--==Creating your N64 GCM==--

Open GC-Tool and open the .gcm file included with the N64 Emulator.

Now, use the menu on the right side of GC-Tool to replace the file zelda2p.n64 with your rom file by using the Right Click.

Select the Rom you want to inject

When it asks you to change the filesize in the TOC, say No.

Now you have a .gcm file with the chosen rom inserted into the emulator.

 

--==Hex Editing your File Name==--

This step is optional but recommended

To edit the gcm image name to make it easier to choose the rom in GCOS, open your hex editor and choose the gcm file. Set the hex editor to ASCII mode and find the title of the image file.

Now replace the default title with the name of your rom.

 

Repeat steps 1 & 2 untill you have all your GCM files created for each diffrent rom

 

--==Creating Your Multidisc Selfboot Image==--

Once you have a collection of gcms with different roms inserted, you are ready to make a multigame boot disc. Move all your gcm files to the same directory as the make-multiv2.exe program.

Open a dos command prompt and type the following in the same directory as the exe.

make-multiv2.exe output.iso USA game1.gcm game2.gcm etc

Make sure to specify your region.

Once complete your should have your ISO

Now burn your image with your Burner and Software of choice.

--==Notes==--

Note about compatible roms:
Since this uses the Zelda emulator contained on the Masterquest disc, only certain roms will function correctly after they are inserted.

Confirmed working by Icetoad:
Mario 64 - perfect w/ save functionality (takes a while to make the save file, just wait and it will go)
Mace: The Dark Ages - perfect
Star Soldier - perfect
Wave Race - perfect
Pilot Wings - some graphical glitches, save functionality
Duke Nukem 64 - perfect
Star Fox 64 - perfect
Kirby 64 - no audio
Mario Kart 64 - some small graphics and sound glitches, save functionality
Majora's Mask - patched first, works perfect w/ save functionality
Masterquest - very minor glitches, no luck with saving so far
Ocarina of Time - perfect w/ save functionality

The following are games which have been mentioned on other sites as working, but which still gave me problems.
Banjo Kazooie - doesn't load
Blast Corps - doesn't load
NHL 99 - doesn't load
Body Harvest - doesn't load
International Superstar Soccer 98 - freezes when entering game
Hercules: The Legendary Journey - doesn't load

Apparently some of these need to be patched before they will work.
