An idea about game image for SDL

[ms18e]

Hi SWAT, in current SDL image creating flow, we have to extrace all data of the game, hack LBA of the main BIN file, and create an iso image using mkisofs.exe.

It's a little bit complicated, costing longer time creating the image and, sometimes binhack/dahack would not work properly. Now I have an idea: why not just skip the hacking step, and run game iso with an optional "session 2 start LBA" check box or command line parameter? If so, dumped GD images could be executed directly by SDL without extracting, hacking and re-creating. Maybe it's not applicable for the architecture of Dreamcast, I'm not sure.

Furthermore, why do we have to rename the main BIN file to 1ST_READ.BIN and make an iso? If variable file names are supported, it will be more convenient: we don't need to rename it and modify IP.BIN any longer!

It's easier said than don. I wish they're easy to implement, and won't take you too much time, thanks
