    Default burning DC backups with DiscJuggler

    for those people who got problems with making backups with Discjuggler

    i found this guide some time ago and it worked for me
    //Guide+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    1) Open up DiscJuggler v3.5

    2) In the options menu and in the "Defaults" tab, DISABLE "TAO Write" (DC Backups copy in Disc-At-Once), on "RAW/Read Write", on "Overburn CD" and if you have an old burner like me disable "Burnproof". Keep the CHECK on "Add-Post Gap 3rd Party...".

    3) Go to New and select "CD Player to Image".

    4) Depending if you CD-ROM is on the list of supported drives (It's in the Help file somewhere...the List of supported CD-ROM drives) then you can use your CD-ROM as the source drive. But, I presume most of you guys here have fast CD-R drives that read CD's at high speed, so use your CD-R drive as the source to make a image file.

    5) Put the DC Backup in your CD-R Drive or in your CD-ROM drive....Read step 4

    6) Don't change ANYTHING in the "Advance" tab. NO need for "Raw" read!

    7) Make sure you have enough hard drive space and then make the image.

    8) Once the image is complete, close this task and go to "File", "New" and select "CD Image to CD Recorder".

    9) Open the image file wherever you saved it and put a blank CD in your CD-R drive. By the way, I using Kodak Ultima 80 min Gold + Silver Disc (High Quality)....I suggest using Kodak's or Verbatims, don't use sh!tty Generic CD-R brands.

    10) In the "Advanced" tab.....
    Boot games (Games that have 1 track and 1 session on the disc). Use these settings:

    Mode 1
    Offset 0
    Block...2048
    TOC....CD-ROM

    For games that are self-boot (Games that have 2 or 3 sessions on a disc), use these settings:

    Mode 2
    Offset 0
    Block....2336
    TOC......CD-XA

    I've been using these settings for all the backups that I have made and everything works!

    11) In the "Advanced" tab, there is NO NEED to enable "Raw Writes" or "Overburn CD". But DO enable "Add-post 3rd..."

    12) Start burning. Once it is done you should have a working backup copy.

    This is an excellent guide and I'm sure a lot of people will find it useful. As fro Marginal not working it could be a TOC protection on the game like so many others the Sega protected that way when they found out that copies could be played on the Dreamcast.

    I would try using Alcohol 120% for Marginal. I am pretty sure I burned it with Alchy (since I never burn with DJ) and my copy works fine
