Creating a multi-game CDI?

[TheXboxArcade]

So I've been looking into putting a couple of Sonic Adventure 2 prototypes on a single CD-R for my Dreamcast, and currently am using Ginsu from the SEGA Smash Pack prototype to make the CD. In the ginsu ini file, I have something like this (after the required ginsu stuff in the ini):

[THETRIAL]
Ginsu.Path = \THETRIAL
Ginsu.Command = \THETRIAL\1ST_READ.BIN
Manifest.Name = "SA2 The Trial"

I've noticed that on CDIs like DreamApp that all of the files that get loaded are in one .BIN file (like Utopia Boot Disc is in a file called UTOPIA1.BIN).

Thus my question is: do you have to put all the game files (for each game) into a .BIN file and call that in ginsu (and how would I do this if so?), or is just calling 1ST_READ.BIN is enough for the game to boot and run on real hardware? (Alternatively, if there's a better way to create multi-game CDs then using ginsu, please let me know.)

Thanks in advance!

If you will use xfer (ginsu app loader) just add more game configuarations to load the games in the .ini file

To keep each game in a separate folder:

[THETRIAL]
Ginsu.Path = \THETRIAL
Ginsu.Command = \THETRIAL\1ST_READ.BIN
Manifest.Name = "SA2 The Trial"

[THETRIAL123]
Ginsu.Path = \THETRIAL123
Ginsu.Command = \THETRIAL123\1ST_READ.BIN
Manifest.Name = "SA2 The Trial 123"

[SONICDEMO]
Ginsu.Path = \SONICDEMO
Ginsu.Command = \SONICDEMO\1ST_READ.BIN
Manifest.Name = "SONICDEMO"

Also respect any left over space in the ini between game configurations and at the end of the file (generally a single empty text line).

Ginsu can be the easiest best choice to load diferent games, is simple, require very little configuration, and dont have a bunch of extra required files to work allowing you to have a clean disc structure and more espace for game files.

you can use dream passport, ODCM, dreamON, ginsu, Generator, DreamExpress, and dream inducer to make a multi game cdi. dorimaga might be possible as well. planetweb/dreamkey should work too.
