Ok,my questions are these as i finally found this thread and tutorial and it got me the furthest but i still have some questions. I wanted to hack the music and have spent a few days and nights no no avail in getting a working image,i have scoured the net trying to fix missing gaps in tutorials that dont explain some things clearly or not at all,one of the main questions i had when following many tutorials was that when i use cdrip,i would end up with 2 bin files and 2 cues,right away it left me lost as to compiling (would i leave out s01t01.bin as it's the smaller iso with less data ?) i tried this and ended up with either hang at sega logo or cd player. After doing so, each game should be available from the main menu:įor quick testing, or for integrating with a frontend such as Launchbox, it's often desirable to run a game directly from the command line.Hi,i joined just so i could ask for some help with compiling an already selfboot cdi of msr Navigate to Library -> Add Directory to add a directory containing valid game(s) to the library. If hard drive space is an issue, it's recommended to convert GDI images to the CHD format which provides lossless compression of the original game without altering its integrity.

When the games are modified to fit on a CD-ROM, the audio and video are often compressed, the code is modified (sometimes resulting in crashes even on real hardware) and the metadata stored on each disc which is used to provide cover art and cheats inside Redream is altered.Īs a result of these modifications, CDI images can sometimes be less than 100 MB in size, In contrast, since each GD-ROM was 1 GB in size, GDI and BIN/CUE images will always be 1 GB in size as they are exact copies of the original game. However, not all images are created equal and we strongly advise against using CDI images.ĬDI images take the original 1 GB GD-ROM and modify it to fit on a ~700 MB CD-ROM in order to be burned and used on a real Dreamcast. Redream supports any GDI, BIN/CUE, CHD or CDI disc image. How do I run games? What formats are supported?
