Boards arrived yesterday, got Dai Ou Jou Black Label up and running now!
My apologies for not digging through this entire thread, but is there any way to get White Label working? The "Old Version" selection at bootup
does not work, and crashes after the region warning screen.
EDIT:
Just after posting this I found
this post in the PGM Conversion Info thread, and lo and behold, putting coins in and mashing Start during the region warning does indeed work! However, if the game ever hits the 'attract mode', it crashes immediately.
So it is possible to play
credits of White Label, it's just very awkward to set up and use. I'd still love any advice on a better way to do this.
Original post continued below:
It occurs to me now looking at the file names -
The output from the rom generator tool a creates few different P1 files:
ddp3_p1_amb.bin
ddp3_p1_bl.bin
ddp3_p1_dual.bin
The main advice I have seen is to use the
ddp3_p1_dual.bin
file as the program data, but after seeing that there is one that seems to be specific to Black Label (
ddp3_p1_bl.bin
) does that mean that the other one is specific to White Label (
ddp3_p1_amb.bin
)?
I'd be happy to make another ROM just for White Label, but I'd really like to be able to play it.
Thanks
@Fluffy and others who've contributed to this thread and the knowledge base around this project, been very fun to work with so far.
Just assembling all the stuff to build a DP3 Dual Boot. In case anyone else is searching around, I think this is how you do it (or at least here's how I'm going to try, and I'll edit when it works!)
stand alone bios:
PGM Diag/Test BIOS
pgm program files:
Any PGM Conversion info out there?
ddpdojblkbl.zip: can't share the link but you should be able to find it. you want the non-merged version so it has all the files inside (md5 09352efbcd60713f38af7d47401535d5)
unpack the bios file to the same directory as your ddp zip and your pgm program files zip.
command:
python rom_gen.py -b "pgm_bios_single_pcb_vxxxJP.u42" "PGM Program Files.zip"
(this creates patched program rom files for all the games with the upgraded motherboard bios)
then command:
python rom_gen.py ddpdojblkbl.zip
(creates all the other roms)
then use all the files in the ddp_rg folder for a1/a2/a3/a4/b1/b2/t1/t2/m1, but for P1 use: ddp3_p1_dual_qb.bin
also use
PGM_RG_U5_QB.jed
PGM_RG_U6.jed
Just wanted to mention that this advice was excellent, and was what ultimately got my Dai Ou Jou cart working. Thanks also to
@bodgit for mentioning it recently and drawing it to my attention.
