DreamSNES problems

[Malons]

Okay, so I followed what the tutorial at the top of this forum said.

I unzipped bootdreams into..

C:/BootDreams/

And I unzipped DreamSNES, and all my roms into...

C:/BootDreams/SNES/

I downloaded all the other stuff, like that AISP or whatever it was thing, and it wrote the disc correctly.

I put it in my Dreamcast, and it went to the "Play", "Music", "File", "etc" screen. I clicked play, and my tv flashed blue then went back to that menu.

My dreamcast is a NTSC, manufactured in April of 2000. I don't know if that affects it at all, but this is really starting to annoy me.

Thanks in advance!

1. You need to point BootDreams to '1DSNES.SH4'. So, start BootDreams, select your folder and click on 'Create Image'. BootDreams will ask you to select the main binary. You should select '1DSNES.SH4'.

(or: rename that file to 1st_read.bin before starting BootDreams and delete IP.BIN, BootDreams will create a new IP.BIN for you. The IP.BIN tells the Dreamcast which file to load first once the SEGA screen shows up.)


2. Which version of BootDreams are you using ?

1. My bootdreams doesn't have 'Creat Image', unless I'm looking at the wrong thing. Here's what mine looks like, if that helps or not...



2. BootDreams 0.6.1

1) Burn to blank media is the same thing.
2) I would try 1.0.1 if I were you.

Download v1.0.1a here:

Alright... it's still not working... so I'm going to post exactly what I do, and if you can't figure out how I'm screwing it up so badly then I'll just forget it... *Sigh*

Alright so now I have BootDreams 1.0.1

Here's what that folder looks like...



Inside the DreamSNES folder...



That's my folder setup...

Then I start up BootDreams...



It's automatically set for "Audio/Data" so I keep at that... then I click on the folder I want...



Then I click on "Process"

I click on "1dsnes.sh4"

Then it burns...

I put it in my Dreamcast...

Still doesn't work... what am I doing wrong?

Sorry I'm so much trouble ><;;

[Christuserloeser]

Hm, try BootDreams v1.01a:

http://www.consolevision.com/members...reams_101a.exe

It's a bugfix release to v1.01 - maybe the bug has been the reason ?

Otherwise rename "1dsnes.sh4" to "1st_read.bin" and delete the ip.bin file (or copy from another app/emu that uses "1st_read.bin" as a name for the binary).

i had issues with bootdreams, too. try suse selfboot toolkit. it natively supports snesdream and you don't have to do anything. just place all files in the data directory it creates and click on the dreamsnes.bat

just a suggestion, if you still don't get it done with bootdreams

[Malons]

Alright, I'll try what Christuserloeser first, then I'll take Xiaopang's advice. Once I get a more blank CD's ><
