I thought I'd give NesterDC a shot, but I'm having a few problems with it, and the readme file is no help at all...
1. I'm not a huge fan of wasting an entire CD that's only filled around 10%, so I'd like to SBI this with a few other things. I found an SBI for it, says it hasn't been tested though, and you still need the builder program. So...
2. How do I build it manually? Do I really have to ZIP all of my ROMs, or can I just throw them in the folder naked? Is there a character limit on filenames, or a limit to the number of files per folder? I tried using the builder, but if it's not going to recognize the homebrews and translations, there's hardly any point.
3. I really could care less about screenshots/box art/etc., and now that I know it will damage my laser, I'd rather prefer to not have them. I saw a few screenshots, will I get a big list of ROMs to sort through, or will it show one ROM at a time, with a big box where the art should be?
4. The readme says it's based on NesterDC 7.1, and the readme for 7.1 says it supports FDS, but the SE readme makes no mention of it. Did FDS support get removed, or is it still secretly there? How about Zapper support?
Okay, I think those are all the questions I had...I did a few searches, but couldn't really find anything. I'm almost tempted to just burn this SBI for 6.0 instead.
