Running SMS Off of a CD-R

I'm trying to figure out how to burn SMS (Simple Media System) to a CD-R and run it from that. All I have is the SMS ELF file, and from what I've read I have to create a SYSTEM.CNF file.
Can I create the SYSTEM.CNF file in notepad?
Would this be the correct strings to put in it:
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SMS VERSION 1.5 (REV.2).ELF;1
VER = 1.5 REV.2
VMODE = PAL/NTSC
SMS Version 1.5 (Rev.2).elf is the ELF file that I have, so do I just need to burn this .ELF and the SYSTEM.CNF file to a CD-R, or am I going to need anything else?

no it won't change the elf name to 8.3 standard (ISO9660) or the ps2 won't recognise it also VER must be something like x.x put 1.0 or 1.1
then VMODE put only one not two VMODE = PAL or VMODE = NTSC
build the disc with cdgen ps2 and edit from there the system.cnf to fix the lba to 12231 or you must add some dummies to the disc

I forgot, I found a readme that talked about burning an SMS CD as a music CD so it could read on any PS2 even without a mod chip. Can this be done yet?

You can burn media as an audio cd so you can watch it on an unmodded console (provided you have other means of actually starting the app).
But you wouldnt be able to buen the application onto a cd in this way to boot on regular consoles.

Would launchelf or other programs be able to read a cd like this?

As yet there is no support for the CDDAFS filesystem in LaunchELF.
It is one of many planned additions, but we haven't gotten around to this one yet...
