If your guide. is still up, I will gladly ask the moderators to remove mind.

EDIT: I didn't mean Download Index, I meant the Dreamcast Tutorial FAQ.
i had one up for burning counter strike in the Dreacast Tutorial thread. it could have easily been used for any game though. even though i have a guide up i still would rather we used yours. you have screen shots and i removed all of my image links from my original guide.

nice guide dude, makes mine look silly :oops: :lol: :D

Counter Strike Burning guide
Things you will need
1. winRar. Here is a link to its free download. http://winrar.en.softonic.com/download

2. Discjuggler. Here is a link to its free download. http://www.padus.com/downloads/demo.php you may download from either one of the mirrors

3.Counter strike Beta. Here is the free download. This is from Megaupload.com. You must enter the 3 digit code that it asks you for. This is located at the top of the page. Then wait 45 seconds before you can download. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y3UDFJRD.

4. You will also need a PC with a CD burner on it.

Downloading Counter strike beta and extracting it with WinRar
It would be simpler to download WinRar before the counter strike beta. Because you must extract the CT beta with WinRar. Also make sure when you extract the counter strike beta that you save it where you can find it. I suggest making a new folder for it on your desktop.

First make a new folder on your Desktop and rename it.

Just in case you do not know how to make a new folder its done like so. Click anywhere on you desktop with the (right) mouse button and scroll down to (new) this will then open options. Select (new folder) it should be the first one on the list. After the folder is made it will be appear on your desktop highlighted with the name NEW FOLDER. Type in the new name that you want. I suggest some thing like (counter strike)

Extracting Counter strike
After you entered the 3 digit code on meaguploader.com and waited 45 seconds You can then down load. When your computers download options window pops up. (Select open). When it's done downloading WinRar will automatically open with the counter strike file in it for extraction.


You have to extract all 9 counter strike files. WinRar will show 11 items in this menu. Only 9 are Counter strike files. The Counter strike icons look like 3 tiny books stacked up. You can extract all 9 at one time by dragging your mouse over them and highlighting them all. After you have all 9 highlighted. Click on the highlighted area with the (right) mouse button. An option. Menu will open. You want to select the option that says extract to specified folder. Selecting this option will open a new menu. Look for the folder that you made earlier. The one that I suggested for you to name Counter strike. It should be easy to find. Once you have found it. (Double click) on it. Then (click ok) at the bottom of the menu box. The small extraction wizard should now be seen on your screen extracting files to the folder you specified.

You are now finished with WinRar

Burning using Discjuggler.
Note
When you open discjuggler it will show you a Tip of the day. Close this. You must wait 10 seconds to start running discjuggler.


Now that discjuggler is opened you want to go to file. It’s located at the top left. Select (new). a menu window will pop up look for the option that says "burn disc images". You should now have yet another new window. This is the burning window. Make sure you have a blank CD-R in your burning drive. Click the (source) tab. It's directly below where it says source. Do not use the pull down arrow that is to the right of the source tab!

After selecting the source tab a new window will pop up. On this new window you will want to click on the pull down arrow and select (desktop). Now look for the folder you made earlier and (double click it). Now look for the disc image. It should say "Counter-Strike DC Beta 3 MP1.cdi"(double click it).

Everything should be ready for burning hit start. You will get a warning saying discjuggler is running in evaluation mode. It will write at lower recording speeds and only up to 700 megabytes. Would you like to continue? (Select yes). After its finish burning your done.

The end



if you need any screen shots of anything let me know. and if you have any questions feel free to PM me.

btw this might appear hard but its actually a lot easier than it looks

Thank you.

Also, I can successfully report a 100% success rate for me, with any game I have tried, this includes the rather tricky Half-Life mods, that for some reason don't burn right for certain people.

I've tested multiple discs (different brands) as well as different burners.

Also, my external drive, can burn at 1x speed!

I also just realized that the version I've been using is the latest V6 version form the site, these instructions are meant for the latest version of DiscJuggler and not V3.5 that isn't hosted anymore.

Yeah, I posted 3.5 over at DCisozone, as that is probrabaly now the only place you can find it on the net. The older version won't work on my Vista PC, so I doubt it would on Win 7 either.

What is the actual difference between answering a question and chatting? In a way, since we only get one answer to a question, aren't we all sort of chatting on a limited basis? I know that you can get a VN for chatting, but where do you draw the line? If I answer the person in the same way we all do, every day, could not that be the dreaded chatting?

As humans (Most of us I think), there is a *natural* need for interaction, it is possible to almost eliminate this need, but no matter how uninteresting the interaction is, it *helps* fulfill the need.
