I'm talking about fast striker, or any other game that downloads in multiple parts.

I'm making a split archive? For some reason it says I don't have enough of something

No, I suspect you are trying to download a split archive.  If fast striker has parts 1,2,etc - it has been compressed and split.  Download all parts into same directory.  Double click the first part, and there should be a disk image in there.  Extract the image and burn it.  You can't extract or burn it until you have all the parts.

What date is your dreamcast manufactured? Older rips (audio+data tracks) may not be compatible with dreamcasts older than october 2000 iirc. Those are compatible with most newer rips (data+data tracks).

Well I heard that was a ''myth'' as a lot of the games are working. I just downloaded Gunlord and dam it is good. But Fast Striker is composed of 2 files and it's confusing. I also had problems with World Series Baseball 2k2 and Daytona USA. My DC does in fact have a number 2 on it but it has been playing most of the games and they say that, that is fully a myth by Sega.

When you say burn it, you mean to a disc?

Tired downloading Speed Devils and said file interrupted. Weird how one of the racing games have worked, but the shumps have been working.

This has turned into a how to be a pirate thread.  I'm out.

To ensure your games work, buy the originals.

.cdi are discjuggler images, the demo versions force the lowest speed, never had a problem with it...

Ah, I will try that. Thanks.

the demo's also force a limit, think its 700MB, there are ways around that...

Good luck getting much more than 700MB on to a CD :/

Oh come on.  It's a 100% secondhand market.   hell, according to Sony and Microsoft logic, buying secondhand is essentially piracy :P

Not sure why we have to tone it down too much with piracy. I just look at it as an option, I'm still a collector. But I think he also told me that collecting and spending a lot of money is a fools mans game. So with that said, a lot of Dreamcast games can be crazy expensive and I just have no choice but to try to get it the cheapest way I can. I don't see why it matters. Sega cares? I mean when you buy a game on Ebay, the company doesn't make any money anyways. Plus, this is the Cover Project. We can make our own covers for burned games and I think it's an acceptable option.

But it's harder for me to do this than it is for others. Something is up with my PC. It was working a few days ago, but now I can't burn anything. I don't know if it's the files or if it's Alcohol or Disc Jugglar.

Just because something is expensive means you should be able to pirate it for free?  Crazy logic there.

It certainly was not me who told you collecting and spending money was a fools game!  My collection is over 3500 ORIGINAL games across over 40 different systems.

The stance on piracy is because its site rules.  Please respect them.  You can pirate whatever you like, but this site is not going to aid you to do it.

Our ethos is about collecting originals, not helping pirates make their collections look pretty.  If you want to talk about pirating games, please do it elsewhere.

I don't know what my friend did to my PC. His job was to fix it. It was working decently well for the ISO's when it was infected. As soon as he fixed up the PC, not a single ISo file works. Every game just goes to a track 1 screen.
