Thanks. I downloaded a game, but the only files included are a .mdf and a .mds. Dream Tool doesn't seem to know what to do with these. Any ideas?

Hi, i am wanting to burn the latest version of Yabause, but i dont really know how to do it.

also, i have even tried and i used the wrong files from another emulator to burn it using BootDreams, thus no game wont boot up.

can someone help me here?

Do you have burned other Dreamcast homebrew before ? The only difference with Yabause DC is that you will need to add the Saturn BIOS.

Please remember that Yabause DC is a work-in-progress emulator that still runs too slow to actually play and enjoy games so the current version of Yabause probably might not be of any real value to you.

thats alright with me, i just want to try and see how it looks like thas all, and i can already assume it is near stable emulation from the revision version.

and no, i havent burned DC Homebrew, expect for PCSXDC, which took me awhile to discover how to do so.

and i do have the saturn bios, but can someone tell me how to do it exactly?

- Like I said, you burn it like all other plain files disrtibutions:

3 How to create and burn your own DC image with BootDreams:

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

2. Download the emulator/game/app you would like to burn and put it in a dedicated folder, e.g. C:/BootDreams/SNES4ALL/

3. Now unzip/unrar your emulator/game/app into that same folder. The 1ST_READ.BIN contains the actual DC program.

4. Start BootDreams and point it to C:/BootDreams/SNES4ALL/. It will then guide you trough the process. I recommend the 'CDRecord' method.

The Saturn BIOS goes in the same folder to where you extracted the emulator's plain files.

You will need to rename it to 'saturn.bin' like it says in the readme:

C:/BootDreams/Yabause/saturn.bin

and no, i havent burned DC Homebrew, expect for PCSXDC

PSCXDC is pretty slow and discontinued.


If you haven't burned any homebrew yet, I recommend to start with the CDIs we host at DCEvolution. Here are temporary links to our releases:

You can burn CDIs with BootDreams' internal CDI burner, Alcohol120% or DiscJuggler.

very much aware of that, butit had alot of potential, i think someone should carry on with it (PCSXDC).

also, where do i get the 1ST_READ.BIN and it also asks me for IP.bin.

Regarding PCSXDC: There's bleem!cast and there's the PSX4All project ...

ohh hohoho, i already have Bleemcast (GT2, Tekken 3) and they are great stuff, also i have the Thrill Kill and Time Crisis, however, these were built upon a beta, tus making them very buggy. i even asked which beta is this and is it possible to make amends to it so it can literally play the game perfectly?

and from your link, it just downloads me Yabause DC (which i already have) and there is no 1ST_READ.BIN and IP.Bin.
