utilized the files from megavolt and with a bit of hacking we got it to work with castlevania sotn. (glitchy but i did get to play)

I did not create this hack/process i'm just sharing - credit goes to megavolt85 from dreamcasttalk

From any archive do the following (rc helicopter base) https://mega.nz/fc30bc70-3dc8-4588-b8fe-f9d72eadd478

• From a currently working psx/bleem (xena for example) - > copy disc.gdi, track01.bin, track02.raw, track03.bin to new folder
  
  Unpack psx game from archive should = .bin and .cue file
  
  copy gametitle .bin file to folder with gdi, bin, raw files and rename to track04.bin
  
  Cover art will be wrong at first - working on a fix as it requires programming to fix cover art at this time

Tested this with Xena, rchelicopter, and CSOT

You mean we can run others psx game with bleem! on dreamshell ?

yes, but so far there is no way to change the cover and there is no CDDA support

MastaG posted this on a Genesis emulation page (gens4all). I think the majority of releases (not bleem in the previous post) require this to be done if they originally were released as CDI. Goals are to have retrodream/dreamshell boot all emulators off the SSD/HD. Full cover art for GDI dumps with script that converts them for you (already posted here). I know Ian did some of this work and released a xmas cdi however it currently does not work for HD launching

Emulators:
- NeoGeo4all
- Mame4all
- sega master system (completed)
- nintendo (completed) (note: incomplete rom set)
- genesis (completed)
- supernintendo (partially completed) (incomplete rom set)

GDI dumps:
- All GDI with cover art + video (completed)

I do need the linux tools in order to test. If anyone has this easily available that would be greatly appreciated otherwise I will begin the great hunt for the linux variants as windows tools don't seem to be working very well.

EXAMPLE to run on cdi dumps to fix the sd -> ssd/hd launching:

For compatibility with IDE (HDD/CF) you'll need to:
- Unscramble the boot binary (usually 1ST_READ.BIN)
- Hex patch the boot binary and replace: E4745FA0 with: EC745FA0
In Linux I usually just do: sed -i 's/\xE4\x74\x5F\xA0/\xEC\x74\x5F\xA0/g' 1ST_READ.BIN
- Make sure to append the bootloader (IP.BIN) when building with mkisofs and use LBA 0
mkisofs -C 0,0 -V Gens4All -G IP.BIN -rock -l -o gens4all.iso gens4all_directory
