Need help getting any emulators working

[DCVPBC]

Now that I think about it, I don't think I can use CDRecord, I remember reading something about needing to use msinfo or something. Well, I pissed off a mouthy hacker who was messing with a friends site and now I get a message saying that msinfo can't be loaded at startup or something ;D. Is this important and if so, how would I fix it??

msinfo isn't a program, it's a function within CDRecord. You wouldn't get any messages while you're starting up your computer about msinfo.

Using CDRecord would be the most foolproof, since, in order to get a working boot disc, you would have to figure out how to make a selfbooting disc anyway.
;D

Well, I DO get a message saying something about msinfo, two actually, I'll even print screen it and post a pic to prove it. ;D

And as I said before, I've burned a couple of boot discs no problem. I'm completely convinced my problem is with the Selfboot progs. Whether I'm missing something or there's a conflict somewhere, why else would the boot discs burn ok and not the emus? The boot discs I burned where made by someone else and I downloaded and burned the nero image, but when I make anything sb it can't be read by the DC or PC that made it. I don't see how it could possibly be the burner or nero, never had any problems before......or even now as long as the images were made on a different PC.

did u make a DOA image with inducer, and tried to burn that? thats what i useally do, when i had nero 5, but now i have nero 6 so i use TOA. but i think DOA is better, but if you have nero 6 you have no choice but use TOA.

btw never burn a TOA as a DOA or the other way round, it will not work.

as a test why don't you download Gameboy/Gameboy Color image at dcevo.com (its a GB emu with a load of poblic domain roms) download the cdi image and use cdi2nero to convert it (to a DOA). see if that works....

I deleted all the sb progs from my pc and I'm not gonna download them again just to make another coaster. I've tried 15 different ways and none of them worked so I give up on sb all together at least until I get a new pc, which will probably be a while.

All I need is the NesterDC 6.0 plain files for making a non-sb disc, but I can't find them anywhere, so I might just have to give up on the whole thing. :P

[Darksaviour69]

the first disc is the hardest! don't give up, inducer does work 100s of people use it ( 1000s? )


Q: did you try to make a DOA image with inducer?

[DCVPBC]

I don't even remember I've done so many different ways, thats another reason I just want to make a non-sb, and I'm running out of cd's and I still need to burn my tunes, and this pc is eeeeevil and I am psychic and I know that NO sb programs are going to work on it no matter what.

I'll try the sb stuff a couple more times when I get more cd's but until then, everybody needs to stop trying to get me to use sb programs, starting to feel like you guys are just trying to get me to waste all my cd's. ;D :P

[Darksaviour69]

well in the long run you save cd with dream inducer, Dc Hakker can be used to boot your dc stuff and you can use multi session cds 2 (that mean you can add more to the cd later) but i have never used it

Ok, now I just need to know where to get the NesterDC 6.0 non-selfboot files....the emulator itself....ready for non-selfboot burning. ;D

If you open up the SBI file for it in WinZip or WinRar, you'll have all the files you need.
