Booting Problems


Recommended Posts

Just to clarify my DC is a HKT-3010 and can play CDR backed up games. Selfboot games work, and bin/cue games work with a boot disc.

 

My problem is that when I try to make things selfboot, or use homebrew, the thing doesnt boot. Instead, they go straight to the music menu. I've tried-

 

-Emulators like GenesisPlus with SB Inducer

-Premade CDI emulator/rom discs that specifically claim to be SelfBootable

-Old bin/cue releases converted to CDI with bin2boot

 

None of these work. Interestingly the games Ive tried to convert to SB, no longer work with the boot disc either. So I want to know if this is a problem with my model Dreamcast? Or with my computer setup? I use Alcohol to burn CDI images btw.

 

Dunno if this is relevant or not but I tried a the Echelon self-boot tutorial as well as bin2boot, but got an error when using cdrecord. Im meant to use cdrecord -scanbus to get a 'x,x,x' 3 digit SCSI bus code but I get an error there and it returns nothing. Maybe its something to do with my drive setup, but either way pre-made rom discs dont work either.

 

Any help here would be infinately appreciated. Iv coastered enough discs for today :/
