Make sure you use an offset of 0,0 *NOT* 0,11700. Create an ISO from the files you have extracted, and the IP.BIN in the root directory.
Now you'll need a tool called 'mkisofs'. If so, make sure you take this in to account when creating the IP file. A WinCE game can be detecting by checking if it has a 'WinCE' directory on the CD. It normally needs to be pointing at the 1st_read.bin file, or perhaps a different file if it is a WinCE game. Using IPBIN4WIN, create an IP file which corresponds to the game. Download a free copy of ISOBuster from the net and extract the files to a directory from the. Go in to a DOS/Command Prompt and using CDIRip, rip the CDI file so that a. Rip the CD with DiscJuggler to a CDI file. Right, so you've got your CD written and you want to make it selfboot and work on your new Dreamcast. The data/data selfboot solution (No modifications to console needed): other Echelon releases that use the data/data selfboot format are unknown. It is also my experience that newer units won't boot the data/data format if the total image size is above 82 minutes (thus making it impossible to selfboot games like Sonic Adventure without ripping something out).Īddendum: Echelon's releases of NBA2K1 and NFL2K1 (and SFRush2049, of course) are already in the data/data selfboot format. (I have been able to get most of them to work though, by converting them to the old audio/data selfboot format.) According to Xeal this is a known problem with early Japanese models, which may explain why groups rarely use this format. Thus releases such as San Francisco Rush 2049, Deep Fighter & NFL2K1 don't work on my DC.

There have been some units manufactured in Oct. 
When buying a Dreamcast, look for Dreamcast units manufactured BEFORE October 2000. Not nice, especially considering nearly all previous games - including ECHELON rips - work like this.
Some newer DCs have their BIOS programmed to prevent booting CD(R)s which have audio (audio boot data in this case) before the game data (formally known as the MIL-CD format, informally as the audio/data selfboot layout).
