Introduction
--------------
Waz up folkz? Well after spending some time, to figure
out how to boot up your own ripped games,and after some
people asked me how to do that, I ve decided to write a short
tutorial.Well i don t belong to any of those groups you can
find in the dc scene.The reason doing this, is that I only
want to show that it s not all to difficult to do that.
I ve tried this method only on few games, and this method
works also for some people. By this way special greetings
to sveny and ^ErAzOr^. Thanx guys being testers.Befor i start
a very special thanx is going out to murphy. He is the one that
brought me to this way.THANX A LOT!!! I hope you re gonna
code that nice tool ;)
Well okay, lets begin. First of all you need some stuff.Here
is a small checklist:
- you need a hexeditor
- you need the ECHELON selfbooting tutorial
(check out to get the version with audio.raw, binhack.exe
and ipins.exe)
- you need GD Rippng Toolkit
- serial upload slave disc
- a original GDRom
Now you got all the things you need.First of all, we have to
rip the GDRom. To do this, you need a DC< - >PC cable.It s not
all to hard to find some shops selling them.You can also build
one by yourself. Look for plans on several DCDev sites.
Now you have hooked up your DC to your PC. The next step, is
that the DC communicates with your PC. For this you have to use
the serial upload slave, and Terra Terminal. You can find a
Disc Juggler image of it in the rar file. Terra Terminal is in the
directory "Pc-Software" after you install GD Toolkit.
Ripping the data:
-----------------
1.Connect your DC on com 1 or 2 with the cable
2.Start TerraTerm,select the right com port
and put the serial upload disc inside the DC
3.Turn on your DC and wait, untill the borders around
the Sega logo turn into red. When you see the red
border serial upload is active
4.Then go to SETUP--->TERMINAL, and change Transmit
from CR to CR+LF
5.Then go to SETUP--->SERIAL PORT and set baud rate to 57600
and flow control to hardware. Now hit enter and you should
see a >
6.Select FILE--->SEND FILE and choose the dreamrip.srec file
from the Dreamrip directory. Now the file is being transfered
and you should see a lot of >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
When it stops, you see "please set 115k and hit o k"
Replace the serial upload disc with the original GDRom.
7.Select CONTROL--->MACRO and choose the dcrip.ttl file
from the DreamRip directory.Then select SETUP--->SERIAL PORT
and set the baud rate to 115200. Then hit the letter o then k
on your keyboard.Now a window pops up and you see the data being
transfered into your TerraTerm directory.Checkout to have enough
free space on your HD. The process takes up to 24 hours, so
go and play with your girlfriend :)
< ----------------------------------------------------------------------- >--- >
Make the games run:
-------------------
Now you have ripped the whole data from the GDRom. As you see,
some games are very big, and don t fit on normal cd or even
a 80 minutes blank.To fit the data you have to downsample
some files. You can find some tutorials on diffrent
DC sites. Keep your eyes open. Now you have fit the data,
and you want to burn it. Ok, now we need Cdrecord.
Now you have to burn the first session of the game.
To do this take a look at the Echelon selfboot tutorial.
Now you have burned the first session with the LBA
0,11702. Note down this number.
Now it s time for the part to hack the 1st_read.bin.
You have to do this,because Binhack doesn t modifies
the 1st_read complete.This is the reason that the people
can t get their games to work.
1. Open the 1st_read.bin with the hexeditor. You know
that the original GDRom starts from the LBA 45000.
But some people forgett that. You need space for the
ip.bin in the 1st_read.bin. Because of this we have now
the LBA 45150.
2. You got now the correct LBA. Transform the value into
a hex value. The right value is B05E. (45150=B05E)
But be carefull. The value is byte-swapped, and you
have to read it 5EB0.
3.Ok now lets search for that hex value in the 1st_read.bin.
Note down all offsets you find. There are always 2 offsets.
One offset for 5E, the other B0. Write both down, and
continue your search with F3. Maybe you will have
over 50 hits or even more, maybe you have only 4 or 5 hits.
It s from game to game diffrent.
4.To find the right one, isn t all too difficult.You always
have to change two offsets. That means,when you have 5
hits, you have to modify 2 of them. The right ones are
always near to each other. Here is a example I do with
the 1st_read.bin of DY.A.I.E C.P:
1. 234fe
234ff
2. 9a11c
9a11d
3. b3744 < ---
b3745 < ---
4. b3b14 < ---
b3b15 < ---
5. c28o8
c2809
5.Now you see those 4 offsets: b3744+b3745 and b3b14+b3b15
Remember 2 offsets are one value (b3744=5E)
(b3745=B0) (5E+B0). Okay now you only have to change these 4
offsets into 5E=96, B0=00.Right then save the file.
Now you have the modified 1st_read.bin. Now run Bihack
on the 1st_read.bin. After that put ip.bin + 1st_read.bin
into the folder where your game data is stored, and make a
iso. Take a look at the Echelon tutorial how to do that.
You got now a fixed data.iso. Run Ipins and patch the iso
with the ip.bin file from the data folder.
Then burn the last session. You know....take a look
at the Echelon tutorial :)
6.Well when you do it correctly, your game must boot up now.
This works very well with and without CDDA.
< ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >
Note:
-------
Ok, I ve tried only few games with this method, and i
got them all to work.Some people told me that it works
for them well too.Feel free to add things to this tutorial,
if i forgett something, or if you outhere got a better
method.
IMPORTANT:
don't distruibute ripped data. follow copyright law in your coun
"personal use" only. "personal use" means yourself, your family,
I know "mei english is not very good,my german is
better". LODDAR i luv ya. So thats all from my side.
Cu folkz.
