Issues backing up my DC games*Weird Fix*
Krypticklown:
Hello, just wanted to ask if anyone has any luck with burning off their own rips of DC games from their collection of own (not pirated) games. I've having all sorts of burning issues. I've burned the CDI image using 3 programs (Nero/Disk Juggler/ IMGburn) using three different types of media (Sony,Memorex,Verbatim) on four different burners...still cant play this damn game. The issue I'm having is that it recognizes the game, launches the game - I get the Dreamcast Logo flash screen in the game, my Memory Card reads the game Title and displays it to me. But it never goes to the title screen, just stays black. :-\ I'm more than happy to take a picture of the blank CD sitting beside the Legit purchased game if that eases tension, and please do not link any rom/iso download sites.

Some games need to be modified a bit in order to play from a cdr. Just download known working ISOs and burn from them instead. Also, ripping GDs isn't as easy as ripping CDs/DVDs. Some drives just won't do it properly or at all.

I did try downloading a known working version and Im having the same issues, think my laser is fubar'd? I have back up games that are working fine, and my originals work with no issues but this one damn game is proving to be a nightmare; oh it's a self booting cdi file btw.

What media are you burning to? As in what brand cdr

Don't forget that some models of DCs will not read backup games.
Check the internet and see if your DC matches the models that work
