What software and which version do you use for burning?

Цитата:1) Extract the files from the image.
2) Unscramble the main binary (dcscram -d 1DS_CORE.BIN new.bin) and replace the old one.
3) Add a DUMMY.DAT file of about 100Mb.
3) Create an ISO for the files and put DUMMY.DAT at the lowest position on the CD (mkisofs -l -o data.iso -sort sort.txt data).
sort.txt content:

Код:

data/DUMMY.DAT 60000

4) bin2boot the ISO. It will say IP.BIN was not found, tell bin2boot to create it and give the 1DS_CORE.BIN as the main binary name.
5) Test it on NullDC before burning.

Every other cd I have boot fine. I burned them with imgburn at 12x and 8x. I see that all my games have two sessions, where dreamshell as only one. Can this be the problem?

Simply putting the DS disc doesn't worked since my DC can't read (I guess) the TOC of the first track.

To bypass this I started a multi-session disk and put an useless 512Kb file on it and burned it with nero.

After that I extracted all the file from the DS cdi and continued my multi-session diss with that.

Now DreamLoader can read that CD and I'm finaly able to start DreamShell

I seam to work fine that way. File browser crash when I exit it, but the same thing happen in nullDC so I guess it's fine.

Thanks to everyone who helped me on this

Every Dreamcast selfboot disc has two sessions. Are you sure the disc was recorded correctly? Try to boot it on Chankast. If it's shown as audio CD, then the CD is recorded wrong.

So I'll wait for a new version with the dummy file or maybe I will try to create one myself.
Thank you all!

What does dummy has to do with the process? Have you tried the disc in Chankast like I suggested?

It's in his post: he has problem finding an appropriate bios for Chankast.

Dummy file located in the inner side of disc may provide better compatibility or higher access speed by pushing useful files outside, since some Dreamcasts have problem loading track that is too close to the center of disc. It works on my dreamcasts indeed.
