DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES I MADE:
Here is a little help for those of you getting ready to make your own ROM. Follow the directions in the first post.
- The .NBA file you create is cut from the first directory. It must be in the second directory when you create the dump. It must also be in that same directory when you put the dump back into the .NBA file. You might get busy and move it. The dump into NBA program will run without the .NBA file in the directory, but you will just waste your time if the file is not there. After the dump to .NBA program runs, you WILL NOT see any changes in the .NBA file (date modified, or size), but the dump has been placed in there.
- The .HV actions gave me the biggest problems. The first time you make an .HV, a boot.rgu will be created. It does not belong in the .HV directory. The next time you run the make .HV if there is a boot.rgu in the directory, it will mess up your default.hv. It will give you a very small default.hv 68K vs 700K or so. Also if you are making a ROM with .NET 2.0, the hv to txt program will not formt correctly. You will need to edit the NET 2.0 entries from @="\Windows to @="\\Windows.
I hope this info saves someone a day or two of work.
