Burn it slower? Clean the lens in the Dreamcast? Possibly test the disc out (that you just burned) in another Dreamcast system that is verified to boot CD-Rs.

Newer Dreamcasts won't read CDRs.

so after i convert the cdi to bin, do i need to set any settings? or do i just let nero burn it?

Also, while this is burning........ if this doesnt work, are there any tricks i can do to make the DC read burned games even though it was made after oct. 2000?
