Python installed OR python39.dll in the executable folder.

How to use:

Open the program and locate IP.bin in /bootsector folder, it will patch + create a backup copy.

Q&A

  • How to extract a Naomi CHD in .GDI?
  1. Use Chdman to uncompress a Naomi CHD into .GDI (example chdman.exe extractcd -i GDS-0008.chd monkeyball.gdi )
  2. Copy all Extracted tracks + GDI on a single folder
  3. Drag folder on Extract GDI Image.bat ( Rebuild GDI's v1.2 program ) and it will create a "GAME-Extracted" folder where you'll find the actual binary files.
  • How to rebuild a .GDI in CHD?

  2. Drag the "GAME-Extracted" folder on Build GDI Image.bat, and it will rebuild the gdi automatically
  3. Recompress the gdi with (example chdman.exe createcd -i monkeyball.GDI -o GDS-0008.CHD
  • I cannot see the game data in game binary!

Naomi GD roms does not use a filesystem akin to DC, all game resources are usually packed into a huge binary file with decryption on top. You can decrypt/encrypt the binary by using GD-Rom explorerproviding the appropriate DES key.
