Mind you, an unfortunate side-effect of making a disc self-booting is that the music on games that use the DC's equivalent of Redbook Audio will be out of synch - it'll be playing the wrong tracks at the wrong times.
That said, there are ways to turn a nonselfboot disc into a selfboot disc, but I don't know any of them offhand. There might be some tutorials on DCEmulation; I'd check there first. |

The Dreamcast is capable of booting burned discs, but only if they're selfbootable. You either have to make them selfbootable before burning, or use a boot disc that makes the DC accept non-selfbootable discs. |

I have to find a way to bypass the whole "copy protection" thing. It reads the game but then it just goes to the DC menu. When I try to play it again it reads it, acts like its going to play, and then back to the menu. No wonder DreamCast didn't last long: it was too hard for the game makers to get their games to work! lol |

Try burning at 1x or 2x, it'll take about a half an hour to an hour but it should make it easier to read. |

I got the Dreamcast the week it came out (yeah, its old). I've looked all over the web for ways to make DC CDs, but each way is different, and on every one of them people complain that the game doesn't work right, if not at all. Usually I would just either play the ROM/ISO/whatever it is on my computer or simply buy it online, but its a fighting game that costs $300 for a good copy! (not that I think nobody knows that, I just don't want people that don't know what MvC2 is coming to tell me just to buy it.)
The most common way that I hear about is to simply burn it as an ISO, but then people say "When you download MvC2, open it and click on *insert title here* to change *insert title here* into *insert title here* and you're ready!" ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Every time I download the game, its just that: the game. There is no extra file for me to open, there isn't even a way to open MvC2 unless I use an emulator. I'm starting to think that they are talking about torrent files, but my computer can't run torrent! Is there something else I'm missing? |

If your Dreamcast has been manufactured after...
Dang, I forgot the date =X But all I know is that if your DC is made after some date, it has a protection system. |
| HyperHacker Posts: 3629/5072 |
The Dreamcast isn't much like other systems.  |
| Kailieann Posts: 461/808 |
If the Dreamcast is anything like other systems, it has built-in copy protection that prevents it from playing copied games.
There are various ways to get around this on other systems, but the Dreamcast.. I'm afraid I have no idea. But, try googling around about DC mod chips or boot disks. Hopefully you'll come up with something. |

Hello all! I'm having a large dilema: I want to burn a copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2. I found the DC file online, but when I burned it onto a disc my DC wouldn't recognize it. I've never burned a game before. What I did was simply download the file (it wasn't torrent) and burn the file on a cd (I've been told you have to use a certain type of disc...) as an ISO in Nero DiscBurner. Is there something I'm doing wrong? |
