First of all Ive been a sega fan since the genesis, and have recently brought the dreamcast out of the closet for a while. I have been seeing alot of stuff on line about downloading games and putting them on disc? This interests me since the games are fairly hard to find unless you go on ebay and pay outragous shipping costs. My question is ... Is there a place for game burning beginners to learn how to do this in basic english. Because it sounds a little confusing. I am computer savey, just dont know what all the file abbrev. mean. Any help would be appreciated

Well good old racketboy has some good guides here on the site:

That is how most people I know do it.

Is there a tutorial anywhere on downloading a game and burning it, rather than just copying it from another disk? Where to get downloadable games.... what to do when you get it....

Sorry about that Sohoya, real life grabbed me for a couple hours. I am glad to see racket swooped in and delivered the information you were looking for.
