Use Discjuggler or Nero to make the copy (just like copying any other discs)
Those two programs handle the Dreamcast disc structures well...

Nero usually works fine for me...
Better than Alchohol...

I agree.

I agree.

Since when? This year? Because I dont keep up with Nero. Maybe they recently added support for these types. I was with the DC piracy scene since it started in 2000 and Nero was never capable of burning a self-boot game. That's the entire reason why every release was made on Disc Juggler.

A lot of DC scene releases were done in Nero format.
I use Nero all the time for burning self booting games....

There is even a utilitiy to convert CDIs to Nero (CDI2Nero)

Yes there was but it was only for the stubborn people, and then they proceded to complain how it only worked half the time. I remember this situation being really annoying, because the demo of discjuggler was free, and would burn the games just fine. It was a damn epidemic on the isonews forums, with hundreds of people asking us why Nero wouldn't work.

But what official self-boot DC releases were in the .NRG format? I don't recall a single one.

Like I said, if Nero works nowadays, then great. But the older versions back then didn't.

come to think of it not one of my burned dc games were done with nero. So i usually only download dc images in Cdi format since i can be pretty sure it works.

I couldn't find any without doing some research, but I know for a fact that I have downloaded some in Nero and I have about 2/3s of my hundreds of Dreamcast images stored in NRG (Nero) format and they work fine.
