try downloading the nesterdc plain files and taking the ip.bin and 1st read.bin from that zip file and putting those files in the directory that the program told you to put them 8)

I haven't tried NesterDC myself yet, but the IP.bin and 1st_read.bin are two files included with every Dreamcast emulator release. They should be in the zip file you downloaded for nester and you should be able to grab them from there.

Hope this helps, as I said I, haven't used nesterDC myself yet (I suppose I really should!)

Quick Question:
Did you look at the included ReadMe in the ZIP of the JimNESBoot tool?
It has directions on which files to get and such, try that.
