Try Nero to burn the CDI files.

If I remember correctly, there's this burning method option you have to select when you burn the games, & some games require a certain boot disc. (Which you also have to burn)

ok thanks. do you know where i could find info about this boot disk? what the name of the program is?

Remember, only SOME games require the boot disc. Mainly the older cracked games, like DOA2... (&, seeing these games are homebrews...)

EDIT: You could also have one of the newer model Dreamcasts w/ better anti-piracy...stuff...

You're better off just downloading the Nero image and burning it. Nero is available as a free trial.

Homebrew/pirated games only work on Dreamcasts with a 1 on the bottom.

Or a 0 (zero).

Also look on sites like dcemulation, and sites in it's links (homebrew sites). They should have a tool called something like "cdi2nero", use that to convert the image to one that Nero can use by default.

there is a silver sticker on the bottom and the number should be a circled 0 1 or 2

get the plain files and use this to make a nero or disc juggler file and burn those.

I used nxdoom. I have doom, doom 2, and final doom all on one disc for the dreamcast. no boot disk neccesary.

i burned it, and put it in the dreamcast, and it took me to a screen with a blank menu. i pressed start and it just brought a black screen. i found where it says one or zero, it says zero, and it was manufactured in august of 1999. i really hate to ask, but could someone email me the .cdi (for the hexen (full version) and any doom game?)? i could burn it then.

Thanks,
Ty

you do own the games don't you. you have to get the files for the games off your harddrive as well.

try this.

(not of hexen, of the dreamcast) help please!

In more recent news, it has been revealed to be only a myth. DC homebrew works on any/all dreamcast models.

Use DiscJuggler and find the DiscJuggler Image that you want to burn, It worked everytime i tried (about 20 give of take.)
