.elf burner

Post by impetus »

This is an idea I'm throwing out to those of you guys who do such a great job working with apps (Sizious, LyingWake, BurnerO, etc)

If there is a program that does this, please let me know.

Basically, a GUI-based or right-click program that combines these processes...

elf to bin conversion
bin scrambling (1st_read.bin)
adding an IP.bin
recording selfbooting disc

...into an easy process that doesn't require tracking down a bunch of different programs and trying to learn them all. I can kind of muck my through all of that, but it's a confusing process - and hard as heck trying to explain it to someone else. A program like this would be incredibly helpful not only to newbies, but to developers who do a lot of this stuff. Heck, I am pretty keen on it and I still have a lot of problems keeping everything in line, much less trying to explain to a musician in another state how to test our latest beta.

The ideal I kind of have in mind is being able to right click an elf file and choose "Burn .elf to CD".

That could be done. Gimme a few days and I'll get a test version out for you.
