The Dreamcast doesn't usually have an issue with burn speed, so I doubt that would help.

Some models do, it's worth a try. Rerip with alcohol 120 and copy slow.

Also report that guy to amazon, it reminds me of a time I saw a guy selling snatcher for Sega CD for like $10, I asked if it was an original and he replied that the quality was great and that the game played fine and that it didn't matter much. He got reported :)

I personally have no idea if that would work but hey, what have you got to lose? cd-r's cost only a few cents.

From my own experience, depending on what burner you use, burn speed does in fact matter.

my friends girlfriend used to make games for me and then she got a new computer and burned them at high speeds. the games didnt work (although sometimes it would boot but not often) so she just re-copied the bad ones and burned them slower.

ive also had the same experience with my burners burning at 10x my games came out half working, i would re-do them at 8x with 100% success. yes, same cd-r's.

its totally true that burn speed matters with dreamcast games, although some burners may work better than others.

I've always burned my DC games at high speeds and I can't think of any that I've had issues with. But that is probably down to dumb luck rather than anything more concrete.

i think it really has to do with the burner, ive seen this happen very often with my experience.

ive read multiple forums that with burning psx games to burn them at 1x the best as well, so i know its not just some dumb luck.
