Newbie need homebrew help, please.

Hey everyone. I'm new to this website and to homebrew games. I've been the proud owner of a Dreamcast for about 8 years now and was wondering about this whole "homebrew" gaming. From what I hear, it's easy to write these games to a CD-R and play it right off my DC, with no mod chip or anything! Sounds great, but I need help.

I've looked around at this and two other DC Homebrew sites to try to find out how to write these files to a CD. I downloaded "BootDreams" and have a .cdi game that I want to burn onto a disk. I tried using bootdreams (follwing instructions from DCHelp) to burn but the first try just didn't work and the second attempt would keep restarting my dreamcast.

I'm just new to this and want to continue using my DC by playing these games I see posted on these sites. Can someone please give me a step-by-step on how to do this?

Oh, i also have DiscJuggler application as well.
