Can't get Dreamshell to burn

Post by Reprise »

Hi guys, I would appreciate some help if possible please.

I just received a Dreamshell SD card reader for the Dreamcast. However, I can't get the damn Dreamshell software to burn. It is Dreamshell 4.0 RC1 downloaded straight from http://www.dc-swat.ru/page/dreamshell/. It is the CDI image.

I loaded the CDI image in discjuggler and used that to burn it to CDR, but it failed and had an error. I then tried again with my last CDR and tried changing the settings to what was recommended (Googled recommended settings) and it still failed to burn correctly and came up with an error.

It's been years since I've been burning discs for the Dreamcast, but I used to do it all the time and don't remember having any problems.

Any help?

Nevermind. Found some different CDRs (different brand) and those ones work fine.

Mods please remove or close thread. Thanks.

Sorry for triple post, but since I posted this now, may as well ask for tips and advice. Anyone had any luck with this?

I'm downloading some SD ISOs from theisozone, but aren't having much luck yet. I downloaded Alien Soldier, but all that did was reset my dreamcast and not load the game. I tried Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and that seemed to load and even displayed the icon on my VM, but then the screen went black and didn't do anything. These were supposed to be confirmed to work games...
