Bmw575, ah.. I don't know, I guess not all Dreamcast can read CDrs.
I still can get my original Dreamcast (Sonic Advenutre, Shuffle, and Blue VMU Bundle) to play them. What Model Number do you have?

Well I hate to keep beating a dead horse (this thread) but I tried the discs on my friend's Dreamcast and it worked, so I asked him to just swap systems with me (lol) and he all but gave me his Dreamcast, so now I just have to remember which Dreamcast is which... ;p Ah, well I know hardly any games ...

Yeah, that's exactly what I tried, and while it was nice and easy to create the Image, the darn CD just didn't work. I don't know, I'm going to check out my friend's Dreamcast (see if he has a GS-CDX compatible DC too.. I'll have to switch em when he's not looking) ;p Stinks there's no source code f...

Bleh, well I don't know how to explain it (read: still a Cdrw newbie)

But in the Multisession window in Nero it had CD-Rom Type/ISO Type, and ISO Type/ISO Type (Data/Data, I'm guessing?) instead of CDrom/Audio (Data/Audio)..

If I've got this all wrong please tell me ;p

Ah, I've burned Data/Data (both CDrom/Iso) and (Iso/Iso).. I'll take the disc (if they're not ruined from me throwing them at the wall, oops) to my friends house this week and test them on his Dreamcast. If they work, it's time to invest in a second Dreamcast (if I can find one!). Well thanks for th...

Hrm, you know.. I had bought a GameShark CDX from Best Buy, and it refused to load too...

Ah well *discusses with himself*

I'll figure this out I guess...

Argh, still no luck.. are some CDrw Drives incompatible with burning readable Dreamcast games? This is such a let down, if I wasn't such a "Cdrw Newbie" *sighs*.

I have a Philips CD ReWriter 24x12x40 (PCRW2412) and I'm using some (cheap) Memorex 24x (80 minute) CDrs.

There's the source code to Descent, Descent 2, Descent Freespace 2, Hexen 2, Aliens vs. Preditor Gold, and more... If you were to port and optimize the engines for Dreamcast (the content wouldn't need to be changed as most old games have tame models, maps, sounds, etc etc) they'd run as good if not ...

Yeah, I know what he meant and I'm thankful for the reply.. but using someone else's is out of the question, no one else I know has a CDR/W Drive. So...

I'll keep trying.. I have 97 CDrs left..

Well I give up, this just doesn't work.

I've tried both Nero and DiskJuggler (yuck, wouldn't even write to a CD).

Eep, what am I doing wrong.

Well, I've followed the directions for QuakeDC and the Utopia BootDisc (cause the darn selfbooting QuakeDC thing didn't seem to work). Anyways, I put them into my Dreamcast and it just doesn't work.. the Quake Disc pops up the CD Player.. the Utopia nothing, like it's just blank disc. Are there any ...
