- Self-BooTDATA Pack by Familyguy (v1.4)
- All-32bit edition 2012
- This pack is meant to easily selfboot a games in 45000LBA data/data mode.
- It doesn't support CDDA tracks, but if you don't mind playing with no sound it'll work.
- WinCE games should works, but it's untested.
- ==============
- USE:
- 1) Run Gdi2Data.bat and follow the instructions, it'll extract the data from your gdi image files into
- the data folder, and put the ip.bin in the root folder of the pack.
- It also supports non-gdi dumps, but you'll have to manually specify some parameters.
- TIP: The starting LBA of the last data track can be found by running gdinfo_FG
- on the ip.bin (or track03.iso) of the game. gdinfo_FG.exe is in the Utilities folder.
- 2) Downsample the content to fit a cd if needed
- 3) COPY about 65MB of data to the data1 folder (only if the games fits tight)
- 4) Apply any non-lba based hack the game requires (game-specific copy protection)
- Go to the Ripping Database to find if your game is protected: http://www.bucanero.com.ar/dreamcast/ripdb/?
- 5) Run SELFBOOT.bat
- 6) Burn with alcohol or Nero, old nero versions seem not to support the tweaks used
- 7) PLAY !
- * You can add a 0.0 file to the data folder as a dummy, it won't apear in the filesystem.
- ** You can add a sorttxt.txt file to the root directory of the pack to sort your backup.
- *** You can add a logo.png to the root directory of the pack to add it to the boot screen.
- Note: The BOOT.BIN specified in the ip.bin must be in the DATA folder, for binhacking purpose.
- Duplicated files will be burnt once!
- ==============
- To help you downsample and mess with files, some utilities were included in the Utilities Folder
- ==============
- ADX(folder): Downsampling tools for ADX files
- Use: Read ADX\ADXLoopCalculator.txt for info on how to downsample and loop adx files
- A batch file to downsample wav files in 22050Hz as been included.
- bin2iso: Convert a bin file to a iso file, to use with extract.exe
- Use: bin2iso <binfile.bin> <ouput_isofile.iso>
- DUMMY: Create a file of any lenght, to create a 0.0
- Use: Dummy <FILENAME> <size_in_bytes>
- extract: Extract the content of a iso.
- Use: extract <Iso_with_TOC> <Iso_with_files> <Iso_with_files_physical_start sector>
- Exemple for a 5 track DC game: extract track03.iso track05.iso <track05_physical_start_sector>
- Exemple for a 3 track DC game: extract track03.iso
- REM: The physical start sector is the LBA of the track+150 (ex: track03.iso physical start sector is 45150)
- The disc TOC can be found in its gdi file, or by analysing its ip.bin with gdinfo_fg.exe
- IP.BINHACK: Automatic Hacking of IP.BIN and/or BOOT.BIN with support for CDDA and WINCEOS!
- Use: Run with a ip.bin in the same folder, the hacked ip.bin will be named ip.hak, the BOOT.bin
- specified in the ip.bin must be in the DATA folder.
- REM: AUTO.BINHACK in the root folder of the pack is the same, but with no "pause", for automated purpose.
- Makesort: Convert a isobuster filelist.txt (relative path) to a sorttxt.txt (with 0.0) usable with mkisofs
- Use: Run and follow the directions
- gdinfo_FG: Gather informations from the ip.bin and outputs it in a "game info.txt" file
- Use: Run with a ip.bin in the same folder, OR Drag and Drop a file to it (ex: track03.iso)
- It can also retreive the disc TOC from the ip.bin
- dc_sorts.rar: A collection of sort files for many games, simply rename to sorttxt.txt
- and put them in the root folder of the pack to use them.
- ISOFIX1.3: Can create a fixed.iso file with a readable filesystem from track03.bin or <track03.bin+dummy+LastDataTrack.bin>
- To use with isobuster to create a filelist.txt (relative path)
- Use: Run, follow the directions (track03.bin start sector is 45000).
- AFS(folder): Contain tools to mess with AFS files
- AFSCompactor: Compact AFS files by removing unused data. Save about 0.5MB per AFS, losslessly.
- USE: Run, follow the directions, the 1 option doesn't work, choose 2048.
- TIP: It's suggested to select the pack folder, check "process folder recursively" and choose 2048.
- AFSUTILS: Can extract and create AFS files.
- IDXCREATOR Can create a IDX file that matches a modified AFS.
- Gz(folder): A batch file to re-encode GZ files using high compression using. 7z
- ==============
- I hope you'll find them useful
