thanks for the positivity ya'll.
I will get around to uploading everything within a day or so.
The amount of rl crap I have to do today completely sucks.
I might not be able to get all of the things done that I need to today. :(

But, I have a few ideas to add to this bleemcast script.
Basically putting everything together for ppl that are new to creating bleemcast selfboots, psx iso ripping, burning cdr with open session, etc.

posted the Bleem!Cast SelfBoot Script64 in the downloads section:

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=12193

In the future we can test various virtual drives to see if we can find a compatible one that will work and not give msinfo errors. I have tried 3 so far and had no luck. :(

The virtual drive needs to:
work in a 64bit OS
allow use of .cue files
not give errors with msinfo

to test virtual drives, install wnaspi32.dll to SysWOW64 folder, run scanbus to see if it shows on list, then try -msinfo/ if it does not show errors then we have a compatible drive we can use.

if we find a compatible virtual drive, then we can easily make a new script to build a selfboot bleemed .cdi without ever needing to burn cd'r's...
If this ever happens, I will create a few different selfboot packs with psx ripping tools and other useful bleem! stuff.

He thought that the selfboot script was more than it actually is.
I explained that it simply allows a full psx game and the beta bleem binary all on one disk.
Idk maybe he will post here again?
Who knows? lol
maybe it was an authentic post?

Do I have to have a high post count in order to see the download link?
