The tutorial is also awailable in a few other formats:
Requirements:
: An incompatibility with older Windows versions exists in the installer script. If you use Windows 98 or Windows ME you need to download a temporary workaround until I get time to write a better installer. Download 98installer-patch.zip (2KiB) and read the instructions enclused in the archive.
Note: The pictures for this tutorial is taken from a Windows XP session, so the image borders might look different from what you are used to on your Win98, NT or other installation.
Let's get on with it then:
1.5. If you are using Windows 98 or Windows ME you need to download 98installer-patch.zip (2KiB) and read the enclosed instructions.
This will start the installation of Pike (the language the installer is written in).
Have patience, it can take a few minutes. Up to ten or fifteen minutes if you have a
slow computer or slow disks.
When the application is finished upgrading and testing your system (should only take a few seconds) it will show you the "Basic setup" tab.
Note: If the program is unable to detect any CD-writers then your windows installation lacks contain working ATPI-drivers. You can fix that by downloading the ASPI Layer Fixer from http://www.dcemulation.com/neededtools.htm. Apply the fix, reboot, and then start the DreamSNES installer again.
(You could optionally choose the "NERO image file" entry. That would produce a CD image that can be burned with Aheads CD burner software "NERO". Use this only if for some reason the CD burner software included in the installer in unable to burn on your CD burner hardware.)
A small requester will ask you if you really want to add all ROMs in that directory.
Click on "Yes".
Change the name in the requester that pops up...
... then press "OK" and repeat with other ROMs until you are satisfied.
When the downloading is finished the burning will start, first
with an audio track...
...and then the real data...
After 100% has been reached it will take some time to empty the buffers and fixate the CD-R, so there will be an extra minute or two of waiting after 100% has been reached.
