Can't boot up cdi, nrg images?

[realworksuks]

Yeah i've tried about 6 games now and none of them work. Why am I having this problem does anyone know? Someone should just post a walkthrough on all the steps that must be done in order to play a game.

i've tried it with about 6 games so far, I can't get anything to work. I don't know what i'm doing wrong. Could someone post a step by step guide on how to make games run on this?

[PrehistoricGear]

Same problem. Bin2Boot didn't work for me. I tried using the zNullGD plugin but it crashed my comp.

[realworksuks]

can someone please just post a guide on how to make it work?

@PrehistoricGear
Why not try Image Reader plugins instead zNullGD plugins?
@realworksuks
Guide to load the game: Open "File", then "Normal Boot". Its open another windows, then select any game that have cdi or ngr image. Its start to boot nomally, then you can play the game.

bin2boot worked perfectly for me, thanks!

Yeah I tried that right away and it didn't boot anything, it just remained on the white screen. Do you have to mess with the plugins in a certain way?

Wow, people are gonna be clambering over each other to help you with that attitude.

By the way, what are your specs, you sure your system's up to it? Getting any strange error messages in the console window?

[PsyMan]

I just love the attitude of some people.

There's really no need for a guide because it's pretty simple. If the game is supported then it should run without much configuration. If it works on your dreamcast it doesn't mean it'll work on nulldc. I tried creating my own cdi files but it just doesn't work in nulldc. Only the ones I find online works. So I suggest you try that.

[realworksuks]

ha of course I have to be an ******* to finally get some replies. Guess that's how the world works huh?

I am using CDI files that I found online, that when I burn on my dreamcast they work fine.

My computer specs are an athlon 3800+ 2.4 ghz
1 gig of ram
geforce 7600 GT

so my computer specs can't be the problem. I just hit run, then pick the ISO and the emulator just sits there on a white screen not doing anything, the initial white screen when you start the emulator with no game in it. So i have no idea what is going on.

I've tried multiple games that are supported as well..

[PsyMan]

White screen usually means that you did something really wrong, like missing to read the readME and what's written on the forums for example.

The funny is that there are quite a few people in here that know the exact problem you have and the way to solve it.

[realworksuks]

i've read the readme, what problem are you talking about?

Like I said it's the white screen that comes up right when you just open the emulator, so it doesn't do anything.

"The funny is that there are quite a few people in here that know the exact problem you have and the way to solve it."

that's what I thought, can't someone just tell me? I thought dreamcast players were suppose to stick together or somethin?

[PsyMan]

Well... I'd personally do... Until you started acting like an ******* that is...

[realworksuks]

.... I waited for over a week for responses and none came. It took me to be an ******* to even get responses. Just help me out man.

[SisterCheeba]

To paraphrase a certain someone, why don't you quit being lazy and go help yourself?

[realworksuks]

hmph, you guys are mean.

[PsyMan]

OK you said the magic word and convinced me

Go to the plugin configuration of the emulator and make sure that you have "nullDC Controller [Winhook]" as your controller plugin (not Winhook.NET).

If we were you wouldn't have been able to post that message in the first place, I've seen people get banned for less you know

1. Double posting (nowadays it's a non-issue because of the auto-merging, it used to be offending the rules)

2. Downloading warez and requesting help with it, normally you'd be told to make your own files and your thread would get locked. Only legit DC gamers stick together, they ignore the others

Anyway, enjoy the emulator, and if you can, post some interesting screenshots, cause we're always looking forward to those.

wow thanks man, i can't believe it was something so simple. The only other question I have is if there is some way to for that emulator to accept input from a controller other than the keyboard..

I have a usb to playstation controller and would prefer to use my playstation controller. I tried to set up the keys with it but nothing responded, is there no way to do that?
