SMEG V0.84 ---- Help me....

[wdg8]

I'm trying to burn SMEG with mkisofs and cdrwin, but I can't seem to get it to work quite right. My Dreamcast locks-up at the licensed by Sega screen. There are 3 major things that might help me.

1. Do I use scrambled or unscrambled 1ST_READ.BIN?

2. Do I burn it Mode2/XA?

3. Do I use BINHACK.EXE?

Please understand that I have burned many Emulators with mkisofs, so I'm not some kind of clueless newbie. The only reason I'm asking these questions is because other emus don't have 2 1ST_READ.BIN files and the Selfboot Tutorial for SMEG says to burn it Mode1 without BINHACK (all the selfboot emus I've burned so far are Mode2/XA and either use BINHACK or specify in the readme not to use it).

If anybody out there can help me, Thanks.

I selfbooted DreamSNES with Suses Selfboot kit. It worked flawlessly.

Thanks, but I downloaded it and when I ran it I found out that it won't work with V0.84. And as for V0.80 it will only make non-selfboot. Anyway, if anybody out there has succesfully made a selfbooting SMEG, please reply.

It does work with V0.84. Maybe you missed something. Make sure you have the following files:

IP.BIN
1ST_READ.BIN

As for your roms, check out this topic.

Suse's selfboot toolkit creates Diskjuggler images. Get Diskjuggler version 3.5
Go to where you extracted (unzipped) the toolkit.
The Data folder acts your CD root. Click on the bat file for the emualtor you wish to make an image of, in this case SMEG. Once it is open, it will create folders inside the "data"folder and tell you where to place each file necesary for the emulator that you picked. If you do not have a folder called data, create one and place it in the same folder where the toolkit is.
Once that is done, press any key to make your Diskjuggler image. When the image is made, open Diskjuggler, locate your image, then press start to burn it. Nothing else needs to be changed.

When the burning is finished, you will have a selfboot SMEG CD with roms.

Happy gaming

EDIT: Whoah! It took me a while to reply this would have been right under wdg8's post.

I tried DSSBS and I noticed it didn't use BINHACK.EXE, so I tried mkisofs/cdrwin without using BINHACK and it worked.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond.
