selfboot question
 

hello, everyone! i need your help,i wanna make SEGAgen(BIG fonts edition) to selfboot!
i read many threads,and try my best,but always .......

here is my followed:

================================================== =========

method1:

i have all the files,and my LBA is 11700,
i bihacked them first with IP.BIN read only,At last i binhcked the 1ST_READ.BIN without IP.BIN read only,then MKISOFS!
IPINS i used anther IP.BIN,it isn't i used for BINHACKs!
(I fist wanna use the same IP.BIN,but after read the posts,i think it's good to use another IP.BIN,ANOTHER IP.BIN comes from

NESTERDC V7.1)
burn!
but on my DC,it restarts after SEGA ...LTD fonts appeared! why?

method2:
someone telled me only binhack 1ST_READ.BIN,I tryed,no success! IS this method OK?


mehtod3:
I use FASTBOOT to make a selboot,I binhacked all with LBA 0,0
on my DC, it beacame black screen after "DEXXXXX" LOGO srceen!,so i think i need to binhack the second "CD001" in

1ST_READ.BIN &MANIFEST.BIN


I use URLTRAEDIT to edit 1ST_READ.BIN &MANIFEST.BIN for the second "CD001",I FOUND"43 44 30 30 31"="CD001".
I binhacked the 1ST_READ.BIN,compare them(original:binhacked),LBA input "0,0",I found"20 25 64 21"changed into"A6 00 00 00"

(20 25 64 21=original,A6 00 00 00=binhacked),then I changed the first "CD001","43 44 30 30 31"to"43 43 43 43 43",binhack

again!I think this time it will binhack the second "CD001",LBA INPUT= "0,0".Recover"43 43 43 43 43"to"43 44 30 30

31",NOW,diffreences in the second "CD001" between original and binhacked can be compared,but in fact,no changes!so what must

be binhack for the second "CD001" is "A6 00 00 00",if your LBA is 11700 or 11702. In FASTBOOT,BIN2BOOT need "0,0",so we

needn't binhack the second "CD001"



all methods i thought!but...........

my SEGAgen downlanded here ,is there any more? I DONT have "Lemec's loader"..........

hi,

i think there are 4 .bins to binhack. 1st_read.bin, manifest.bin, maigo.bin, mde_us.bin..? open each one in a hex editor and search for 5A2E0000. if they appear in each bin then they are already hacked to lba 11700. if not, search for 5C2E0000. if you find it, change to 5A2E0000. if there are 2 instances, change both.

just to be safe, binhack the 1st_read.bin to 11700 with the IP.BIN and use that ip.bin to ipins in the .iso.

hope it works.

Thanks for hrb2k's replay!

but in 1ST_READ.BIN and other BINs,I can found neither 5A2E0000 nor 5C2E0000

nope??

try to search for A6000000. change it to 5A2E0000.

ONE: (NOT BINHACK, ALL edit by Urltraedit)
First in 1ST_READ.BIN I found 2 "A600"
GINRESET.BIN 2
MANIFEST.BIN 3
MDE_US.BIN 2

Rework "A600" to "5A2E" (My LBA is 11700)
MKISOSF
IPINS （Use the IP.BIN IN SEGAgen)
BURN!

After SEGA ,it restarts!

TWO:
Process as ONE!But binhacked 1ST_READ.BIN,Now,in 1ST_READ.BIN there are 3 "5A 2E 00 00" ,the former one is"20 25 64 21",after binhack,it's"5A 2E 00 00"

BURN!
After SEGA ,it restarts,too!



I think i need to check every "A600",because not every "A600" has their own
CD001"?

make sure you search for a6000000 and not just a600. change to 5a2e0000.

only change it before cd001.

after you do that, just binhack the 1st_read.bin WITH the segagen ip.bin. ipins with that ip.bin.
