Help making an old game self boot?

Post by gamehistorian »

Hi! First poster here.

Back in my early ages of DC modding in 99 and 2002, I think there was this dcblap game or something you could fork and create your own pong game. I created something called skypong that I want to see again, but I cant get the files to self boot. I think I burned 26 coasters trying to get the camera angle right. This was pretty much the days when PCs couldnt emulate DC stuff and before people figured out self boot.

I think I used the boot disc to generate this. I tried a few things like bootdreams and some other command line stuff, but it just doesnt boot.

I recently converted my cd reader to a GDEmu reader and I have a huge release to be putting on archive.org which I think is well put together and have tested everything, is that ok to "provide search criteria" for people to go to archive.org when that is available considering it may have typical releases in it?

If anyone can make this self boot, boot dreams didnt work for me.

I'd appreciate the help or advise on what to use with these files to get the old crappy demo game to boot.

This game is not working, testing on the flycast and gdemu emulator (clone).
