If you write down everything that you do, you should have the list of steps you need to follow in order to burn everything else.
I know how easy it is to burn a pile of coasters--it took me 20 tries to burn my first DreamSNES disc. Until you're familiar with how it all works, you really need to pay careful attention to the tiniest details. After you've done it successfully a few times, it's really easy.
What exactly are you trying to burn to a CD? DreamSNES? SNES4ALL? NEO4ALL? etc. Tell me, and I'll take a crack at it and see if I can help you out.
cdrs are not cheaper for transfering data or using homebrew because you have to use more of them especially if in the process or trail and error 1 cdrw compared to 6 coasters O_o
Yeah, but he's trying to get homebrew to work on a DREAMCAST which doesnt support CD-RW media.Quote:

Onethirty - I was making the .cdi from plain files in bootdreams, then burning through bootdreams.
Taco - dreamSNES, i heard it was best. If not point me in the right direction. =)
Cheers guys.

Ok, DreamSNES is a little harder to get to work, so try this tutorial I just made:Quote:

Open the DreamSNES folder and put the "IP.BIN" file in the "DreamSNES\cd" directory.
Put your Super Nintendo Roms (European Roms recommended because of the slower frame rate) in Dreamsnes\cd\roms.
Download ROMLST.ZIP and save it to DreamSNES\cd\roms.
Open Romlst.exe and navigate through your hard drive to the roms folder. Once it finishes making the rom list for DreamSNES, there should be a file called "ROMS.LST" in your roms folder.
Once it's done making the list, open Boot Dreams. When you browse for the DreamSNES files, MAKE SURE to select the DreamSNES\cd folder (where you put IP.BIN earlier). Make the image with the program youre going to end up burning it with ((Alcohol 120% recommended)) or just burn it to a CD with Boot Dreams itself.
It should work in your Dreamcast after that :).
