    Just making sure... to play .DOL files on a Viper GCN, all I have to do is burn it? AS A DATA DISC? Is this correct? I don't have a Broadband Adapter and I'm not going to buy one, so I can't stream. So I can burn multiple .DOLs onto the data disc and then enter them from Disc Explorer and select which one I want to play, and it should work, yes?

    Thanks a lot,

    i think you have to fill up the DVD to at least 1.3 Gb or else the DVD will stop spinning in the BIOS.

    You can fill up the DVD with anyting, not just .dol's. MP3 files or DLL files will work fine to fill up with.

    Okay... and if I separate the DOLs by category into folders, and then put all of the garbage/filler data into a separate folder, I'll be able to navigate the folders, right? The Disc Explorer will use the same filesystem?

    Can Viper GCN with Cobra BIOS 1.1 properly load the .DOL files from the disc? And once again, just to make sure... I just burn a regular data DVD? And I can make my own folders, and everything?

    Cobra uses the 9660 file system as well, so yes, you can make your own folders. Be sure to uncheck joilet.

    Whew, that was quick... thanks. I've heard of problems with the Viper GC loading .DOL files... I'll burn it and report whatever I find sometime.

    Well, I was going to burn some GBA and SNES games, but I deleted my SNES .DOL files (thinking I had backed them up somewhere) because I'm a dumbass. And the site where I got them from no longer exists. So I'm going to have to make my own SNES .DOL files, one by one, or search for a new set... either way I'll have to put this off, I'm not doing it tonight.

    all .dol files aren't playable with cobra. I have tested to burn some SNES .dol files but the screen only turned into pink when the dol was loaded.

    Uhhmmm... okay, well, hopefully they'll fix that later. They do know about the issue, right?
