In need of drastic help

Hey everyone, I'm new to the board and I joined for any help I can get. I went out and bought a used Dreamcast from a second hand shop and I did it because I was told playing roms of any system before the Dreamcast was possible. I know it involves writing ISO images and such but this is where I need someone's help. I don't have NERO or any type of CD burning software on my computer to my knowledge (I usually just burn music with iTunes, I have Windows XP).

I need to know if there is a guide to putting roms and emulators on a disc so that they work with the Dreamcast so it wasn't a wasted investment and Ialso need to know if there is any way to do it without Nero or any freeware I can d/l that will help. I thank anyone that can assist me.

The first place you will wanna start is here:

It doesn't get detailed into how specific programs are burnt but it should get you into the right direction. If you need more help there are others that can give you detailed step-by-step instructions.

Welcome!

Well, you can't play games for most 32/64-bit systems, but PlayStation is possible already with Bleem!cast.

Here's a list of recommend 8bit/16-bit emulators:

For a start I would try to burn something from DCEvolution.net, maybe start with the NES DEP ?

Thanks, I'll give those sites a look. Is it possible to play Sega Saturn on the Dreamcast?

No, but when you're dead the worms will be able to play pinochle on your snout.
