Self boot question? Wince

Thanks Wayne for the quick response. Will I still need to burn the audio track for the non-selfboot cd. Also do I still need to insert ip.bin into the begining of the iso file or do I just copy it over to the data directory along with firstread.bin and then make an iso file.
I have read that for newer playstations you will want to burn the audio track last instead of first. Does this make any difference.

No, you are only interested in the actual files in the data directory if you're burning a NON-BOOTER. You don't patch any files into the ISO file because you really don't absolutely need to create an ISO before burning the files. I've made a NON-BOOTER using Roxio (Adaptec) Easy CD-Creator. Just have to be sure to burn Mode-2, CDROM-XA and close the session and possibly the disc (use DISC AT ONCE if possible, or SESSION AT ONCE if DAO isn't available on your burner & software).

By the way, in your last statement, I think you meant "Dreamcasts", not "Playstations".

In theory (I've never done this because I have a June-2000 DC), you can use MKISOFS.EXE to create the ISO with 0,0 offset, and then use BIN2BOOT to create a .CDI file that when burned with Disc Juggler, should work on newer Dreamcast machines. I've never done this so I cannot vouch for it's factual nature.
