    Default NEO4ALL AES burning help plz

    I used bootdreams to burn a NEO4ALL/AES cd. I put the aes files in the root dir along with the 1st_read.bin and the NEO4ALL folder had these files in it:

    * Background_AES.bmp
    * Beep.wav
    * Colors.txt
    * Loading.bmp
    * Memcard.bin
    * Patch.prg
    * Splash_AES.bmp
    * Startup.bin
    * Text.bmp
    * Text2.bmp
    * Window.bmp

    The dreamcast-scene guide said that I could delete the other files that were originally there so I did.

    In bootdreams I used CDRecord and burned a DATA/DATA disc.

    For some reason when I ran the disc it didn't boot. Why is that?

    I'm unfamiliar with bootdreams; does it automatically generate an ip.bin file for you? If not, you may have to add one yourself. I just plucked the ip.bin from another DC emulator and dropped it into the root directory.

    You may want to double-check to make sure you've got the proper bios files, as well. It took me a few tries to find the right ones. That guide on dreamcast-scene is excellent (thanks, Christuserloeser!) and should steer you right. I, personally, am a blithering idiot, and even I managed to get it working

    Hope this helps, good luck.

    it did generate an ip.bin, i would think the cd would at least boot even if its a bios problem, but i'm sure its not

    Yes, you're right about the bios, now that I think about it. Maybe it's the manner in which you're burning? I suspect my own method is completely different (I'm on a Mac), but, for what it's worth, I burn as a Multi-track CD-ROM XA in two sessions, because the DreamInducer program I use produces two files, "fixed.iso" (which is the first session) and "header.iso." For me, at least, this has produced a useable disc almost every time.

    I'm not sure if any of this even applies to your situation, tho Anyone else out there have any advice to offer on using bootdreams?

    My nickname also comes from Kinski's "Jesus Tour" in 1971: "Christus Erloeser tour" - Yes, one could say I'm a fan
