Info help back-up MIL-CD

My hope is in the future, people will use the new openMenu with Card Manager for SD Card creation. No artwork in the image, no problem - add it to the DAT files with the DAT Editor app - thereby, bypassing the need of the extract/rebuild scenario.

can some1 extract the ip.bin from heartbreak diary mil-cd?

why? do you ask?
to compare it to the modified ip.bin that is used in the miltemp folder of the leaked bleem beta.
with a true copy of the heartbreak diary ip.bin, we can actually see all of the data that was modified to allow the bleem betas (all colors) to run on specific color dreamcast consoles.

the last time i messed with it, i simply copied all of the hex to the same file size of original ip.bin.
at that time some of the newer dc tools did not exist, that would allow extracting the dumped official mil-cd's.

either way it would be cool to document the actual modifications that were made to the bleem betas ip.bin to allow them to be tested.

the ultimate end goal would be to document how the bleem beta was cracked, but i doubt within my lifetime any1 will ever accomplish this.

These are available via redump images.

If you want the og dumps let me know since I own these physically and made the redump dumps
