What is GDI Explorer?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GDI Explorer is a small tool that enables you to extract data
from *.gdi files. It works with both NAOMI and DREAMCAST images.

Features:
- Browse Dreamcast and Naomi GDI files
- Extract files (IP and IP0000 too)
- Generate "sorttxt.txt" file for mkisofs ("mkisofs [params] -sort sorttxt.txt")
- convert GD-DA (raw audio tracks) to CD-DA
- Decrypt Naomi binary (you may need naomi PIC DES key: http://guru.mameworld.info/naomi/index.html)
- Create CUE file for mounting images in a virtual drive.

- Fixed: Clean up GDIUtils.

Thank you, very good to use ~
Also make a suggestion, whether the SORT and extract the file into the gui interface IP inside the go?

[japanese_cake]

Thank you for testing it

YZB, I'm sorry but I don't understand what you want: youy want me to add columns sorting ?

Can you rephrase your suggestion please ?

Thanks

[YZB]

sorry，Please excuse my bad English~

I want to mention two proposals：
1.Could you make extracting IP.BIN possible?

2.Could you generate the sorttxt.txt according to the LBA?

[japanese_cake]

2.Could you generate the sorttxt.txt according to the LBA?

Already done in the v1.1 fixed version (just righ-click on "High/Low density area")

1.Could you make extracting IP.BIN possible?

From now, you can : I've just posted a newer version on my blog.

Thank you for yours suggestions

What's wrong with this ? "ID:CD001" is the PVD identifier and when you click on "View Boot sector" , it generates a track list from the boot sector...

Something isn't working properly ?
