View Full Version : Burning Dreamcast Discs From Linux For Numpties

Hello Everyone,

I recently discovered the DC homebrew scene. I though I was stuffed as I ran linux and had no access to discjuggler which seemed to be the defacto standard.

I did some hunting and found this:

Using mkisofs and cdrecord to Burn a Dreamcast CD-R (http://curmudgeongamer.com/article.php?story=20040105232756356&mode=print)

Which came close to working. After a painfully long time I figured out the solution by RTFM. Have posted my results here:

Burning Dreamcast Discs From Linux (http://www.dougmcintosh.co.uk/index.php/Dreamcast_Linux)

The solution boils down to using /dev/hdc instead of the SCSI number for cdrecord :) But I also made a very poor bash script to make things easier for me.

I only post this here in case someone else is having a numpty attack :)

Thank you.

Douglas

Just and FYI - the second session should not have -multi at all... if you try burning another data session the disc possibly will not work!

The second session with -multi seems to work fine.

I have all the 8 bit consoles running using it just as described on the web page. Though not sure if it is required.

The only thing I have not been able to burn is a genesis emulator. I have no idea why.
