Burning Dreamcast ISOs

[Wanted]

MODE: mode 1/dvd
Offset: 0
Block: 2048
TOC: CD-ROM/DVD

Misc: untick all only tick add post-gap

Put the burn speed to minimum too and don't let Diskjuggler "repair" the file if it offers. If it still doesn't work maybe a bad image, bad cd's or your DC's laser doesn't like CD-R's. You can look at how to adjust the laser (google) but never did myself.

If there is only one track in the image it isn't self-boot and you need a boot disk. If there are two tracks track one is the boot disk image and it will automatically run and then start the game.

Sorry, I don't know what to tell ya. You could just try higher quality CD-Rs, they probably have them at Best Buy or RadioShack or something. What type or CD-Rs are you using?
Ironically, I have actually had more success with the Gamma loader on Wii than I have on Dreamcast. If you've got a Wii, you could try that, or if you have a homebrew-equipped GC, you could try GCOS, but you would need to get the top of it off or get 8cm DVD-Rs...
And well if you have LittleBigPlanet, I'm willing to play that over winter break

Sorry I dunno what else to tell you. Maybe you could use your 360 controller on your PC with ePSXe to play PSX isos.
Good Luck

Ah man, the Dreamcast. Good times. Man, I remember Discjuggler images coming out days before the game would be released. But to answer your question, it reads CD-Rs, not DVD-Rs. At least not without modification. And you shouldn't need the Utopia boot disc for anything, everything should have been repackaged to run by themselves.

 

[Zenith94]

Yea but when I put in the CD-R disk, it just runs it through the Music section thinking its an audio disc with 2 songs, track 1 and track 2, that dont play any music. When I click games it says please insert a game disc.

I FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM

Dreamcasts come in 3 types: Revision 0, 1, and 2. If you have revision 0 and 1 (the older kind) you can run backups fine. If you have revision 2, there will be some trouble. Unfornutely, my Dreamcaust is revision 2. Does anyone know about this and how I can run backups? (ie special bootdisk)

AS ABOVE use the UTOPIA BOOT DISK!

I also pointed this out in another thread you made

Maybe they got sick of being called retards.

Anyway, if your DC is the type that won't play backups, then you pretty much are outta luck unless you buy another one that will play them. I don't think they will even work with a boot disc.
