Sorry to be a newbie, but how do you boot CD-Rs? Do you need a mod-chip or something?

Yeah, i did all that and it booted up, but only it freezes at the Inducer screen with bannana and dreamcast. Pressing Start makes the screen disappear, but it goes black, and there is no files listed - can somebody help?

Well, I'm not sure why there are no files listed, but I can tell you why the screen disappears when you press Start. Pressing Start in DreamInducer will actually exit the program (if you're not loading it over a cable, it will basically just result in a black screen of death). You need to press A in order to select something.

Are you certain that you extracted all of your SBI files?

Can somebody explain this to me set-by-step, as i can not get this work!

The link above to DChelp is really all you need, as someone said don't press start as it exits the program and the reason you don't have any files listed is because you didnt put any in the SBI folder before you extracted (nothing).

Just look at the tutorial on the link, its really easy and helps you step by step. When i first got into the DC scene i wasted well over 20 CD-Rs trying to get the bloody thing to work when really its pretty simple

good luck.

Shanic, have you got anything running on you dc?

go to dcevo and download one of there cd images, as i most of them are made with inducer.

i still think that one of the files (sbi files) is breaking it for you

Just a little question for VTA - where do you put your roms?

I think before you extract there should be a folder inside the emu that is usually named 'roms'. However it might be after you extract in the SBI folder, can't remember havent burnt any emu's in ages, for a test the easiest thing to burn is a simple homebrew game you can download from this site.
