I need help self booting the latest version of Gen Plus with Self Boot or Boot Dreams or hell...Anything! I found a tutorial for selfbooting GenPlus with Self Boot, but it seems to be for an earlier version or something (The one with no sound) and I'm looking for a tutorial for the latest version (With sound)...Apparently the version I have is lacking required files and folders (1st_read.bin and and a gen plus folder) listed in the tutorial. :mad:

Can anyone help? A easy to follow tutorial if that's what I need, or a copy of the latest version of Gen Plus with all required files and folders would be greatly appreciated...Thanks! :D

There is a tutorial on how to burn it I posted here:

There are two ways of burning it. I will guide you through both.

Using SBInducer:

1. Download the SBI from here:
http://consolevision.com/members/sbiffy/browse/browse.cgi?browse&Emus - [The file is called 'Genplus3_bO.sbi']
Make sure your browser didn't rename the file to a '.zip'-file. If so just rename it back.

2. Get SBInducer v4 from
http://consolevision.com/members/sbiffy/files/ - [The file is called 'Sbindv4.exe']

3. Install SBInducer and put the 'Genplus3_bO.sbi' in your C:/SBInducr/SBI/ folder.

4. Start SBInducer. Select 'SBI2Boot' and click on 'Extract SBI'.

5. Switch back to Explorer and put your Genesis/MegaDrive games into a subdirectory in C:/SBInducer/Inducer/, e.g. C:/SBInducer/Inducer/Games/. The games could be zipped or unzipped.

6. In SBInducer, you click on the DiscJuggler or Nero icons to create the image. I personally prefer DiscJuggler.

7. Burn the DiscJuggler image with BootDreams' CDI-burner or Alcohol120% in TAO mode.

Alternatively you could use BootDreams:

1. Download BootDreams and install it to e.g. C:/BootDreams/

2. Create a folder called C:/BootDreams/GenPlus/

3. Put the 'Genplus3_bO.sbi'-file into that folder, rename it to 'Genplus3_bO.zip' and extract it into that same folder.

4. Create a subdirectory called C:/BootDreams/GenPlus/Games/ and put your games into that folder. The games could either be zipped or unzipped.

5. Start BootDreams and point it to C:/BootDreams/GenPlus/. It will then guide you to the process. I recommend the 'CDRecord' method.
