Where t' hell I find a detailed guide to Selfboot Buddy?

I managed to grab it from somewhere, and when I try to use it, it asks me to choose a Selfboot Buddy INI. Now I know what INIs are generally and all, but how are SBB ones written out exactly?

Who's distributing that?

Erm, this place, for starters.

Skyhawk mentioned it in one of my threads a while ago.

Is this just a gui front-end for cdrecord and mkisofs for windows? I'm not sure why it would need any special files just to make an iso and burn (as long as the binaries are scrambled). At least in the unix/OS X world, only a few simple command line options are needed to get a usable DC disc. The gui should just execute the needed commands you would normally type in yourself. If it is a case of the binaries not being scrambled, there are utilities to that, no?

That's the old Selfboot Buddy. Where you need ini files to tell the program where to find what. A "new" one was released, wich uses the files where the ip.bin is located in. I got a version where you also can use a .mr logo. Personally I think this is still the plain files best selfbooting app, after that came selfboot and the SBI related ones.

If BurnerO agrees I can upload that version, it even comes with a tutorial written by me

So, what does BurnerO think then?

*Sighs* Might as well continue finding this other version myself....

Any updates on this progress whatsoever then?

Skyhawk's waiting for a reply from BurnerO (see quote), you'll be able to get your hands on it if he receives a reply (obviously if the reply is the one you want

).

burnerO rarely seems to visit these boards anymore. Skyhawk, I seriously doubt burner cares if you link to an old version.

I'm more accessible than you'd think, and am on aim the majority of the day.

My policy has (and always will be) that you're free to distribute anything that I've done in any form as long as credit is given.

And... I finally retrieved SelfbootBuddy 2.0 (0.92) from my old PC to my new one. I just need to package it up and upload it, what I will do tommorow

Sorry for the wait, I uploaded to here. This version is able to replace the iplogo.mr with your own, by replacing iplogo.mr in the Tools folder. I don't have the original iplogo.mr anymore, so the current one display's a DC Evolution logo.

If you want to have support for RockRidge and other file specific things than you must do Step:4 yourself. Just use the commands that was discussed in the other thread. If you have any questions, please post.
