    Default Where are the .cdi images?

    I am currently using the latest version of NullDC (104 r136), and I have some
    Dreamcast ISO's. I have checked around and have learned that I can load any .bin/.cue files into NullDC and expect them to run. The only way to use them, is to burn them to CD, of which I have none.

    I'd really like to find cdi images instead of just burning CDs all day, and I know its impossible to convert .bin to cdi images.

    So, where can I find cdi image files? Don't want bin/cue, but that's all I seem to find on the internets.
    The game I'm looking for the most, is Raiden III cdi

    Suggestions?

    I think NullDC can handle GDI dumps too, which would be better because they aren't rips (unaltered).


    You know there are DC games here in the forums because I've seen you post in there:
    http://www.epforums.org/forumdisplay...reamcast-Links

    And the main site has some stuff too:

    I don't think Raiden III for DC is here, but the PS2 version is on the main site.

    Spoiler warning:

    Ah, the PS2 version works out nicely.

    Converting DC ISOs from BIN/CUE to CDI is very easy. I used to use a program called Bin2boot for that many moons ago, I believe it was just a case of dragging the .BIN file onto the app and it would create a CDI file from the BIN. The reason some games are BIN/CUE is because they'll have been put on the Internet before CDI (selfboot) images were a thing.
