Can CD-RWs work in a DC. So that i wouldn't have to waste disks everytime I wanted to update my roms so i was curious.

No, CD-RW's don't work on Dreamcast without modifying the GD-Rom.

u also have to use nero when burning cdrws. burn .nrg files and make sure the settings are finalize and disc at once. there are selfboot apps that can make .nrg files.

and to get best CD results on your Dreamcast, set the option info like this :

ISO 9660 checked, Mode 1 format, and Finalize CD* which will alow no further recording possible.
After setting those options, burn a CD-R at 4X Speed.

I burned my Dreamsnes at 52X and it forgot to add a couple of games to the menu. Thanks to that I'm missing Mega Man X 1-3, Donkey Count...lets stay on topic.

Go buy Nero Burning Rom software.

Wussup y'all? This is my first time posting and I thought I'd shed a little light on an easier method to do all this (reburning roms). If you burn your roms on a seperate CD using Discjuggler you can always reburn the CD as many times as you want. I've reburned one CD about ten times now and it still plays fine. If you don't know how to use it in Discjuggler it's simple, just put your unzipped roms in a folder called roms and burn them and that's about it. You burn them with the "Make New CD" function and you've got yourself a reburned rom CD.

Oops, forgot to mention, my method is with a CD-R, not CD-RW.

That also works with any other CD recording software that supports multisession CDs.

but that works for roms...
we are talking about the DSNES itself not the roms !

i too wouldn't mind using CD-RWs, but i heard that they didn't work at all, whatever you tryed.
so are they working or not ?

There's a mod you can do that will make CD-RW work but from what I hear it will decrease the lifespan of your DC.

...something I wish I could do but really don't think it'd be too good an idea, since my DC's already having trouble loading...

once you set the GD Rom to read the RW's it wont be able to read R's from what ive heard..but people have installed toggle swtiched to go between the two settings...i know there was a tutorial out a while ago, but i wouldnt suggest it unless u have a lot of electronic expierence.
