Head over to http://dcfactory.cjb.net/ and download the DCFactory. Next download the plain DreamSnes (or any emulator) files from www.dcemulation.com and follow the programs script through, the script is very easy to follow, just like installing a program.

Ok, hmm first did you directly download the program from the main page? if so goto http://krypt.dyndns.org:81/dcfactory/download.phtml theres a big message saying that something else needs to be installed first, so your best bet is to try that.

If that dont work post back your specs (ie. what os your using) and ill try and help some more, but try what it says on the site first.

ok fire up the program.

1. Click on the 'tasks' button.
2. Select Dreamsnes.
3. If you havent already downloaded the plain files version then click on 'download', or if you have already downloaded the plain files then click on 'perform task'
4. Follow the wizard.

[dpaddict]

ok im not sure what the problem here is, the only suggestion i can make is to check that your roms are all correct. You could try using a romlist.

Head over to http://www.consolevision.com/dreamcast/dreamsnes.shtml
and download RomList Creator.
Once youve downloaded that use that program to create a rom list and put that in your roms directory, and make sure that theres only roms and the romlist.lst (or whatever its called) file in the roms folder.
