This tutorial was written by Matisfaction to explain how to use I.M.Weasel’s MacDreamTool utility. This guide was intended to explain how to use v1.2 of MDT, but should be rather helpful in using MDT v2, as well. Very little has changed, fundamentally, between v1.2 and v2.

A Guide Created by JT Newman

JT Newman has put together a nice user’s manual for all Macintosh users. This guide goes through many different processes that a Macintosh user might need to understand in order to get things working on their Dreamcast.

Note: This tutorial was written by JTNewman around 2005, and has not been updated since then. Some of the more obvious broken links have been fixed, but there are still more than likely quite a few broken links included in the tutorial (for instance, the entire section about SBIffy!com). Please realize that we did not write this tutorial, and that we have no way of verifying the information contained within. Read the rest of this entry »

• MacDreamTool 4 – Changelog since v3:
  • The ‘Selfboot’ Tab has been removed. A new Menu ‘Selfboot” has been added. It has replaced the console menu. Selfbooting ‘Plain files’ can now only be done from that Menu.
  • Adding an MR image to a Plain Files folder is now done via the menu
  • Slimmed Code
  • Removed mkisofs & isofix free usage from console menu (sorry)
  • Size/Theme/MR info collected on boot will not get wrongly changed by the next button click
  • Removed unneeded path defining (caused slow-down)
  • Changed binary handling in Inducer
  • Adding a .sbi File can now be done via the File Menu, or by the shortcut Apple-F
  • Inducer Folders size gets read on booting
  • Theme addition checks in case Inducer was made into sbi2sb – to prevent errors
  • Boot read now checks if last MDT session was made into a selfbooting sbi
  • Boot read sets up comment list, to prevent miss-numbering
  • on clicked “Make iso’s” Removed check for added files, files added in last usage wouldnt count, and be unable to burn
  • drag& drop now accepts folders
  • on click file&folder,addDrop() – smart error knows when files are trying to overwrite folders or vice versa
  • Reads MM.dxl when launching
  • Removed sbi2SB Tab, Script. Built sbi-2-sb into Mac Inducer, will now selfboot automatically if one sbi added.
• MacDreamTool 2.1.3 – This version removed the dummy file creation, due to some bugs that IM has yet to fix.
• MacDreamTool 2.1 – This is another new update of IM Weasel’s fantastic MacDreamTool. This version includes two bug-fixes from the previous version, and allows optional dummy file creation.
• MacDreamTool 1.2 – This is version 1.2 of I.M. Weasel’s “Mac Dream Tool”. Mac Dream Tool is a port of burnerO’s Selfboot Inducer. This version of Mac Dream Tool is based loosely off of Selfboot Inducer v3, but I.M. Weasel is currently working on a port of SBInducer v4.
• DummyCreator 2 – This proggie will create a dummy file for you. This proggie, along with all of I.M. Weasel’s apps, is for use on the Macintosh (all of them also seem to be created for OS X).
• MKISOFS (PreC) – This is a build of Mkisofs for use on the Mac OS X.
