Good afternoon,
For a while, I've been lurking on some of the DREAMCAST Homebrew forums. There's a lot of really exciting stuff being made for the Dreamcast and I'd love to be running it on my own Dreamcast.
I'll cut to the chase in that I'm not a programmer or coder. I don't like to mess around with my computer to optimize it. I just want to click a few buttons and get playing.
When I come to this site, I start seeing things like "If you get stack errors" or "DiskJuggler Format" or "SelfBoot Inducing" etc and it's greek to me! And I suspect, amongst the millions of DC owners who want to try out these great new games and utilities on their Dreamcast, I'm probably in the majority.
So let me ask this question! For people like me that don't know what a "stack error" is or even want to know, is there an easy program that let's people like me stick in a blank CD, click a few buttons and create a DREAMCAST disc?
Ideally, I'd love to literally have a workflow like this:
1. Download the Dreamcast file to a folder on my hard drive.
2. Add the folder to a list of files for my CD.
3. Click BURN.
4. Put it in my Dreamcast and play.
The KISS principle -- really simple for people like me!
I made a little fake mockup, which I've attached? Does something like this exist on Windows or Macintosh?
