Nope, it should go to a screen with a spinning reigndeer

hmm. I burned the nero image with no problems, but apparently it did not take. I will burn it again and see what happends.

Im guessing your dreamcast is one of the new ones which DOSENT SUPPORT CD-R'S. Check the compatibility list.

I would try DJ before giving up hope as Nero images can be unreliable (Depending on burner)

I belive it is DJ that is the worse of the two. As far as i have seen DJ it is a headache and a lot of people agree. Nero is the best burning app out there.

Yeah, but the problem with a Nero image is (especially with a cdi2nero one) is that it won't burn on some burners and DJ is the better option for them...

DJ can seem fiddly at times but it is more advanced than nero (especially in data)... Nero is simple to use and does a lot of advanced features... For DC, I always use DJ but Nero is my tool of choice

Well, I created a DreamSNES boot cd, under linux using CDRECORD, and its working fine. Maybe it is nero. Anyone know were to get DJ?

Thanks,

Jim

Hey, one thing you might want to check... put the CDR, after you burn it, BACK in your CDROM drive, and be sure your computer can read it. That'll tell you if Nero is getting the burn done correctly. If it is, then try on the DC.

I found this out firsthand. In my office I've got an iOmega Predator USB CDRW, and Nero just burns frisbees w/ it for some reason. *Sniffle* Gotta use DJ for now.

DJ = http://padus.com

Maybe you should try using CDRecord for all the apps.

Perry I would because I am cheap and its free

Whats YGM?

YGM = You Got Mail and CDRecord can now burn DJ images... just one session ones only so DC images are out of the question at this time

I now have my Utopia boot disk working, but when I put the DCQuake CD in it does not boot, anything I need to do special? I burned it as directed on the main page. I even named it CANDYISO as the Readme told to do. The only thing different is I put my PC Quake's PAk0 and PAK1 files in the ID1 folder overwriting the shareware version. This is was ok as per the readme. Anyhelp would be appreciaated.

Thanks,
Jim
