with your favourite app. If you're using a mac, then get the
- mac-version of unecm. Why I don't deliver the CDI directly I
- hear you ask. CDI-images for DC-games come with tons of useless
- correction data, which is uncompressible. In case of an 80min image,
- this data sums up to 95MB of additional uncompressible garbage. In
- case of full 99min images it's even higher. So this adds a ton of
- weight to the archive and to your download time. Do this a few
- hundred times for all DC-games and you're up for a collection, which
- is a real space waster, let alone the additional time it takes to
- upload and download the rips.

- ### Ripping notes ###
- ######################################################################
- The corporate intros and the trailer that played right after them
- had to go, as well as unused game data. The intros and the trailer
- are already included on disc 1, so you're not missing out on anything
- here. On the contrary, the corporate intros and logos can't be
- skipped. Therefor, you usually have to wait half a minute till you
- can finally resume the game. Having to stand this each time you throw
- in disc 1 is already badly enough, but having to bare that for a disc,
- which only purpose is it to let you resume a game is just ridiculous.
- So, I consider this as being one of the rare occasions, where ripping
- actually enhances the gaming experience.
- As for the actual game data, nothing has been ripped or downsampled.
