User Tools/Utilities(Ordered by release date.)Many games/tools are only released in 'plain files' format (elf/srec/bin). These can either be transferred to the dreamcast via serial cable/bba/lan or by making them into a self-bootable cd. This can be done using one of a variety of self-boot toolkits that are available. Go to our forums to request any further help you may need.Any discjuggler / nero images distributed may just be burnt directly to cd (using discjuggler/nero) and they should boot up without problems (or any swapping needed) on a dreamcast. Anyone with the skills to make (and test) dj/nrg images, feel free to help out and send in any 'missing' images.
