I edited this post so you can make your own custom Dream Passport 3 disc with your own DC games on it.


From your DP3 disc, you'll need the following files

1ST_READ.BIN
MAIGO.BIN
SG_DPLDR.BIN
DP3.INI

You will also need an ip.bin (obviously)

You will need also the following folders form DP3:

DPETC (Contains 9 files)
DPFONT (Contains 4 files)
DPMODEL (Empty folder, but is required)
DPSS (You can put images here to be your screensavers)
DPTEX (Contains 25 files)
DPWWW (The amount of files here depends on how many games you will have on the disc. One file you must have here is "index.htm". There is also a sub-directory called "IMG" which has four files)

Now all the files and directories you took from your DP3 you will need to place in the root directory of the disc you will make.

Also in the root directory you will need to create a folder for each game you plan to have on the disc. Inside that folder place all the files of that particular game.


Now you must edit the DP3.INI file. Open it with notepad and edit the following lines:

[Browser]

StartURL1='file:/dpwww/index.htm'
StartURL2='file:/dpwww/index.htm'
StartPage='file:/dpwww/index.htm'


then a little further down you'll see the following


[Launcher1]

AppUrl='http://www.sonic.com'
AppDir='[B]Name of game folder[B\]'
AppName='1ST_READ.BIN'
AppOS=0
AppDA=3

[Launcher2]

AppUrl='http://www.sonic.com'
AppDir='[B]Name of game folder[B\]'
AppName='1ST_READ.BIN'
AppOS=0
AppDA=3

The line with "AppDir=" needs to have the name of the folder you assigned to your games.

Now, the line with "AppDA=" this applies to games that have digital audio (CDDA). Put where ever the first audio track begins. If the game does not have digital audio just leave this line alone. Once you make the changes save DP3.ini.

You'll need to add more if you want more than 3 games, for example

[Launcher3]

AppUrl='http://www.sonic.com'
AppDir='[B]Name of game folder[B\]'
AppName='1ST_READ.BIN'
AppOS=0
AppDA=3

and so on...


You can have images of the game(s) you will put on the disc. The images must be placed in the DPWWW folder. Don't make the images too large since on your monitor they will loook small but on your TV they will look huge. You can name the image whatever you want.

Next inside the DPWWW folder you must edit the INDEX.HTM file. Open it with notepad and edit the name of the games to match the name of the games you woll put on the disc. Also, you can edit the links of the images (which are in the DPWWW folder) to match the ones for your games. And you must add a link for each game you wish to launch, look for a line like this

href="x-avefront://---.dream/proc/launch/1">

I don't know a lot of HTML so I really can't help more than that. Once you're done with that save the changes and open it with your internet browser to see if it's correct.

Now you must hack the boot bins (usually 1st_read.bin) for each game with the correct LBA value (11700 or what ever it may be for you depending what you have in the first session of your disc.) Make sure to have the ip.bin file which you will use for your DP3 disc when you hack the boot bin. You'also need to hack the bin files in the root folder MAIGO.BIN, SG_DPLDR.BIN and 1ST_READ.BIN. Binhack 1ST_READ.BIN last. Once all that is done place the bins back to the specific folders (if you moved them that is).

Once you have all this ready, use what ever selfboot method you find most convinient for you.
