RESOLVED

Hello! I'm very new to the Dreamcast scene and recently set up a dream pi to connect online and play PSO but I'm having trouble making a boot disc for Sylverant's patcher. I'm not very tech savvy and not sure what I'm supposed to do exactly when it comes to this stuff.

Right now I have:
a blank CD-R disc (Verbatim if it matters)
The Zip file of the Sylverant patcher

So far I only burned loader.cdi onto the disc in the file explorer on Windows 10 but nothing comes up on Dreamcast. So I don't know if I burn specific files on the disc or all of them from the zipped folder. I do have ImgBurn but have no idea how to use or navigate it.

So I managed to figure it out.

I downloaded the Dreamcast plugin for ImgBurn from https://dreamcastlive.net/downloads/ and read the instructions to burn the .cdi onto the disc.

I followed the instructions and installed the plugin then burned the loader onto the disc with ImgBurn and now it boots up with no problems.

Typing all this out to hopefully help anyone who might need help in the future.
