JimNESBoot Version 0.85 Released!!

Post by UberJim »

I have created a self-boot tool made specifically for NesterDC. This tool creates a self-booting Nero image. Long file names are supported as well as lower case letters, hyphens, parenthesis, and other non-common characters. This tool is painfully easy as well.

For now get the tool at:
http://www.geocities.com/jimmack2002/dl/JimNESBoot.zip
(right-click and Save Target As...)

Hopefully this tool will get hosted here at DCemulation.com.
This tool may be posted anywhere, as long as my name is attached to it.

Thanks for the nice reply. Do you have any ideas on improving the tool? I was also thinking of making a DreamSNES specific tool if this one is well received.

Nice tool, I tried it out on the newest daily nester and it did what it said it would do :) ! You should add a option for a DJ image.

Well, the one thing that I like the most is that there are no options, it is as simple as can be. I could whip up a DJ only version really easy, but I don't use DJ so someone else could test it. Come to think of it, I will whip a DJ version up right now.

Well, here is the DJ version as requested:

I haven't tested this but I am pretty sure that it will work. The tool works in exactly the same way except the final result is a DJ image rather than a Nero image.

You should combine both DJ and Nero options

I kind of said this already but here goes. This isn't really an option for me because my whole deal for this program was that it would be as simple as can be. Simple meaning one task, for one thing. If I make more tools like this, I will always have DJ and Nero seperate. This adds to the whole simplicity of it.

Also, are there any ideas for my next tool? This one seems to have been well received.

Gah! My idea was taken! Oh Well. Into the trash NesterDC Tools and DreamSNES Tools go. Or maybe not. I might still continue what I was doing because mine will have a few differences.


- DiscJuggler, Nero, CDRWin, and FireBurner support (thx to discostu)
- Maybe a combined interface ?
- Files included (this has got to be the hardest part when it comes to these batch files)


Overall, this batch file is excellent.
BTW I learned a huge chunk of batch knowledge from Suse and Discostu, and I started to look it up, so if you need help with anything or you want to add a new feature, just PM me !

Thank you everyone for supporting my tool, support is key when comes to my tool.

I just figured that I would give Shnapple something more to *work* with.

Did you guys look at the included ReadMe, or did you just kinda go with it. I think that this tool is easy enough to use and not even look at the ReadMe. The ReadMe contains some links and such for those of you who didn't look at it.
