The 1ST_READ.BIN Checker is a tool that checks a Dreamcast binary file and reports if it's an unscrambled BIN, scrambled BIN, ELF, or SREC binary. It also serves as a front-end to convert files from ELF formats to binary formats. It uses scramble by Marcus Comstedt to scramble or descramble binaries and sh-elf-objcopy to convert ELFs into binaries.

There also is a command line version available that is written in C. There are binaries for the current version, 0.1, for Windows and Linux. The source code is also available. Mac users can compile 0.1 themselves or use the [1] original vb2c release binary.
