>>WHAT IS SCDTOOLZ???<<
SCDToolz is a program designed for Sega / Mega CD game collectionner.
SCDToolz can do the following :
- Retrieve BOOT info from Sega CD image files (RAW,BIN,ISO)
- Retrieve BOOT info from archives (ZIP) containing a Sega CD image.
- Can ouput a file (SCD_INFO.TXT) containing boot info.
- Can output a CUE sheet. This allow the burning and mounting of the image.
- Can rename the image, the folder and the MP3 accordingly to the database
info.
- Can mass rename a whole folder that contains many images or archives..
First of all, I made this program for me because of my interest in the Sega
/ Mega CD if you enjoy it then THANX GOD, it's my only vow. If you don't then
just leave me alone.

>>HOW TO HELP ME OUT :)<<
If you encounter Unknown company :
Note the given code. Open the image in an emulator and then
note the name of the company that shows during the intro. Send us the name
of the game + the code + company name :) and then the next release will contain
it.
If you encounter NOT IN DATABASE!:
Note the Reference ID + game name + TimeStamp then send them
to us by E-MAIL.
If you encounter Unknown IO Device:
Note the given code + the game name then send them to us by
E-MAIL.
If files are not renamed correctly (Name does not match):
Note the game name + CD Type entry + TimeStamp + Reference ID
and then send them to us by E-MAIL.
The more you give feedback the faster the completeness of SCDToolz will rise.
