How To Copy Dreamcast Games To CD
Taken from Softmod Depot’s Forums. Original Tutorial is located here.
When downloading games make sure to get .cdi
Ok I am makeing this cuz I lost a good 15 CDs trying to get (backup/copied) DreamCast games running on my DreamCast and I don’t want you to do the same…
First you need a program called (Padus DiscJuggler) this program is for burning 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 writing speed to 4x (Note: 8x works but it’s 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 ). Name it to doa2powerstone2.cdi or somethen like d2p2.cdi . Try not to have space’s or any (“+_-.,/*&#@) signs in the name this could cause the 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 copied CD in DC then close door and power ON
(NOTE) if DiscJuggler says CD may have errors on it, try to fix? Say NO
