Hi, I'vew just repaired my DC and i whanted to take a look at Hombrew games . For what i understand , to make (insert a name of a dc Hombrew game here) work on my Dc is: -The game (duh...) -A blank CD-R, A CD-R burner, And a cd burner program (i use Alchool 120%) -A dummy file that is relative with the space that take the game on a cd - A loader if i whant to burn multiple games on a cd is it correct? anyway, now i whant to know how to: 1. Make the dummy file apear on the start of the cd 2. Know how a loader work and how i can organize my cd to make everything work fine. 3. Wich Type of files should be used ( i think .sbi files are for the programs (booter) , am i right? thx.
yeah, but i would like to make a compilation.... i whant to make a Beats Of Rage Cd With three mods, but i don't know how a booter work (well, how to organize it to make it work ) oh! and another question! i've just downloaded BOF from the official Website, but there's nothing in the zip file! and there's nothing in the zip file of the level editor too! wtf? i'm lost. :smt022
hey dawg, try one of threse sites: http://www.boob.co.uk/ http://www.consolevision.com/ There you can find pretty much anything you need. (www.dcemulation.com was already named, but its good as well) l8
2. first read here http://consolevision.com/dreamcast/tuts/binvssbi/ then this http://consolevision.com/dreamcast/tuts/burnsbis/ that should help you :smt023
thx for all those informations guys , but i think ill start by burning BOR only on a cd , that's more simple. :-D i just whant to know how to make a dummy file with disc Juggler now, does anyone know how to?
this tut is for nero not for disc juggler, but maybe it helps: http://www.dcemulation.com/help/addingdummynero.htm
well, i was tired and whanted to play , i've burned my .cdi Beats of rage with DiscJuggler but whitout any dummy files .... and it doesn't work . :-( Why? :-(
? Try to convert it to the nero format and then burn it, all of my 3 cd burners weren't compatible with discjuggler so I always had to convert all things to the nrg-format Go for nero and try it. l8 ;-)
well, ill try to take a copy of nero . :smt023 so , let's recapitulate. what im suposed to have in my cd? (i know , i don't get it easly.) only the game? and a dummy file if you whant? if the game is in the .cdi format , it will run automaticly? and what about the nrg format? will it work whitout any booter? anyway, i know i don't get it that easly, im very thanks full about your help
its 1.30 in the morning, i hope i get it all together. If you have the image in a cdi format, then convert it to the nero format. Fuck the dummy file, you don't need that. Its just to complicated. http://www.dcemulation.com/files/needed/cdi2nero099.zip get that and convert the cdi image file. In want format did you get the game? Is it already the cdi format or just the plain files? If you don't have the image file check this out: http://consolevision.com/dreamcast/tuts/burnbins/ GOOD LUCK this time I'll check on you tomorrow morning :smt023 good night
thx alot , your help is very apreciated mate! :-D i got BeatofRage as a .cdi , but i was wondering what the hell are the plain files? do i need them ? ( oh no! im lost again! :-( ( :smt043 ) ) EDIT: GOt IT! yeah! thx! Now , excuse me but i have to do some ...beats of rage! :smt043 no joking, Im very thanksfull mate! :-D
