a friend of mine will borrow me his dc, i will test it there too and another pc, anyone has ideas how to use alcohol? (dao,tao,raw-tao? wich mode?)

shipping? no, i think im doing it right (i tryed almost evry possible settings for dj, one HAVE to work)

i think its my dc (stupid bitch! )

so, i need ideas/hints how U burn with alcohol!

EDIT:

my other questions are:

- is it a problem that i use dj4?
- is it a problem that i have a pal dc and im trying "non-pal" games ?

i would have to say that the game region is fine. you should not have any trouble playing those games on a pal system.

as for DJ v4? that is hard to say. i use version 6. you might want to give version 6 a try. it has a free demo edition. so it wont cost you anything to try it. also you wont ever need to buy the full version to burn Dreamcast games.

You might just wanna get the DJ6 trial. It never expires and its perfect for burning DC games

there is some differences but nothing like what you are hoping for. one thing you will notice is the Burn Disc image option. i don't know how this differs from the "Burn CD and DVD image" option that you have been using. but i do know that it works.


here's what you do, go to padus's website and download the Demo edition of V6 from either of the mirrors http://www.padus.com/downloads/demo.php after you have it downloaded and installed do not change any settings. just select "Burn Disc image" and under source, navigate to where you have the CDI file saved. make sure that the Destination is correct. the Destination will be your burning drive. once you have the Source and Destination correct just hit Start. you will get a warning stating that Discjuggler is running in evaluation mode blah blah blah. hit ok. if you get a warning saying that the image is broken and DJ can try to fix it, say no. if you say yes Discjuggler will ruin the image. that's it all done!



here is an image of the menu in v6

ok, but again my questin:

i know that i have to use mode2

but: wich blocksize, should i make a cd-da / cd-xa / cd-i /cd-rom?
should i only CHECK raw (that little boxes like overburn, add a gap for 3rd party images etc) ?

none of that matters if you did what i said to do. like i said earlier, get version 6 of discjuggler and use the default settings. it should burn the game fine with out changing anything. as for alcohol 120% the only thing i can remember that you should be worried about is the write speed. try and use a lower one. so basically use the latest version of either program and leave the settings alone! defaults are fine!
