Extract BootDreams and the BDS images for HuCast. Place HuCast preview.bds in a subfolder of BootDreams named, bds.
Extract HuCast_Preview.zip to its own folder. Don't worry about whether the 1st_read.bin is scrambled or not - BootDreams will handle this. Don't worry about obtaining an Ip.bin - BootDreams will handle this.
Place all ROM supported by HuCast in the extracted HuCast_Preview folder. Make sure they're in the root of the folder.
Open BootDreams and goto Option>Use BDS image. Make sure it's checked, and make sure the BDS image in the bds subfolder.
Choose your image/recording method and start.
You will be asked to select your BDS image, select HuCast preview.bds. If you're prompted that 1st_read.bin is unscrambled scramble it.
That's it. You have a working disc/image.

That's exactly what I told him. ;D
It should work perfectly. Worked beautifully for me.
Re: For those having problems burning HuCast previ
Didn't work for me!
I selected the folder of the HUCAST folder I extracted the Hucast Preview into, I selected the right bds file - I was burning DiscJuggler image - and I got a coaster.
First thing that strikes me, no IP.BIN on the disk burned.
Re: For those having problems burning HuCast previ
Did you use BootDreams 0.1? LyingWake mentioned in another post that his first public release of this tool somehow screwed up the BDS functionality, and that he was working on a fix. I don't know if he released that fix yet or not. :-/
Re: For those having problems burning HuCast previ
warmtoe, if bin2boot asked if you would like to create an IP.BIN and you typed in the right name, 1st_read.bin, then you don't need to worry about the IP.BIN because it won't be burnt on the disc. It's automatically be hack into the image.
No, the fix has not yet been released, as that's only geared toward helping people relizing that they need an ASPI driver installed if they do not already have one.
From what it sounds like, it might not be you burning the image incorrectly, but HuCast may not like your DC for some reason. Is your DC PAL? Maybe try burning the DiscJuggler image with Alcohol - maybe your CD writer needs the settings set in DiscJuggler (I've never had problems with the default settings)?
EDIT: I probably should of made the BDS image more detailed -- did you put your ROMs in the root folder?
Re: For those having problems burning HuCast previ
I have already have PAL users tell me it works, even though I didnt take that into account =P. btw, warmtoe, this doesnt have the changes you made to the sound, but i was able to fix the static (turned out it was asking for 16bit sound but playing 8 bit without converting =P.
