A new selfboot tool has made its way by yours truely.
BootDreams will pave the way for all things to come (not really, just wanted it to sound good). Actually, this selfboot tool is fully packed. Check out some of the cool features it has:
- Create DiscJuggler images
- Create Nero TAO & DAO images
- Burn a disc with a single click using the CDRecord GUI
- Burn to a fresh or continue a multi-session disc with the CDRecord GUI (for DemoMenu and DCHakker)
- Burn AUDIO/DATA & DATA/DATA formatted discs with the CDRecord GUI
- Detect the status of binary when creating image (you will be alerted when the binary is unscrambled)
- Create an IP.BIN if none is detected
- Option to auto-dummy a CD (AUDIO/DATA dummying has a cool feature, the audio is the dummy, saving your Dreamcast's laser from sliding all over the place on a regular file dummy)
- Rockridge & Joliet Support (no more file names in NesterDC as SUPERMARIO_!__USA_.NES)
- BDS file support (Place these bad boys in the \bds folder. Select the one for your homebrew game and if a required file wasn't found, it'll let you know and stop the image creation)
I still have things planned for other versions, but I won't list them here. I don't want to dissapoint anyone if it never gets done. If you notice any problems, and I mean any, e-mail me at [email protected]. Hope you enjoy!

I must give a big thanks for the following people:
BlackAura for isostrip and his knowledge about CDRecord
SiZiOUS for creating a command line version of IP.BIN Creator
curt_grymala, OmegaDog, SiZiOUS for testing
http://www.visualbasicforum.com for their help with my screwed up code.
