Please help with SelfBoot Inducer....PLEASE!

Post by MadDoc »

Ok I'm not a newb to self booting or Dreamcast apps in general [I've made many discs including FrNES, DreamSNES, QuakeDC, DCGenerator etc] but I really can't get SelfBoot Inducer to work. I've re-organised files, re-downloaded files, burnt it using CDRecord, DiscJuggler and Nero....but all to no avail. Everytime I make it and put it in my Dreamcast it makes a wierd sound like it's trying to load it a few times for about 15 seconds then it says theres no disc. Can anyone help or has anyone had the same problem? :?:

I'm so confused and annoyed.... :cry:

Any help is MUCH appreciated.

I had that same problem (not with dream inducer, but with nesterdc...) and later i figured out why. I never closed the last session. Now i always close the last session on the cd and i didnt have any problems since.

When it comes to Dream Inducer i use Nero (DAO format)- since i get an illegal field errror when burning in tao format...

Thanks guys [I've asked loads of people including BurnerO and they couldn't figure it out]....One thing....

How do I close the second session if I'm using a Nero image?
