So... How do you supposed to do it, exactly? And what program are you supposed to do it with?
P.S. I'm kinda new to this Dreamcast stuff so plz explain to me as understandable as possible

I have only used ImgBurn and DiscJuggler to burn CDIs from a website called "Replayers". And I've got no luck so far. I know that sometimes the laser inside the Dreamcast can be hit or miss to read burned games, but I don't wanna waste more money on blank CD-Rs just to test the laser, 'cuz Data/Data is the format that's supposed to be supported on ANY Dreamcast models. Also, I've found some of Sizious' and Xeal's(?) old tools to make these games bootable on my Dreamcast: bin2boot(Zeal's?); Bootmake and IMG4DC(both are Sizious'). Each of them comes with intructions but the problem is programs are sooo old now(2001) that I can't even make it run on my Laptop (bin2boot and IMG4DC). And to make it worse, compatibility mode doesn't work either.Nz17 wrote:Have you actually tried running homebrew software on your Dreamcast? From what I've read, the MIL-CD fix only applies to Dreamcasts made after a certain month in 2001 and even that isn't absolute. Just burn an ISO, CDI, or what-have-you of anything that's been confirmed to work with compatible Dreamcasts and try it. If it doesn't work at all, then let us know and I'll try to help you.
The link doesn't work anymore because it's too old. When I click on the link, it went straitup not responding on Microsoft EdgeSMiTH wrote:if i remember correctly, the first session data must be padded so that the 2nd session data starts at 45000 lba.
you can use this tool made by familyguy.

I didn't even know that they're selling physical copies of homebrew games. But right now I just couldn't by it. I'm from Viet Nam and it would be a rough trip to get that game from overseas.Nz17 wrote:That .rar link worked just fine for me using the Chromium Web browser. Perhaps try again or try using a different Web browser or computer.
With regards to your CD situation, have you considered buying an indie homebrew game release and seeing if it will run on your Dreamcast? That would verify if CD-R's or CD-ROM's will boot on your DC considering that CD's are the medium used by unofficial Dreamcast games and software. If so, then you can just use a CD-based boot disk to boot your "import" games.
