After SelfBoot DIsk is too BIG!

the_darkmaster · August 27th, 2004

Hi people, I guess some others had the same problem too. Certain times, when I use bin2boot to selfboot a DC game, the resultant image is too long (In minutes) to be actually burned! Plus, if I try to mount it on Daemon tools, the program works fine but after that, the virtual CD results unreadable! Can anyone help me out on this?

I read that you need Daemon Tools 3.29 to make the new file type .CDI work on the dreamcast. It's kinda hard to find that old version though but I hear that's the only way.

hei man, are you after all of my posts?

just kidding. By the way, I was kidding also in the other post genius!

of course we're talking about emuz, don't warry, I know and I also tried to give a ssible solution. But what's more imrtant, the solution you suggested worked! In fact my latest dtools didm't work fine with cdi! I found the version u'r talking about and everything whent ok. But I wonder if u know: how can I actually burn too big cdis? Not simply emulate. Thanks a lot again!

I'm not sure how to burn CDI files that are bigger than a normal 700MB disc. I intend to store all my CDI files on a DVD-ROM and then just copy the game I want to play to the hardrive.
Also, glad to hear the suggestion about Daemon tools 3.29 worked. You can thank Manias for it though, as I got the idea from him.
