"all you need to now to burn DC games" , Thu 10 Aug 16:51 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The thinks to do to burn DREAMCAST games. The tools you need : 1. A cdr burner. 2. A copple of cd’s. 3. The program : nero burning rom (5.x.x.x). 4. The program : winrar. 5. The program : isobuster. 6. The program : Dummyfile. 7. The program disc juggler. These files are needed to burn the DREAMCAST games. The first thing to do is download the UTOPIA boot cd. You can find it at www.dccopyworld.com or a other site. If you have downloaded it and unpact it you MUST have this image : Cdloader.cdi ( it must be a *.cdi file ). Now you start disc juggler and look for the option “burn image” now you put the hole path of where you put the image file in. Now you must say in the options that it is a CDI image(or the copy wil not work). And press the burn button.(the burn proces will stop in 2 % but it is normal just wait until it say “burn compleet”).to try if the copy works put it in your dreamcast and turn it on. Now you must see the screen of utopia V1.1 please insert cd. If you see this screen it is good. !!!Just use the nero version of the boot cd to burn a perfect boot the first time!!! Now you (have) download a game from a site like www.godabuzz.com and unpact the *.rar file with winrar. If you have done that start isobuster and find the *.bin file to extract. In the right windows select all files and right click on them and choose extract to. Now you put them in a emty directory and wait until is done. Now it’s time to greate a dummy file. The dummy file is for : the files of the dreamcast game are just 100 MB (most of the time) but the cd must be full. A normal cd is 650 MB. So 650 – 100 = 550 MB that must be filed. And that is wath we do with a dummy file (it doesn’t matter if the cd isn’t all full if you have 10 MB spare it’s ok). How to greate a dummy file ? Start the dummy.exe file and select the directory that you want (the directory where the DREAMCAST files are) then say how big the file must be, in my case it will be 545 (make it always some smaller then it will always work). And hit the built button. Now you just wait until it says that it’s done. Now we must burn the DREAMCAST on a CDR(in my case it’s a 650 mb 74 min cd ). I use the nero burning rom software to burn the cd. Start the program and and choose FILE/NEW and CD-ROM (ISO). In Multisession choose NO MULTISESSION. For File Options choose ISO Level 2, Mode 1, ISO 9660, Joliet and check both options in Relax ISO Restrictions. Choose whatever you want for volume descriptor. I usually name it whatever the game is like CHUCHU. For Burn choose Write, Finalized CD, whatever speed you feel comfortable with(I always burn at 8x) and then hit New. Open your extracted files directory and drop all of the files from the right into the left window and add your Dummy file. You'll notice at the bottom that the disk should be nearly at it's full capacity of 650MB or 700MB like the above image. Select your dummy file and right click on it and choose Properties. Select the dummy file's priority as LOW. Select all of your other files and select their priority as HIGH. Anything inside of the folders should be given a HIGH Priority as well. Go to File and WRITE CD or hit the Write CD button. Now wait until the cd is written. Put the utopia cd in your dreamcast when it says “please insert cd” open your dreamcast and put the copied game in. At the left bottom corner there will be some numbers that indicate that the game is loding like 45 % 56 % , then you come in a other screen with the same as the screen before if everything is loaded the game begin and you can play . If you see in the hole procedure a error or a screen i haven’t handdeled yuo do something that is not good, if the loading screen is been verry verry long onthe tv ( like more then 2 min) you have forgotten the dummy file.
