However some games requires to be in the root to load properly (for example all WinCE games). Loading issues happens because while creating multi game disk every game is placed to its own folder so no files with the same name overlaps. If some games doesn't boot within DreamOn boot menu (always check it on emulator before burning to CD-R) but still they loads fine as standalone game (converted to Data/Data) the following should do the trick:Īnd answer yes (y) for evetry game which doesn't boot when prompted with a question like "Put !gameName! to the root?".Īnswer No (n) for games which boots fine within DreamOn boot menu.
