Sega Dreamcast noneboot to selfboot Easy Guide

[Zorlon]

Working:-

Armada
Evolution 2 - Far off Promise
Psychic Force 2012
TimeStalker

None Working:-

Death Crimson 2 To big (90min CD's or Ripping maybe the answer)
^ Ripping was one way round

I will add more as I do them

How I done it

(All files are presumed to be in the same folder for this guide)

1. Take the single session CD Image and mount it to Daemon Tools If you already burned it to CD, just insert it in your CD Drive
2. Use CDRWin to create a bin/cue Image of the CD Drive you have either mounted the CD Image to or your inserted you none boot CD, name the output file bin. (Free version will do fine)
3. Run Bin to boot.bat or Cue to boot.bat if it has sound tracks, this will create a image.cdi file
4. Now you can either mount image.cdi with Daemon Tools and play it through Chankast or you can burn it and play it with your actual Dreamcast

Note
Please note that this may not work with all nonebooting Dreamcast games so I will update the list as I find working games, I will also add a none working list if I find any

The attached file containes boot2bin.exe aswell as the 2 bat files
bin to boot.bat and cue to boot.bat

The bat files are there just to make things easy for those not so good with dos and makes it so you don't need to use any dos comand lines, as they do that for you.

Selfboot Chankast Game Notes (Windows 2000)

For CD sound tracks to work enable Daemon tools, Analog Audio option

Armada
Doesn't work with 0.25 (Starts boot then freezes)
100% working with actual hardware though

Death Crimson 2
Doesn't work with 0.25 (Starts boot then crashes Emu)
To big to burn on CDR 80's so yet to test on hardware
Was working on actual hardware when I tested after I made a few dummy FMV's to fit on a CDR 80

Evolution 2 - Far off Promise
Looks fine (only a short test without starting a new game)
100% working with actual hardware

Psychic Force 2012
This has GFX errors in version Alpha 0.25, but you can fix the GFX a bit by enabling Use ZWrite in the Options Drop down, then Configure Video, though the image gets squashed it still works OK from the test I done (I only done a quick test so there may be other settings that will help even more)
100% working with actual hardware

TimeStalker
Looks fine (only a short test without starting a new game)
100% working with actual hardware
