Yep good stuff.

I was one of those who could not quite figure out the manual instructions for making a selfboot CD or image.

With your little tool it was no problem at all. I fixed 3 images last night on my first run through it.

A few items if I may (using 1.2)

1) Hitting the close button on the upper right did not seem to close the GUI. I could still see each running process in my Task Manager

2) Any spaces in the directory path was causing much hardache. No biggie I just could not find anything here that said anything about it. Keeping all directory and filenames to the DOS 8.3 naming system solved that.

3) I have yet to be able to make a bootable CD using a directory of files I have compiled (DreamSNES inparticular). This could be me though, I am still playing/working on it.


Thanks again for the great GUI Ex0skelet0r. Made quite a few lives easier here I bet ;)

Yo LazerTag

1) yes that's right.i have noticed that now.only if you press it in the select menu window close the program.for all the other windows hit quit and not the "x" button FIXED

2) If you read the text after you click accept in the installer you will see this:
"Create selfbootable games for your Dreamcast Avoid installing in folders with spaces in the name and avoid unusual characters (like greek characters)" FIXED

3) i have check this mode and works for me (with resident evil 2 code veronica, i have all the game files in a folder.)

1) OK glad it's not just me.

2) No one reads anything during installations :p j/k hehe

3) Probably just me. Using your program has given me a better understanding of building a bootable CD for Dreamcast. I'm sure now I'll figure it out.

Once again thanks. :party:
