Help a n00b out...any advice is appreciated! :)

Post by Emu_Fire »

I apologize in advance, but I'm pretty much a n00b and a lot of these tutorials use a lot of terminology I can't understand and it all just keeps confusing me :o

I pretty much want a self-boot disc that holds all SNES games. From what I understand, I'm supposed to download all the ROMs I want on the disc, unzip them, and put them in the "roms" folder (in the DreamSNES .zip file you download). But that's pretty much all I've learned how to do so far. Could someone please explain the rest of the steps in duh-duh english? o_r It would really help me out a lot!

My main confusions lie anywhere between the extra .bin files or whatever that I also have to download, and what program/s I have to use to burn the discs in the first place. The stickied self-boot tutorial at the top sounded simple enough, but there were a lot of complaints about why it wasn't working and I didn't understand any of those solutions to fix those common problems.

:brickwall:

Thanks a lot!

Alright guys I figured it out on my own. I had a whole list of steps that I went through but it turns out I just wasn't using BootDreams correctly. Thanks for the help anyways the disc works like a charm! It's actually pretty cool! =)
