Title: How to Burn DreamCast games to CD Post by: Kyla666 (zzk2001) on June 18, 2006, 12:30:35 AM UPDATE 9/29/2010
(note) To play backup games on your deramcast it MUST be Made Befor Oct. 2000 OK so i started getting some more Dreamcast games as i wanted to get some really good ones =P BUT Padus DiscJuggler has updated and i did not have the super old version any more =( So i came across some things in the Newer version. -For Games Under 700mbs set your settings as this (http://www.smdepot.net/zzk/under700.jpg) -For Games Over 700mbs set settings as this (http://www.smdepot.net/zzk/over700.jpg) Now I can't tell you that the settings you see here will work with EVERY game as i have come across a few games that no matter what i place the settings at they just will NOT WORK... It could be just bad rips or something but i just gave up on them LOL For all Other Info that you may need Please read bellow -------------------------------------- When Downloading Games Make sure to Get .cdi OK i am makeing this cuz i lost a good 15 CDs trying to get (Backup/copyed) DreamCast games runing on my DreamCast and i don't want you to do the same... Frist you Need a Program called (Padus DiscJuggler) this program is For Bruning your .cdi Ok in DiscJuggler go to Tools > Options click on pre-Mastering Tab Where it says Data CD type Pick Mode 1 click Ok (make sure to write/verify) Things you Must DO!!!! set writeing speed to 4x (Note) 8x works But is buggy with 8x you may need to power Off and back on DC to get Disk working If Game name is like this E-MVSCAP.CDI You Must Lower case it to e-mvscap.cdi (lost 2CDs cuz that s**t) + if game is spaced apart like ( DOA 2 + Power stone 2.cdi ) ReadName it to doa2powerstone2.cdi or somethen like d2p2.cdi Try not to have space's or any ("+_-.,/*&#@) signs in the name this could cose CD Not to Load if you download a game and it is Over 700Mb don't Have a Cow you can fit it on a 700MB CD (The Dummy Data on the .cdi makes it look Bigger then it is) If you Are Downloading your Games and Burning to CD Most rips are SelfBoot (As in you don't need a BootCD) Make sure to power DC off then put Copyed CD in DC then close Door and power ON (NOTE) if DiscJuggler says CD may have errors on it try to fix ? Say NO Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: drfweega on June 18, 2006, 11:09:25 AM Good job.
Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: thrash on February 27, 2007, 02:18:31 PM Ok, I've followed this tut and it works perfectly, so I would like to thank you for that. However, I have recently downloaded some games that are NOT in cdi format, they come with two files mdf and mds. I am going to assume that since it is not in cdi format, it is most likely not selfboot. How would I go about burning these files?
Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: Snafupossum on February 28, 2007, 12:58:42 AM try and use a virtual drive and see if you can re-rip them to a .cdi format. not to sure if it will work, but its worth a shot.
Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: thrash on March 05, 2007, 01:55:01 PM Actually, I think its more of a need to make it self boot or something.
Could someone right a tutorial to cover this? Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: Kyla666 (zzk2001) on March 05, 2007, 07:45:57 PM Makeing the Game Selfboot is kind of Hard when i say Get only .cdi types Thats Cuz it has Been Made to SelfBoot
i would right a tut on how to do it BUT i was to Lazy lol and i don't care for DreamCast that Much =( Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: infamousdice on March 08, 2007, 07:49:04 AM good job but this is some old system

Anyone have or know of where to get one? Title: Re: How to Copy DC games to CD Post by: infamousdice on March 09, 2007, 01:04:21 PM i wanna mod my SUPER NINTENDO

I am going to assume that since it is not in cdi format, it is most likely not selfboot. How would I go about burning these files? those are alcohol 120% files, which are pretty hit and miss in my experience, sometimes it boots, sometimes it doesnt. google dcemu to find a huge community on how all this works, ive been out of it for a while.
