Tutorial: How to create and/or burn a Dreamcast disc in 5 minutes

[Darksaviour69]

try burning a image from http://www.dcevolution.net/

There goes 4 perfectly good CDRs...
This is just not workin for me. I can't get my Dreamcast to read any type of homebrew discs. I'm not sure what's wrong and it's pissing me off
Can someone point me in the direction of another good, DETAILED guide?
You see, what I'm trying to accomplish is an emulated SNES in my car. You see, I have a new 7inch TFT LCD visor TV and I have already played a gamecube in my car with blasting sound, now, I think it would be sweet to have a bunch of SNES games playable.

hmm if you can't get a image from dcevo working maybe your dc can't run homebrew

check this guide

I thought about that and pray that it's not one of those few DCs that can't. But, I did get mine a little later in the DC years... I'll check you guys' posts and look of the info and downloads. Thanks a bunch!

I tried using dcstella. it loaded a picture with atari 2600 onto the screen, and the atari logo onto the memory card, but nothing else. does that mean my dreamcast is capable of homebrew and Im just not doing it right? I got it at the GoodWill so i don't know when it was made.

Yes.

Doing your own emu discs is fun I heard...

Issues I came across trying to burn a Data/Data cdi image from DCEvo on a Debian (Ubuntu 7.10):

- cdirip source found at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdimagetools/

- cdrecord should be ran as root process

- cdrecord was interrupted by nautilus-cd-burner deamon or/and other automount auto[action] utilities.
(so I had to finaly remove this software).

- cdrecord versions significantly vary in flags so one must search the man pages to make sure "mode 2 form 1 with data size *2048" is selected.
man cdrecord and go to section TRACK OPTIONS

a more right sequence of command for data/data images should be:

cdirip <cdi-image> -cdrecord
[generates "tdata01.iso" (data) and "tdata02.iso" (bootstrap)]

sudo cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=4 driveropts=burnfree -tao -multi tdata01.iso
sudo cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=4 driveropts=burnfree -tao -xa tdata02.iso

(-multi and -xa define the correct mode in Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a33.
Also, -xa alone fixates the disc.)
