PLEEEAAASEE Help !

Post by SmitZo »

Whenever i burn NesterDC or DreamSnes ...it never loads on my DC....it goes straight to the CD Player and i've tried everything i can think of :

Burning at different speeds, Switching between Nero and DiskJuggler images, using boot discs , burning on two different CD Writers. Different brand of CDs! EVERYTHING !!!!

Any ideas on what i can do to get either NesterDC or DreamSnes to WORK ! ???

PLeeeZ Help !

No because you have to do things like make an ISO and insert an IP.BIN

But the IP BIN is already there in the directory created ......it's just that one of my burners is kind of like disfunctional at the moment and it is the only one of my burners that Nero recognises under my current setup....

To burn a common DC CD (Which I don't think will work for you since those images didn't work) you have to have an audio track of 6 seconds or longer, then the data ISO with the ip.bin inserted into ther boot-sector of the ISO

I don't think that will help since he can't get anything booting on his DC ATM :(

You might not be able to burn DC games with your burner. Mine can't. Me and my friend have tried burning games, but only those on his burner work.

We use exactly the same settings in Discjuggler, and once we used Nero on each, both work on his, neither on mine.

I've an LG CD-RW CED-8120 and his is CED-8020 or something like that...
