How do I get the iso's to self boot???

[Corn99]

first u gotta check if the structure is right(1audio+1data track) or (2 data tracks)but its never a single track(those are not selfboot) u could go to here to find tools and guide.i would suggest using bin2boot or bin2boot_gui,first u should turn the non selfboot game into a cue and bin file take the bin drag in to the bin2boot gui and it automaticly makes it selfboot and out comes a disk juggler image.

I did that and i still can't get power stone or Megaman - War of the Past to play on the emulator. I even tried Exoskeletor Selfboot GUI and that didn't work and i even redid the bios and it still doesn't work. any advice???

[gavin19]

I'm 99% sure it's nothing to do with boot issues as 95% of DC games are self-booting anyway, including the Megaman, if it is the Supernova one, as I just burned it to check and it does boot by itself.

If u want to be sure just grab a game that is specifically labelled (SB) to confirm it. I think theres a v small Mr driller on Supernova atm that Im sure is SB.

Anyway hardly use Chankast as i have a dc but seems most non-playing games issues stem from an incorrect/corrupt bios file. Ensure that u have the correct one and also the latest Chankast too ( i know its obvious but some people... ).

 

Here follows my honest opinion - buy a cheap second hand dc and just forget about chankast. Save yourself the hassle, plus quite a few games need the DC controller to get the most from them.

 

If u like I could send u a small SB game to verify things.

I do get my roms from supernova. Is supernova bad with dreamcast games? cause all the playstation roms i get from supernova work with epsxe and psxeven.

Random thought: Playstation games aren't roms.

I mean my Plasystation iso's.

can some one help me how to burn nesterdc, ok i downloaded the nesterdc pack that included a tutorial, i followed the tutorial exactly what it said, but at the last step, when i click the selfboot exe to make my nero image(cdi file), the dos promt screen came up, i waited till the coverting is done, but when the converting is done, i got an error message said:

 

"searching file: image.cdi

not found. try image cdi.cdi. instead...

image.cdi: no search file or directory"

 

then another error message say:

 

file not found

you may have typed wrong name or path to source CDi image.

I am so new to this emulation thing, and I have no clue what in the hell i'm doing...

 

I'm trying to use DCstella... the Atari 2600 emu.

 

I have had no luck what so ever in trying to find a tutorial or anything to help me thru this step by step...

 

Can anyone explain the basics of getting this emu on a disc that will play on my Dreamcast alond with games...

 

For the love of god, help me out here...

It says the burning instructions are in the README.

ok, now my next venture is burning a genesis emulator... i have been using sbinducr. From what I read, Gens is the best Genesis emulator... but I can't figure out how to get that and roms on a bootable disc. With sbinducr, i use sbi files, but i can't find one for Gens, just an exe...

 

I tried Genplus3 and a ton of roms with sbinducr, but when i put in the dc, all i get is some weird noised out of the dc...

 

This crap is so flocking confusing to me!!!

 

Basically, if Gens is the best, how do I get that and my 500 roms on a disc to play1

 

Any help is appreciated!

[diablo2121]

Is it possible to download an emulator and roms and burn them on a self-bootable, dreamcast playable CD-R?

[Gryph]

Chankast isn't advanced enough to play emulators yet. You can't use boot discs either yet.

Ok I've read about emulation on the dc but I haven't seen anything on modifying the actual console. Do you need to install a modchip on the dreamcast? Is there a reliable site that sells them? Thanks.
