GypPlay selfbootable?

Post by JayDeeDee »

Hello.

I want to use GypPlay on my DC but there's a huge problem. I have burnt it to a CD-R (the way I normally burn DC homebrew) but it doesn't boot. It hangs on this SEGA Enterprises screen.

Is it selfbootable or is there any way on how to make it selfbootable?
I don't have Utopia boot disc so If it isn't selfbootable I have to use another media player.

Sorry for being such a noob. :|

Try BootDreams: http://dchelp.dcemulation.org/?BootDreams

IIRC, it does work with WinCE stuff. Just remember that you should not scramble non-KOS binaries, so when it asks you, just click on 'No'.

Scrambling Katana and WinCE binary depends on your IP.BIN. I doubt the IP.BIN was hacked with BINHACK, but it if was then you shouldn't scramble the binary. Just delete the IP.BIN and have BootDreams make one for you and scramble the binary.
