The brand of the disc does make a difference. Try to get some verbatims again. Those work for me. Sony cdrs not so much. There are others that never work either and some that do. Memorex works for me as well. Although I don't feel the quality is there with those discs.

Hi,
For '1 session' games I use the default settings but for '2 session' games I use these settings:
https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/vi ... php?t=6836

I have the write speed set to 16x and had the most success with Memorex discs. I use a cheap (~£6) usb cd burner I got off ebay.

Hope this helps :-)
