After that it calls binhack (ip/1stread LBA 0).

Then it does mkisofs ... into an iso file.

For me it's ok to create a few isos for my sd card. Better results as doing it by hand.

Sorry.

U know I am a bloody noob.

EEDDIITT: Is there any Emu out there, that can start iso instead of cdi or gdi? I'm hacking some HTML stuff in my Dreamkey 1.5. So I don't need to copy Iso to sdcard all the time....


No because the ISO format is incompatible with what the dreamcast needs. ISO stores single session either audio or data.

You might be able to get away with bin/cue and mounting it then using an emulAtor. There is also many tools for Creating selfboot CDIs. Maybe throw a shout-out also to "itsthinkingstill" he was working on a similar project
