Just got a dreamcast from thrift store

Post#1 » Wed Jan 04, 2023 9:47 pm

Just got a dreamcast from a thrift store. Model 0, so apparently it doesn't work with a gdemu without modification which is a bummer, plus they're real expensive now. Got a stack of discs burned and a smaller stack of coasters that won't play in the console but will work in an emulator. Trying to find good burnable .cdi's that will play in my old console, cant find soul caliber that works.

Thanks for the reply! My stack of working games is taller than my stack of coasters, so i think the drive is still working good enough for now. I found some tips that helped with burning games. Some failed discs using imgburn work good using the right settings in discjuggler:

In the "Advanced" tab.....
Boot games (Games that have 1 track and 1 session on the disc). Use these settings:

Mode 1
Offset 0
Block...2048
TOC....CD-ROM

For games that are self-boot (Games that have 2 or 3 sessions on a disc), use these settings:

Mode 2
Offset 0
Block....2336
TOC......CD-XA[/color]

11) In the "Advanced" tab, there is NO NEED to enable "Raw Writes" or "Overburn CD". But DO enable "Add-post 3rd..."
