DC-BOR burning (I need help please I am a newbie.)
I'm a dude who still loves my dreamcast but this is my first time burning a BOR game a here's what I got.........
Dreamcast Double Dragon Extreme (NTSC).cdi (It came that way when I download it I perfer to download cdi files instead figuring out how to turn pak.file to cdi.files.)
DC-OpenBOR-V0.2 (with a 1ST_READ.bin file, I'm not sure if I still need it if I already have the cdi.file.)
BootDreams 0.61 version
What I learn from Senile-
Q: I just burned BoR for my game console and it doesn't work! What's wrong?
The most common reasons would be (1) a poor quality CD-R, or (2) you burned the image as a file, instead of opening it with the appropriate CD burning software.
To avoid the first problem, we recommend that you use Philips discs. Sony and Fuji are not recommended, and neither are nameless brands.
A Dreamcast-specific problem might be that your DC doesn't play games from a CD-R. On the bottom of your DC, there is a silver sticker which should provide information about serial number, type, version, etc. You will see a number next to the "PAL" or "NTSC" indication. If that number is 0 or 1, you're good. If it is 2, you may have a problem.
There are different theories about which Dreamcast versions can play homebrew games, and which ones cannot. If you have a type 2 DC which does play them, please let us know.
I got my Philips discs ready to use but now I need ya to tell me how it is done flawlessly.

Thanks for all the info, I need to ask one more question. Sorry if I'm annoying ya I just got to be sure so I don't waste my discs.
As long I have a cdi.file I don't have to worry about the 1ST_READ.bin, right?

Re: DC-BOR burning (I need help please I am a newbie.)
Just downloaded Dragons of Rage at http://www.lavalit.com/downloads/
It comes in a pak.file, so how do I make a cdi.file with the 1ST_READ.bin with bootdreams (just update it to 1.0.3)?

Wait a few hours until a new Dreamcast version is online. (It's being tested as we speak).Dream Project wrote:Just downloaded Dragons of Rage at http://www.lavalit.com/downloads/

Yes.Dream Project wrote:Will this new version have 4 players?
- Also I just noticed that you got DC-OpenBoR-v0.2:
That's a good start. All you need to do is to extract it and grab either the PAL version (EU, AU) or the NTSC version (US, JP) and put it into C:\BootDreams\OpenBoR\, then put the bor.pak into the same folder and burn with BootDreams. That's it.Dream Project wrote:DC-OpenBOR-V0.2 (with a 1ST_READ.bin file, I'm not sure if I still need it if I already have the cdi.file.)
bor.pak can be any .pak file, just rename it to bor.pak.
Btw, did you notice this link & download ?
