OK i have two 700 mb CD-R discs here, a Dreamcast which is compatable and i want to know how i go about running Scummvm, Snes and the genesis on my dreamcast please
Don't post any links to guides unless they state obviously what to do! I want to know simply what to do to get them running on my Dreamcast and even possible how to have it so you can re write your disks after they have been written thanks
Ok, if you want to have a very quick solution, go to http://www.dcevolution.net and get ScummVM Volume1. Well, maybe you try using BootDreams for making other selfbootable images.
Can you post a direct download link please to Scummvm Volume 1.Quote:

Well thank you that helps a bit but how do i go about burning "homebrew and emulators" to disks im not bothered about DC games just the homebrew and emulators please
Well, you can use Alcohol120% to burn .cdi files to CD-R, or create + burn images yourself with BootDreams.
Here's some info about GenesisPlusDC:

Here's a tutorial on how to burn it:

Thanks that should do by the way a question can you put multiple emulators on one disk as in have a snes, genesis and a nes emulator on the same disk and for it to work?
AHHHHH for **** sake! that disk juggler is shit! I burned the demos to it thats all well and good but i thought that it would do multisession but it ****ing cant so its wasted my disk so i can re write what a piece of shit can someone point me in the way of something that will multi session my burning disks so i don't waste my last one please!
Erm, both BootDreams and Alcohol120% are capable of burning the DiscJuggler CDI format.
Alcohol120% even burns Nero's NRG format! Here's a link for the free trial version:

I do know that! My disk boots up and works fine but it doesn't write it by multi session i want to know what writes disks by multi session.
BY MULTI SESSION!!
Hey, let up on the caps and the "!" marks.Quote:

There is no way to get a selfbooteable image without multisession.
With SBI (Self boot inducer) you can create menus to put more than one homebrew aplication.
And, please, you should ask for things with respect.

Well clearly there not multisession as i cant re write onto my disc. I know that theres the self boot inducer ive been using that but what happens if i want add a few more roms onto the disk then ive wasted it right so there must be some sure way to re write it.Quote:

Calm down, young Padawan: All Dreamcast CDs technically are multi-session CDs with at least a data/data or audio/data track.
Also, when burning a .cdi in Alcohol120%, there's an option to leave your session open. When using BootDreams' CDRecord GUI you can also choose Multi-Session instead of Data/Data or Audio/Data.
However, the easiest solution for more programs on 1 CD would be to just use a binary launcher like DCHakker or DemoMenu. You boot up one of them and then swap with your MS disc.
In context with emulators you simply can burn a standard Mode-1 data disc with your games on it to swap with your emulator boot disc (if the emulator supports disc swapping that is). That's what I did for testing, to see if a game runs with a certain version of an emulator.
Well thank you but i downloaded Alcohol 120% and i don't see no multisession option look for your self:Quote:

Thanks DCemu for being a great scam unless if you can find out why it wont work which it should do as i followed the instructions correctly.
EDIT Didn't notice the post above. ^ ^
Just because something doesn't work exactly the way you imagined, doesn't mean it's bad per se.Quote:

Then you should try this if you insist on using multi-session discs:
