This is awesome! I came here from the Dreamcast Junkyard and finally signed up.

I have a quick question and please feel free to point me to a guide but, how would I burn this to a CD? The CDI file is 771mb which is too big for the CDs I normally burn on the Dreamcast.

Thanks again!

Glad to hear the Junkyard brought you here!

Regarding the CDI, it was specifically built to fill an entire CD-R. The game itself is quite small (a couple hundred MBs), but a dummy file has been added so that the game data is closer to the outside of the disc, rather than the inside. For playing CD-Rs on the Dreamcast, this is a preferred/optimal layout.

I promise you that if you burn this CDI with DiscJuggler or ImgBurn, it will work. Neither will throw an error saying that the disc image exceeds the capacity of the CD-R. If it does, just tell it you want to "overburn" the disc.

Ah that makes sense then. Perfect! I'll get it burned and played later this evening.

Thanks again!

Awesome work!

Yes, it has a large dummy file. Honestly it just slipped my mind. I don’t want to break the link or double-upload, so perhaps somebody else can host a zipped version.
