trying to create an emudisc/ Dreamcast but it has no games?

[chrishicks]

ok first off this is disc #6 in my attemp to create an emu for my dreamcast. I was using discjuggler but non of the discs would work. I downloaded Alcohol 120 and now I can create a disc that has the emu but no games. what am I forgetting to do?

What emu/emus are you trying to burn?

[Saikyo]

You have to download the games you want yourself

but keep in mind that it is ILLEGAL to do so because these programs are

STILL ©opyrighted (yeah I know..) and doing so will make you a

 

If however you only want the PD roms (Public Domain) you are safe but

otherwise you may (or may not depending if they catch you) end up in

JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So do so if you dont mind doing stuff then put them in the directory

where the games go and then burn you should have the list of games come up on the

screen then all you have to do is choose and play!

Stop it.

Are you using SBI's or BIN's? Dc Hakker boot menu will help with plain files, plus you don't have to make a new disc for new emu's/homebrews!

If you're dealing with .sbi files, remember that once Selfboot Inducer unpacks all the files you wanted, you still have to go back and stick all your roms within the directory structure before telling Selfboot Inducer to create an image out of it.

 

It's also worth pointing out that the vast majority of emulators on the DC support disc swapping... so if the emulator already works, you can just burn all your roms on a seperate disc (You don't need anything special to burn a rom disc... just burn it like you would a regular data disc), and change discs when it's appropriate. This is a lot less convenient though.

I just burned an emulator disk for my DC the other day using Selfboot Inducer and it worked like a charm!

 

I simply downloaded the sbi's that I wanted (Atari800DC, DCStella and SMSPlus), put them in the /sbi/ dir of Selfboot Inducer and clicked the "barcodebutton" to unpack them.

 

After that I went to www.sbiffy.com and went to their forums. Looking under "General Chat" I found a post about which folders different emus use to search for roms (Topic name: Rom Folders).

 

I followed the guidelines there and everything works great.

 

Hope this helps!

Hey chrishicks, can you please type out the exact steps you took to burn the emu disks. then it would be easier for us to help you.

oops, I forgot to update this. I figured out how to do everything. I forgot to load the roms into the inducer file. no I'm on a hunt to find the roms for some other emulators I want to try.
