uh, not really cloud
for most of the emus (most, not all), you can burn a disc that is both bootable AND contains roms (####. tried to refrain self from saying that god-forsaken forbidden "r" word....)
then again, nothing about emu's right? its just that i cant mention any illegally obtained softwares...
*looks to the right, then looks to the left*
anyway, head to
www.dcemulation.com or boob's site for info.. beware tho, the ppl at dcemulation's forums have grown really hostile lately.
anyway, for most of the emulators, most authors post the emulators in binary forms. binary form is THE bare-bone format. i.e. if the emul uses Microsoft's WinCE lib, chances are it's not included and u have to find it on your own; the file is NOT BOOT-ABLE. if they are nice enough, they will post the same file in DiscJuggler/Nero format so you wont have to use that *illegal* utopia bootdisc (oh no, of course i would know anything about it X_X).
so you're left with TWO options.
1. burn the binary on one disc, burn utopia on one disc (to boot the emu), and burn the...files that start with letter r on one disc. this is probably the least complicated way.
or, the LEGAL way,
2. get the emu on the binary form. extract the binary using one of them ISO proggies. edit ip.bin to your heart's content; have fun with it. follow the steps on the emu's site on how to add your **legally-obtained** roms (usually under the
oms directory). if the emu uses MS's WinCE lib, add that to the corresponding directory. compile the files into single binary. then add dummy-file to make emu boot a LOT faster. use bin2cdi.exe to **legally** make it self-boot-able. burn it using DiscJuggler OR nero, after doing cdi2nero.exe
it looks a little complicated at first, but it's really not
####. i hope i dont get banned from this forum. remember, i tried (hard) to minimize the usage of the forbidden 'r' word AND almost everything on my how-to is legal, except where otherwise noted. have fun;_)
