Redneck Rampage - Instrumental Soundtrack - Cue Sheet
README

------------------------------------------------------
Using vocalremover.org an instrumental only version of the Redneck Rampage soundtrack was created by my brother Graham L. Wilson (https://rtcm.site/knowledge-base/downloads-rtcm/src-general-enhancers/RR-Instrumental.zip). This is a cue sheet version (made from an actual Redneck Rampage disc) that allows for the creation of a disc compatible with the original DOS version of Redneck Rampage. It is also possible to mount the cue sheet in DOSBox (or some other virtual drive software).

Note: The file "10.- cd.track.pcm" is a raw rip of track 10 from the Redneck Rampage disc. Despite seemingly being only a few seconds of silence, if this file is removed the resulting disc is very slow to read and has fewer tracks than it should.
------------------------------------------------------
	Creating a Disc
------------------------------------------------------

There are two options for this. The simple one is to create an ordinary audio CD using the supplied .wav files. The other is to create a mixed mode disc; like the official Redneck Rampage disc.

The former will work because Redneck Rampage does not require any disc to play the game. Therefore, if a disc that contains CD audio is inserted into an optical drive (or an image containing CD audio is mounted with a virtual drive), it will play the disc as the music in game. Any audio CD creation software can be used, and you just need to put something (any audio short enough to leave room for the other tracks) in track 1 to take the place of the data track.

The more complicated way will require getting a binary image of the Redneck Rampage data track. This can be done using certain ripping software and a Redneck Rampage disc. I used PerfectRip (https://archive.org/details/PerfectRipV1.00B34).

1. If you have not already done so, extract all the files in the 7z archive that contains this README.
2. Place a binary image of the Redneck Rampage data track into the same directory (AKA folder) as these files.
3. Rename the binary image to "01. Redneck Rampage Data.img" (or change the entry to match in the file "Redneck Rampage - Instrumental Soundtrack.cue").
4. Place a burnable disc in your optical drive.
5.
If you are using Windows:
open "Redneck Rampage - Instrumental Soundtrack.cue" with ImgBurn (https://www.imgburn.com/) and click on the burn to disc button.

If you are using Linux:
5a. Ensure cdrdao is installed (if Brasero and/or K3b are installed, then it is).
5b. Open a terminal emulator (or use a real terminal I suppose).
5c. Use the 'cd' command to move to the directory with the extracted files.
5d. Enter the following command:
cdrdao write "Redneck Rampage - Instrumental Soundtrack.cue"

Note: If the CD audio on the resulting disc is just noise, then it is necessary to add the flag "--swap" to the command to change the byte order. On my system the correct order was produced without this flag.

	Mounting in DOSBox
------------------------------------------------------

Just like with creating a disc, there are two options. Supply a binary image of the Redneck Rampage data track, or alter the cue sheet to be audio only.

If you want to supply the binary image:
1. Follow steps 1 through 3 from Creating a Disc.
2. Follow the DOSBox image mounting instructions on https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Cuesheet.


To alter the cue sheet to audio only:
1. Open the file "Redneck Rampage - Instrumental Soundtrack.cue" with a text editor.
2. Change the first two lines from:
__________________________________________
FILE "01. Redneck Rampage Data.img" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
__________________________________________

to
____________________________________________________________
FILE "02. Mojo Nixon - UFOs Big Rigs & BBQ [music].wav" WAVE
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
____________________________________________________________

Note: You can enter whatever audio file you want in this, as long as it exists. Even compressed audio formats (as long as DOSBox supports them). I am just suggesting having an existing track be the place holder for track 1.
3. Save the changes.
4. Follow the DOSBox image mounting instructions on https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Cuesheet.
