    Rockin'-B made a program called Atlas for the Sega Saturn that is a disk creator and a multi-menu for multi game disks.


    I see how to use the .AGP files found here with his program Atlas Creator and there's clear instructions on how to make the muti-disk with them.

    What I can't seem to find is how to make your own .AGP files out of .ISO's I have. Some Saturn ISO's are really small and a multi-disk would be great. The program author does state that one of the features is to "create Atlas Game Pack" or .AGP files; I just can't find the info on how to do this.

    Any help is appreciated!

    You could be right! So your thinking this would only work if commercial source code was available?

    I'd really like to find a way to make a multi-game .ISO of commercial releases. This menu system is still the best thing going, if someone can figure out how to adapt it.

    .agp are something like tgz files, i think you can do your own .agp files with saturn iso. but you will have some troubles with soundtracks (wrong start track), certainly no way to return to agp menu and some games will not boot.

    I believe a disk that was setup with ATLUS will soft reset back to the .AGP menu by holding start, A, B, C. I know this to work on compilation disks that were officially released as well.

    maybe you're right, it just needs some testing. i just remember it was needed to add few lines to support A+b+c+start for contest CDs.
