This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications.

Glad to see you are working on so many great projects! I have a question however. Can you possibly list the zip rom names of what needs to be on the cd? See, I have roms named like "SHINOBI", "SHINOBIA" , "SHINOBIB", "SHINOBIBL"...and so on. I just want to be sure I burn the correct roms on the cd. A list of all the correct zipped romnames needed would be great! Keep up the great work my friend :)

Hey man I'm not going to play this emu, cus I don't have the roms and don't plan to get them. But the reason I'm writing this is to tell you that your work is always exciting to see. I cannot belive you have done so much. It just comes out of no where. How do you do it! You are amazing!

Thanks

You need the 'parent' rom. So say for example:

Cool Game (Japan) - cgamej.zip, uses roms from Cool Game world
Cool Game (USA) - cgameu.zip, uses roms from Cool Game world
Cool Game (World) - cgame.zip, parent rom.

You would need Cool Game (World). If you wanted the JAP and USA versions then what you need to do is:

1) Download MAME for PC (you need the .exe so the rom merger can build a DAT file)
2) Download a rom merger such as ClrMAMEPro
3) Merge your rom sets. This would then merge the USA and JAP roms into the parent rom, cgame.zip.

In your case you need Shinobi (Set 1). If you click on the other versions you will notice they say:

Shinobi Set 2/3/Bootleg Rom-Information
Archive status: size of archive: 258.44 kB
Uses roms from: shinobi

I would love to try this emulator (System 16 is my favourite :) ) but have no idea how to burn it. I have Nero but have only ever used DCFactory to build images. How do i build the selfboot image for this emulator?

Thanks

Cool i just did that. I used the IP_BIN from nesterdc-7.1.zip. The emulator doesn't run though :(

I get the Sega splash screen with a red Consolvision banner on it, then it fades to black and hear a techno tune for about 10 seconds, then silence and nothing but a black screen with a mouse pointer in the top left corner.

Any ideas?

I'm gonna try an IPbin from one of reapers other releases. Someone start a thread on getting this booted correctly! I'll post my results (or lack of results) tonight.

I dont think it has anything to do with the ip.bin to tell you the truth.
