I have tried to burn a copy of nester dc about 3 times now. none of them will boot up. I use nero to do this. It says that they are self bootable, but i could be reading it wrong. Do i need to make a boot disk to make sure nester boots up? What am i doing wrong with it.....any help would be appreciated.....thanks.........

Are you using a Nero IMAGE file? And are you UK or America?

Well, the advice here is to make sure you have the latest Nero, and to make sure to get the NTSC version

one more question... what is the NTSC version?

NTSC is a type of TV that America uses, which is why you should use that version

i have also been having problems running nesterdc. I have tried to burn both NERo and disc juggler NTSC images and i have the newest versions of NERO and DISCJUGGLER , but nothing loads when i put it in my dreamcast. Do i just burn nesterdc ITSELF on a cd, then put it in my dreamcst and press power, should it just start right up, then put ROMS on a seperate cd? sorry for all these questions but i am anxious to start playing NES games on the dreamcast so if you can help i'd apppreciate it.

Do you have a Gameshark Memory card pluged in? because when I had my GS pluged in my emulators wouldn't boot up.

phoneks1, that's been proven repeatedly not to be true. Some DC's made after 10/2000 can't boot MIL-CD's but they're limited to "Sakura Wars" and "Hello Kitty" models in Asia. Bleem uses a MIL-CD and it's been able to boot on all DC's except for those runs.

mingringfingding, it may be that Nero doesn't like your burner or (more likely) that your burner can't do multiple sessions (not all burners can). How old/fast is your burner? Also, try Nero images for other emulators or try the DiscJuggler image. If all else fails you're SOL.
