Scrambled bin Plainfiles compiled bin with Src code patch's from megavolt85
Scrambled is for selfboot cd for dreamcast, and emulator's NULLDC etc's.. You need to unscramble them for dreamshell.. Also make, the CDI ISO data/data.Not audio/data that will not work.

This is the .rar of the software to make the .iso files to boot on the DC-SD DreamShell adapter

Openbor DC Is no longer updated, or supported by the creator's , that's why I'm trying my best to improve it. All credit to all the dev's in the past That worked on it, and made change's I'm not taking credit for any of it.
I'm trying to fix problem's that have been reported to me.

To compile the source you need to change kos and rebuild with these change

Original KOS cdrom.c

Code: Select all

/* Initialize: assume no threading issues */
int cdrom_init() {
    uint32 p;
    volatile uint32 *react = (uint32 *)0xa05f74e4,
                     *bios = (uint32 *)0xa0000000;

    /* Reactivate drive: send the BIOS size and then read each
       word across the bus so the controller can verify it. */
    *react = 0x1fffff;

    for(p = 0; p < 0x200000 / sizeof(bios[0]); p++) {
        (void)bios[p];
    }
patched KOS cdrom.c

Code: Select all

/* Initialize: assume no threading issues */
int cdrom_init() {
    uint32 p;
    volatile uint8 *bios = (uint32 *)0xa01fffff;

    (void) *bios;



make clean and rebuild kos ..

Gdrom.c In the bor engine..

Code: Select all

#define GDROM_READBUFFER_P2 ((char*)(((((int)gdrom_readbuffer)|0x1F)+1)&0x0FFFFFFF))
With these change's to kos it still load's cdr's

If you have any problem's compiling it let me know..
Thanks to all the staff at dcemulation , for such a fine forum..
