I have this explanation from another forum, probably it helps you through the process...
After installing Daemon Tools, Free Hex Editor and extracting fastboot utils to a folder we can begin.
I extracted the fastboot utils in "D:\fastboot\". You can use whatever directory you wish.
STEP 1
- Have a non-bootable image (iso,cdi,nrg) of your game ready.
- Using daemon tools, set up a virtual CD drive and mount the image of your game (if you don't know how
this is done in daemon tools search the internet for tutorials).
- Open your fastboot util folder.
(You'll find a folder within the fastboot directory called 'Data'.)
- Open up the directory of the (virtual) dreamcast game cd drive. Copy all the contents of the virtual
cd onto the 'Data' folder.
STEP 2
- Now you should have all the game files in the fastboot\data directory. Copy the 1ST_READ.BIN file
found in the data folder to another location outside the fastboot util folder. You will edit this file
with the 'Free Hex Editor' utility.
- Open 1ST_READ.BIN with the 'Free Hex Editor' utility.
- Click on Edit->Select Block (or Ctrl+E with the keyboard). In the dailog box, leave the first text box
(start selection value) as it is and type xEFFFF in the second text box (end selection value) then press
OK.
- You will find that some of the entries are highlighted yellow. Now press the delete button (on your keyboard)
and press OK on the dialog box that appears. Save the file and exit the 'Free Hex Editor' utility.
STEP 3
- Copy the 1ST_READ.BIN file you edited back to the main fastboot directory (NOT the data directory).
- Now run 'BINHACK.EXE'. Now type:
1ST_READ.BIN for the name of binary
IP.BIN for the name of bootsector
0,0 for the msinfo value
If all goes well the 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.BIN files should be patched.
Now you copy the patched 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.BIN files into your fastboot\data - Folder
FINAL STEP
- Run b2b_game.bat and wait. b2b_game.bat creates an image file called 'image.cdi'.
- Test this file by mounting it on your virtual daemon tools drive, selecting the drive letter in chankast
and running chankast. You then cross your fingers
I just want to add that I use Alcohol 120% instead of Deamon Tools, otherwise i get an io-control-error
