How to burn NesterDC disk with games that actually works.

Post by smop »

I am having troubles burning NesterDC. Here is what I have done. I have downloaded the latest version of NesterDC (v4 I believe), unzipped the .nrg file and text that comes with it, and burned the image onto a cd. I put it into my DC without any roms in to see if it works. Nothing happens. It eventually brings me to the system menu. When I put it in my computer it has 3 folders on it. Assuming I'm just plain stupid (which I may be) can somebody give me a step by step guide on how to make a working NesterDC disk with roms on it that will work with my DC. (The more details the better.)

I followed the SUSE self-boot toolkit's instructions to the letter, and my burned CD fails to load.

Any thoughts? My CD is perfectly capable of burning a bootable CD (the disk images I download, such as Utopia boot loader, work fine.)

I had this same problem when I first started burning NesterDC. apparently the IP.bin is already scrambled. so if your attempting to scramble when making the disk selfboot, it renders it useless. ie. you scrambled the scrambled ip.bin hope this helps.
