Hi.
Does anyone know of any Linux apps that can scramble, or descramble, homebrew Dreamcast binaries? I looked into Fackue's bin checker app. Unlike the Windows version, it appears the Linux version can only tell you the state of the binary, but not modify it.

Is there a Linux app for (de)scrambling binaries?

I've got the c file that supposedly does the job. Granted, I've never successfully tested it as I ended up using a Nero image to create my dctool disc; however, this c file is provided on several Dreamcast homebrew websites.

[EDIT]
Oh, wait, sorry. This only scrambles/descrambles the boot file on the disc.

Compile it with GCC.
Most people don't distribute Linux binaries, since different versions of libraries can break things.

Re: Is there a Linux app for (de)scrambling binaries?
I would have thought a simple binary wouldn't need dependencies, or at the very least could use a few static libs. For instance, FamilyGuy's BinHack32 Linux binary has worked across several 32, and 64, bit distros for myself.Most people don't distribute Linux binaries, since different versions of libraries can break things.
Thanks, that did the trick.Compile it with GCC.
Could someone test this out with their Linux install, maybe for creating a sdiso?

Re: Is there a Linux app for (de)scrambling binaries?
It is a Dreamcast binary (de)scrambler. If you know how to build sdisos, could you use it to unscramble the binary used in the iso?
I'm trying to put together a tutorial on creating sdiso images, and I'd like a Linux method not requiring Wine. This should be the last tool needed.
