If there's a much greater demand for it I may consider it. Numerous files were heavily edited in the game- to distribute them separately would still be distributing content that was altered from its original files without the *OK* from Tecmo. So if you're worried about piracy, you'd still be downloading files that could fall into that category.

Also, due to numerous files being heavily edited such as the boot files, music, costumes etc, the intent was to release this as a full product so users can get the full experience- not for the user to pick and choose what they want in it. If after downloading the full CDI they don't like certain things about the mod, they can tinker around with it afterwards if they so see fit. :)

Thanks for posting that on your WordPress site, have you downloaded the game yet and if so, how are you liking it? ;)

Ah, you know what? I didn't think to create any cover art for this release. Maybe I will at some point.

I've never tried burning the game with ImgBurn. Try Discjuggler (the free version) and burn it using settings from this tutorial-

Thanks for this tutorial, but I tried with DiscJuggler6, I burned 4 Verbatim 700MB CD-Rs with different modes and nothing works... so what can I do

Here's the tutorial that I used and worked for me ever since: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg6j3uXK3Qs

EDIT: well, turns out that tutorial is pretty damn basic (now I recall I read more specific instructions on a site I don't remember), so instead here are the settings that works for me: I use DiscJuggler V6.00, after installing it I just enable the Overburn feature in the Options/Defaults (for images that might be slightly bigger), in Options/Pre-mastering/CD Type I select Mode 1 CD-ROM, and burn at 4x speed.

But there are other reasons why the DC still might not read the burned disc: for example the brand of the CD-R. My Dreamcast just doesn't read Maxell CD-Rs, while TDK CD-Rs it reads no problem (burning the same image with same settings on the same computer and one works, the other doesn't). Or more precisely it reads a certain type (or batch) of TDK CD-Rs no problem (that I bought like a year ago), while it won't read seemingly the same type of TDK CD-Rs I bought reccently.

So finding the brand/type of CDs your Dreamcast reads is a challange all on its own. Maybe your DC just doesn't like Verbatim CD-Rs.

ok after trying all these ways, i decided to retry my other backup games... I dont understand why, but no one is working anymore, and they worked before, it's very strange. Just the Sylverant loader is working, so I just can play PSOv1 online... :(

If discs that used to work don't work anymore, it either means that all of your discs went bad (unlikely) or that the laser in your DC is dying (likely). You'll either need to adjust it to make it stronger or buy a new DC soon.
