Informations

Category description :

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS PROGGY IS IN BETA STAGE ONLY !

What's that

MDS4DC is a tool written in order to generate a REAL valid Alcohol 120% "Media Descriptor" selfboot image (MDF/MDS) from an ISO with the possibility to add custom RAW audio tracks.

Features : With this, creating Dreamcast CD-R's really easy, you have no excuses now !

DISCLAMER : THIS TOOL DOESN'T WORK WITH KATANA OR WINDOWS CE EXECUTABLES. I DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT IT SO PLEASE DON'T ASK, THANKS.


How to use it

You only need mkisofs from cdrtools.
Audio/Data images (no custom CD-DA)
Just generate your iso with the same command as the Marcus tutorial (please note the -G switch to insert the IP.BIN in the iso).
mkisofs -C 0,11702 -V YOUR_VOLUME_NAME -G IP.BIN -joliet -rock -l -o YOUR_ISO.ISO YOUR_SOURCE_DIRECTORY

Then, you can use mds4dc. Type this command :
mds4dc -a OUTPUT.MDS YOUR_ISO.iso

Done !
Audio/Data images (with custom CD-DA)

Please note that Audio tracks are in RAW format, *NOT* WAV !

First, you must calculate the MSINFO (LBA) value from your RAW audio tracks for your data track. For that, you can use the lbacalc proggy inside this package.

Example :
lbacalc track1.raw track2.raw track3.raw

The proggy shows you a value (for example) : 12696. This's your data track MSINFO.
Now, generate your iso with mkisofs :
mkisofs -C 0,12696 -V YOUR_VOLUME_NAME -G IP.BIN -joliet -rock -l -o YOUR_ISO.ISO YOUR_SOURCE_DIRECTORY

Then use mds4dc :
mds4dc -c OUTPUT.MDS YOUR_ISO.iso track1.raw track2.raw track3.raw

Done !
Data/Data images
mkisofs -V YOUR_VOLUME_NAME -G IP.BIN -joliet -rock -l -o YOUR_ISO.ISO YOUR_SOURCE_DIRECTORY

mds4dc -d OUTPUT.MDS YOUR_ISO.ISO
