dc game issues

[NirvanaFan13]

i downloaded Gundam Side Story 0079 from suprnova and burned it to cd. when i put it in my DC, right after the sega logo the screen would go blank and then go back to the bios menu! HELP!

Did you use a boot disc or modchip?

[NirvanaFan13]

my dc doesnt need a modchip and i have no friggen idea how to get utopia to work.

the game was a selfboot cdi

[JRZ2K4]

if its selfboot it should jsut work
if its not selfboot u ned utopia or some other method

just boot up utopia as if it was a normal

and when it loaded up jsut swap with the bootleg game

selfboot it should work as if its a reg game
you mgith have burned it wrong

i burned 2 copys, one didnt get past the sega logo the otherone got up to the black screen. think i should make a 3rd one?

What format is it and what program are you using to burn it?

If it is CDI and you are using Diskjuggler DON'T tell it to fix the image if it comes back with a msg that says the image is corrupt do you want to fix it.

If you do you could try making sure you burn at the slowest speed, this just help make a good burn

Also, before you burn it onto a disc, make sure you test the iso using Chankast first, if it works perfectly in Chankast, then it MUST work on a regular DC for sure. It is a good way to test the game without wasting blank discs.

The Gundam Side Story 0079 that is currently on SN is a Premium Japanese release disc. It REQUIRES a save file from the Japanese version.

Some info from DC Forums:
You NEED a save file from the original Japanese Gundam Side Story in order to play this. And no, a save file from the US version will not work. So, if you dont have the Japanese version, then I suggest using the Dream Passport 3. The save file is on there. I tried it and it works perfect.

If you don't have the Japanese Savefile, you can't play.

damn, i just wasted 2 hours.. lol

Only for my own personal growth, do you mean you literally have to extract the save file and burn it combo style into the DC CD?

Ah okay...no not really, thats even harder, hmm, ( only because I have a dreamcast gathering just in my room, I won it and never really got games for it you see -- DC games have HUGE tax to bring them in here and noone sells err... "backups" so I never really played hehe )
