Read teh tutorial, and I'm an idiot, unzipped the files, followed it to the letter....still no games in the directory. Did you create a ROM list (it's optional, yeah, but it's preferred)? Use the program given in the first post to create a file that will make it easier to read all of the ROMs on th...

Believe it or not, I actually solved the problem. I went out and bought some brand new CD-Rs (TDK brand again, but a different kind of course). When I got home, I sent my Nester DC SE and DreamSNES 0.9.8 .cdi files to my brother's laptop, installed BootDreams to it, and burned both images to two CD...

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it might be a problem with the CD-Rs. Can a CD actually be too big/heavy to fit into a drive? This seems to be the case with my brother's laptop, where it won't fit in without the top of the disc scratching up against the top of his laptop's disc dr...

As long as they fixed the framerate for 4-player MK64. I remember they said they'd tweak the games a bit (framerate issues and such), so I hope to God they fixed it up. I'll be buying both MK64 and LoZ:LttP regardless, though. Just curious if there was a reason that you posted this in green... :) A...

Still no luck. Now it's back to not being able to burn again (I guess I got kind of lucky when it fully completed). I even uninstalled BootDreams and reinstalled it to C:\BootDreams, but nothing changed. Ever since I put those NO_ROMS.HERE (which appears as NO_ROMS.HERE. txt on the list where you s...

Yes, made sure of it.

EDIT: And apparently it didn't write anything to it, because I took it out, inserted it again, and there was no data on it at all.
EDIT 2: Nevermind, it did write to it. Another coaster, #13 I believe.

Hm, before I'd ask you for posting the entire directory structure of your CD, I'd say try to use BootDreams' CDRecord method. Set burning speed to 8x - and enable Auto-dummying. Also make sure you got enough space on your HDD (should be above 1.4 GB). Other than that use a good CDR. The less you ca...

Sounds like you've didn't include a MP3 or perhaps you did include MP3s that DreamSNES can't play. Eh, looks like I edited my post a little late. I never changed the song that was given to me through the plain files originally. :| EDIT: Apparently it's called "bubghost" by Soil of Sound.

Sorry for the double post (again... :? ), but I just needed to fill you guys in on some info. The burning process worked when I used BootDreams; everything burned 100%. But, apparently, my Dreamcast dislikes DreamSNES or something, because it loads it up to the menu, everything is there, but it's l...

Try burning the CDI with the CDI burner in BootDreams. I'll give that a try, but I don't think it'll work either. I've tried it before and it does basically the same thing. It'll stop midway (or elsewhere) through the burning process for no apparent reason. But you know what, I'm going to try burni...

Sorry for the double post here, but I didn't want this to go unnoticed had I just edited it into my previous post. Anyway, here's what I came up with: Everything went well through the .cdi image creation, however, when I name my .cdi image something other than 'cd', I have to manually put .cdi at t...

Ah, okay, thanks. I guess that means it will just see that there is no IP.BIN in the 'cd' folder and it will automatically create one there. I'm going to give it a shot and see if anything works. Regardless, I will post my results here.

One question for reassurance before I do so. In order for it to create its own IP.BIN (and perhaps to make a successful .cdi image), which of the following should have a check next to it in the "Extras" menu (under the DiscJuggler section, of course) on BootDreams?: *ISO Settings (All are...

Thanks for your detailed post. I'll try to help. Here's a basic rundown of what I did step-by-step, maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here: -Downloaded the DreamSNES 0.9.8 plain files, extracted them -Downloaded BootDreams, and properly installed it (at this point, Alcohol 120% has alr...

Man, this is frustrating. I went through 10 CD-Rs already, and not one will burn completely. I created the .cdi image through the tutorial in the first post of this thread, and I'm trying to burn the image with Alcohol 120%. It just won't burn. The speed is set to 8x, the type of CD is set to 'Norm...
