custom bios

[vincent]

Would like to flash the following custom bios on my dreamcast via Dreamshell:

Do I have to convert this bios in a special file, cause it's a bin file, whereas the bios of the dreamshell are recognized as "bios files" on my PC...cause of the ending bios?!
Or are they bin files too and i have just to add the ending bios?

The file extension is doesn't matter. All of this is a binary files. You can flash it.

how do i have to proceed to add this bios to the dreamshell ?

do i have to download "DreamShell 4.0 RC 3 + Boot Loader",
copy the bios to the "bios folder" and then create a cdi image of the DS folder (with or without loader)?

btw : with which utility/program i can create a cdi image?

thanks a lot swat

You have HDD or SD mod?

HDD mod...i think i know how to perform this with a hdd.

DS + Loader
exchange DS_Core with the modified one, which allows you to boot from hdd
put bios into the bios folder of DS

!?

but i would like to create a CD.

Just add your bios file to firmware/bios/sega or any other path on any device.
In application Bios Flasher you can browse all devices and any path's.
