Your Guide to Burning any selfbootable Dreamcast Emulator

[CanX]

This guide will hopefully help many of you who are having trouble burning a selfbooting disk for the Dreamcast.

1. You must download JimNESboot from here http://www.videogamearchive.com/emu/dreamcast/jimnesboot_universal.zip

You have just downloaded a zipped file. If you do not have something to open a zip file download this tool here. http://www.winzip.com/downau81.cgi?winzip81.exe

2. Open JimNESboot. Once you've opened JimNESboot you will see the following:

ReadMe - Stuff to Read
PROGS Folder - Do not touch this
JIMBOOT.exe - This is the program that will compile everything for you into a Nero file
NESDC Folder - You will place all your emulator and rom files in here

The following threads will show you how to boot specific emulators using JimNESboot. Please look for the emulator you wish to burn.

Burning NesterDC with JimNESBoot.

This should be very easy considering that this tool was made for NesterDC.

1. Download NesterDC from here.
http://www.emuxhaven.net/emuxhaven/nes/extras/nesterdc-6.0-bin.zip

2. Open NesterDC with winzip. To do this right click on the NesterDC zip and go down to where it says winzip. Once there go to extract to. Pick a folder in where to extract NesterDC.

3. This what you should see in that folder once its open.

IP.bin - Very important
1ST_READ.bin - Very important
Games folder - Very important
Pics folder - important

4. Open the JimNESBoot (Universal) folder

5. Place the IP.bin and 1ST_READ.bin inside the NESDC folder

6. Place the Pics and Games folder in the NESDC folder

7. Place all your roms in the Games folder

8. Once that is done double click JIMBOOT.exe and follow the instructions.

9. This will give you a .nrg file. You need Nero burning software for this. Get it here. ftp://ftp.us.nero.com/nero551042.exe
