Border Down - 60 Hz Fullscreen SELFBOOT
 

Yep, I did it. :)

It's really long to explain how, and it's a pain in the a** to make it, so I would like to release the file.

You can find 1st_read.bin here :

the file is Alx-bdwn.zip


Follow echelon tutorial to make a selfboot game.
The LBA I used is 11702.

nice work..!!

i got it to boot from 11702 before, but only from a web browser.
never from a selfboot stand-alone. never tried it.

so did this have some kind of protection or what??

It works! Superb work you've done here :)

well no ****, didn't think anyone was still working on that. but it awesome to hear. hey mega if you get a chance log on to irc, i know you tred to get ahold of me beofer but i missed yea. like to know how its done. thanks mna :D

=belokk=

Ask DCP : he knows. :)

See you on IRC !

i would like to know how you cracked it, too. maybe it can help me boot a few games that give me trouble. mainly SSF2X and Planetweb 2.62.

thx.

I've GOT to know how you did that, Megalexx! WOW!!

Bit crushed of course, since this means my browser-based (non-Ikaruga) selfboot is all for nothing now :P though it does truly autostart with no menu you have to click on first... but wow! You actually cracked the beast!

I didn't even know you had the tools/experience to crack stuff like that... You think you can get my Sega Rally 2 + cdda rip to play the CDDA? Since it's a WinCE game I just ain't able to do it as there is no documentation and no help whatsoever to be found anywhere online. Whaddya think? You'd truly be my personal hero ;)

border down + ikaruga (compil)(50hz) to border down selfboot 60hz

Hi everyone, I have a DC PAL System.
I'd like to make border down in 60hz mode

i've extracted the files from the "border" directory from the border down + ikaruga (compil net browser) ,and I've put it in c:\data directory

I've read MEGALEXXX Post where he suggests this:
"You can find 1st_read.bin here :http://members.lycos.co.uk/megalexxx/Patches/
the file is Alx-bdwn.zip"
I've downloaded this file, I've extracted 1st_read.bin, and I've put it in c:\data directory

cdrecord -dev=0,1,0 -msinfo give me out 0,11702
and MegaleXXX on his post suggest:"The LBA I used is 11702" ->ok

i binhack
i mkisofs
i ipin

i wrote, but my console reset after BORDER DOWN's NOW LOADING screen and DC return to CONSOLE MENU

WHAT'S WRONG ? protection ? help me please

Take the cd image, patch it with megalexx pal patcher, using 50>60Hz code, pal protection 1 and 2. Now, you can burn borden down + ikaruga 60Hz

Just wondering where Alx-bdwn.zip went? It's no longer available. :confused:

yeah, it isn´t there :confused:

I needed space.

You should have taken it when it was available.

Hum... can you mail the "Alx-bdwn.zip" to me? :D

Go there and you can download alx-bdwn.zip :D
I've used the 1ST_READ.BIN to build the selfboot disc using Echelon's tutorial and it worked flawlessly. :cool:

greetz!

pd: kudos to megalexx for this fix! :)

I used Echelon´s selfboot method and it worked I couldn´t believe it since it was the first time that I used this method, anyway the game selfbooted alright but in 50Hz!!!!! Argh oh well..
