Someone has reminded me that with GDI Explorer it wasn’t possible to extract boot file. So I’ve added this feature. Below, you can download a newer version.
Readme:
v1.1 fixed to v1.1.2 (2010/03/11) :
- Added: IP.BIN & IP0000.BIN extraction
- Added: Messagebox after extracting boot file or sorttxt.txt file.
- Added: newer version of GDI2CUE Converter (v1.3.0.1)
Note: I’ve included a newer version of gdi2cue converter (nothing amazing however)
Download link : here !
By the way, I’ve promised you to talk a little more about dreamcast “soft-reset” in order to boot retail games from you own program. Here is an extract of it :
_reset_call:
stc sr,r0
mov.l dc_sr_data,r1
and r1,r0
ldc r0,sr ! 0xdfffffff mask
mov.l dc_zero_data,r0
lds r0,mach
mov.l dc_other_data,r0 ! 0x28 ?? why sould we put this value ??
lds r0,macl
mov.l dc_zero_data,r0
lds r0,pr
mov.l dc_vbr_data,r0 ! 0x8c00f400 exception handler
ldc r0,vbr
mov.l dc_gbr_data,r0 ! 0x8c000000 base address
ldc r0,gbr
mov.l dc_spc_data,r0 ! 0xac010000 exec address
ldc r0,spc
mov.l dc_ssr_data,r0 ! 0x700000f0
ldc r0,ssr
mov.l gdGdcReset,r0 ! 0x8c0100a0 = gdGdcReset vector ? maybe :)
mov.l dc_sct_data,r1 ! 0x800 = 2048 sector mode
mov.l dc_sct_data,r2
mov.l dc_zero_data,r3
mov.l dc_zero_data,r4
mov.l dc_zero_data,r5
mov.l dc_zero_data,r6
mov.l dc_zero_data,r7
mov.l dc_zero_data,r8
mov.l dc_zero_data,r9
mov.l dc_zero_data,r10
mov.l dc_zero_data,r11
mov.l dc_zero_data,r12
mov.l dc_zero_data,r13
mov.l dc_zero_data,r14
mov.l dc_vbr_data,r15 ! 0x8c00f400 copy of exception handler vector

nop
Download reset_call ! Prior to calling reset_call(), and so executing an other program without reseting the system, you have to load the binary file in memory… just try it 🙂
So by now (I mean after my exams) I’ll focus on my gdlan boot loader…
