How can I make Nester DC self boot with roms?

How can I make Nester DC self boot with roms?

Post by DLolos »

I want to make a CD with the roms on it but the only thing I can find on DCemulation is Nero images and disc juggler. Where can I download the regular files so I can put the emulator and roms in one CD?

You'll find a link to the NesterDC plain files in the guide below. Ahhh, the wonders of copy & paste! ;)

Download DSSBS Final from the Needed Tools page.

Download the latest version of the NesterDC 1ST_READ.BIN & the package from here.

Unzip the package & then put the IP.BIN into the folder called "files" that's in the package. Overwrite the old 1ST_READ.BIN in the "files" folder with the newer version if the package doesn't include the newest one already.

Unzip DSSBS Final & put everything from the package's "files" folder into DSSBS's "new" folder. So the "new" folder should have a 1st_read.bin, an ip.bin & 2 folders called games & pics in it.

Put your unzipped roms into the "games" folder.

Click on dssbs.bat, then press 1 to make a Discjuggler image or 2 for a Nero image.

Once it's done start up DJ & select New > CD Image to CD Recorder or start up Nero & select File > Burn Image, then burn it.

I just wanted to thank Dr Zoidberg for putting this process into simple terms! I've been using two discs since I heard about NesterDC, & could never figure out how to put it all on one.

Dr Zoidberg's little tutorial above works flawlessly.

You 'da man!
