Can't burn planetweb 3.0 for the life of me

Post by Nero6 »

Hi everyone. I'm new here, and i've been a huge dreamcast fan for the longest time. I recently got a hold of a bba, and it works pretty well. The only problem i have is after trying a few different images, the original and the google mod included, i cannot get the program to start whatsoever.

I've tried discjuggler, bootdreams, imgburn, burning the data at default burning the data at mode 2 burning it mode 2 + raw and even the utopia boot disc cant get the things to run (moose either locks up or moves at 1fps after loading the pw disc)

Does anyone have any clue why this wouldn't work? I'm at a total loss trying to figure this out but i'm dying to surf the web with this thing.

thanks in advance!

edit i forgot to mention that i can boot xdp, and it has planetweb 2.6 on there but does anyone know if theres a way to use the bba with this? i cant seem to figure it out :(

Yeah but it's not compatible with quite a lot of websites that i believe PW3 can handle.

Even so, using the XDP disc i can't get PW2.6 to work with the bba, i dont even know if its possible to get it to work with this older version but if it is i would love to know how to do it.

Nero6, I'm at a loss. XDP is a great browser, I used the various options and have had no problems with it, including solid performance.

Using the xdp browser every website i try to log into gives me a "would you like to view secure data?" message with only the option "ok" and selecting it does absolutely nothing. I cant log into any websites. I dont know why it wont work :(

Thanks smith, i wasn't sure about planetweb. As far as xdp i havent found any settings for ssl and the like. but in any event, back to the topic at hand why on earth wont this image burn? again both the regular planetweb 3.0 and planetweb google edition neither work, if i try to selfboot i got nothing if i use utopia it just freezes. i tried everything i could think of as far as burning methods, discjuggler bootdreams mode 2 raw the works and none of the 5 or so discs i burned worked in any way shape or form :(

edit- radkin seems to be having the same problem here

I appreciate the effort but like i said i already tried dj both leaving the advance tab alone and setting mode 2 and setting mode 2 + raw and setting just raw and none of these worked. Maybe im retarded i don't know but it's just not booting for me.
