OK, here you find the ipins.exe along with other "rare elements":

it is linked from this echelon selfboot tut page:

and took me just 10 sec. to search for at google. Hope it helps!!

To get the DC files, you can use this techniques too:
8. Lets get all the DC "program" files! We need the main executable, in most cases its the 1ST_READ.BIN or 0WINCEOS.BIN , and (if present) all the additional files and folder and the IP.BIN . Of course all these files together must not exceed the empty space of the PSX CD!
9. Get these files:
The easiest way is just insert a already selfbooting DC-CD and simple copy the files over to your harddisk. Create a folder C:\data and put all files and folders of the CD into the "data" directory.
[(9a. Only if there is no IP.BIN file present:
Save the whole DC- data session as CD-Rom Mode1 2048 ISO, open file with Hexeditor, select 32768bytes from the beginning and save these bytes as IP.BIN)]
[(9b. Only if you have a cdi ISO: Open the DC ISO with CDMage and simple extract the files. If there's no IP.BIN, right click the data track and extract as Mode1/2048. It doesn't matter if there is any "extraction error", you only need the first 32768 bytes of the whole ISO. Save them as IP.BIN)]
[(9c. Only if the DC data is in "non selfboot format" (=old utopia boot disc required format)! ThX 2 Echelon! :
Run the program BINHACK.EXE. When it prompts you for the binary file to modify, Pick the boot.bin. In most cases the boot.bin is the 1ST_READ.BIN. Just open IP.BIN with your hexeditor, look direct at the beginning, and you'll see the name of the bootfile before the last Sega string at offset 96. If it detects that the BOOT.BIN is a Windows CE Exectuable (0WINCEOS.BIN), it will not modify the 0WINCEOS.BIN. If it detects that this Executable is a normal Katana Executable, It will ask you for the previosly computed LBA number! It will then modify the BOOT.BIN according to this number. Next, It will ask you for the filename of the Bootsector. Here, you should input IP.BIN. It will hack the IP.BIN for self-boot purposes.]
