Mac Dream Tool 3 Released

I. M. Weasel’s excellent Dreamcast Selfboot Inducer/disc creation application for the Macintosh has received an update.

This current version is version 3.0.57. It has so many updates to it, its hard to list them all…

Thanks to damadfiddler, signofzeta & retrogeeks for beta testing. Please report any bugs to the email address contained in the readme file. Or post them here.

Version 3 Update Notes:

Inducer updates

  • Added Inducer theme addition, Theme Files identified with same icon as original SBI files
  • Removed ‘Done’ dialog boxes, Using audio notification instead
  • Added sbi 4.0 zip comment support
  • SBI list auto-resizes results, prevents renaming /reordering of tabs

Features

  • Drop Down ‘Console’ Menu with psuedo console for mkisofs/isofix, added De/Scrambling support and a emergency clean option.
  • Integrated Tools folder into main bundle
  • SBI-2-SB now uses the main Inducer folder
  • Isos get renamed burn 1st & 2nd,and moved to desktop instead of home
  • Added error check for requested file type in several features
  • Selfbooter – New layout & simplification of features
  • More & better error handling

Bug Fixes

  • Second instances of MDT will no longer launch under certain circumstances.

P.S. – This version is also known (by me) and somewhat labeled as version ‘UO’. Which , stupidly, stands for ‘Unix Overdrive’. Half of the code was re-written into unix script, to make it harder, faster, stronger & better. Well thats it, this will pretty much be the last version of MDT. But i wont completely stop working on it till i’ve implemented cdrecord/cdrecord support. Thanks again for supporting the DC scene everyone!
