Dreamcast burner question

Post by ShadicChao »

Ive been trying to play a burned copy of power stones 2 (mines all scratched up)Ive been putting in the utopia then i put in the burned copy but after that a chrome reinder floats around and i left it like that for 2 hours now.I used disk juggler did i do something wrong while making it.

My dreamcast has a 1 thats circled.

Can someone make a guide to burning a copy for me?

Or you could try what I do to burn Dreamcast games (assuming you downloaded a .CDI image).

Download Daemon Tools Lite and IMG Burn (if you don't already have them). Both of which are free programs. Scroll to the third post of this thread for links to them...

Mount the .CDI image in Daemon Tools Lite, open IMG Burn and rip the mounted image into BIN/CUE, burn the BIN/CUE using IMG Burn (don't burn any fast than 8x).

See if this works for you.

Wait, why are you using Utopia anyways? Download this image instead...

TuxTheWise has very optimized Dreamcast rips, they're better than most (if not all) releases. It's also self boot so you don't have to mess around with a boot disc.

The goal is making high quality releases, caring about dummy (faster loadings), file order (GD or custom that makes loadings faster and reader noise quieter), downsampling (the best quality with available space) and selfboot.

Wait, did you extract the cdi files with winrar? Discjuggler doesn't require Utopia.

Then just do every thing on the link that I left earlier and every game will work, at least for me, or you probably had a bad rom.

Even if the one you got isn't bad, I still HIGHLY suggest downloading the one from the link I gave you above. When it says it's "optimized" it really means it.

I have to agree with Iggy. Just download from snesorama or dcisozone.com. Make sure its a self boot(which most are), and burn with discjuggler. Direct the program where the file is, change mode to mode 2, check raw write and check overburn, and start.I've had good luck with sony cd-r. Good Luck.
