that was cool DeGamer!!
And can you list out emulator that support cdr swapping?(cause u've tried)
i don't know about others but cdr swapping is the best feature for dcemu to me.(beside speed, sound and graphics)

cdr swapping:yes
=burn all best roms with emulator test out then + more 2nd best roms on
a cdr later.

=can use the same cdr for every emulator with all the best rom for every of them.

with demomenu selfboot = one cd with all dc emulators + 1 cd with all the best roms (favorite roms) for every emulator.

=gypplay v2.0 will be the best media pro for dc!!

i hope that diff demumenu will support wince & so on... that way every single emu available for dc can boot on the same disc.

thanks everyone for all answers!!

Running WinCE apps with Demomenu

Post by dimeotane »

Dunno if this will help but there's a program which will convert 0WINCEOS.BIN to 1st_read.bin

http://jodules.free.fr/DC_Tools/0WINCEO ... .BIN10.zip



It would be wonderful to run the wince programs along with my emulators on one disc. I hate burning :roll: 30 meg discs. Once CD should be enough to hold everything!

All the emus that I tried (Except DreamPac) you can swap CDs to play games (As long as you do it when you are supposed to).

Solid Snake wrote: Besides Dream-O-Rama and MAME, do all the other roms need to be unziped?
Dream-O-Rama games do NOT need to be zipped. As far as I know MAME DC and MAMED! DC are the only emus that need the games to be zipped. I am not sure about DreamMSX though.

Hey your ICQ number is not working. Click on mine next to my PM and add me to your ICQ list.

Well, I can easily make one but I would need some one to host/put it on their website.
Oh, no. NO! You can't do this to me. Don't give me a playstation. NOOOOOOOOOO! I don't want a piece of crap. Take it back and burn it to heeelll!!! Die Sony Computer Entertainment with you PS (Piece of Sh?t) and your PS 2 (Piece of Sh?t?2)

Just use this: http://www.emuburn.8m.com

Just download that .exe and run it. It has a little explanation to it and I think the new one has an example or something. It's easy, and includes dssbs so it makes an image.

The readme file in Demo Menu might be too difficult for newbiews.
I think definately a newbie guide would help. I would write one as long as someone will put it up on their site. I helped Solid Snake put several emus on a CD.

The only thing that bugs me is that he was not able to get DreamSNES and Ngine SNES9X to work on Demo Menu. Then I decided to send him the files that I have and it still did not work for him. I tried it myself twice and the files I have work fine for me. I wonder what happened. :?: :?: :?:

Um, you need to scramble some bins to run them correctly with demomenu. Try using both the 'normal' .bin from the plain files release, and a scrambled one as well both on the disk (ie have one file called SMEG.bin (the unscrambled one) another (scrambled) called scrmbldSMEG.bin)

Chances are one of them will work correctly. The just remember which one is the 'correct' one and select it every time, or in furutre if you're doing it again just use the one that worked.

Actually, they all need to be scrambled but I think the ones that did not work were not scrambled. But then again the DReamSNES that works for me did not work for Solid Snake ( I sent him the one I had).

I'll scramble the ones that did not work and try again.

Commercial games don't work with Demo Menu nor WinCE apps. I tried Boobboy and Sintendo with 0WINCEOS.BIN to 1st_read.bin and it did not work.

You can try all you want but there is NO WAY commercial games will work with Demo Menu.

DCGrendal wrote it that way deliberately. He didn't want lamers to start producing multi game Warez discs.

Please don't ask about commercial games Timefun. There is a way of putting multiple commercial games and WInCE apps on one disk, but that too is warez. So don't even ask.

That information is incorrect. You have to *add* code to make Katana and/or Windows CE work on the loader. He was originally going to do it, then he asked himself "why?" and cancelled Katana/WinCE support. Then he cancelled the project altogether shortly later.
