CDI4DC (http://sizious.emunova.net/download/?idsys=2&idcat=4) and MDS4DC (http://sizious.emunova.net/download/?idsys=2&idcat=23), two utilities to generate selfboot disc images for your Sega Dreamcast, are now open source.
Tools are now part of the same package: IMG4DC – Dreamcast Selfboot Toolkit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/img4dc/).

A selfboot image is a disc image format specially prepared to boot on your Dreamcast. In clear, by burning a selfboot image to a standard blank CD-R, the software containted into this disc image will run onto your Dreamcast, as a legit game disc, without any modchip or other hacking device.

Content of the package :

CDI4DC: Designed to make Padus DiscJuggler (http://www.padus.com/) (CDI) images, the source is the lastest 0.3b release.
Supports Audio/Data (with fake audio track) and Data/Data formats.
MDS4DC: Designed to make Alcohol 120% (http://www.alcohol-soft.com/) (MDS/MDF) images, the source is the lastest 0.1b release.
Supports Audio/Data (with fake audio track), Audio/Data (with custom CDDA) and Data/Data formats.

To use this software package, you must have mkisofs from the cdrtools project (http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html). This tool will create the source ISO image needed by img4dc (http://sourceforge.net/projects/img4dc/).
