    Default Odd file Types?

    I recently downloaded a file to back up one of my dreamcast games and it seems nearly impossible to put it onto a CD R. There were three files after I extracted the .rar which included: 30MB .sub file, a 2KB .ccd file, and a 770MB .img file. What programs and what process do I need to take in order to make this a dreamcast cd r? Please help.

    Thanks

    Alcohol 120% (www.alcohol-soft.com)
    Image Burning Wizard, RAW DAO, 8x, enjoy.

    People are going to recommend CloneCD, I don't recommend CloneCD for DC ISOs.

    That image is in CloneCD format. The ccd file is the file that discribes the structure of the image. The img file is the image itself and the sub file is all of the subchannel data which is not included in the image file. Usually it doesn't contain any important data especially for DC games and normal (non-copy protected) CDs but it is still needed to use the image.

    You can either use Alcohol 52/120% or CloneCD to burn (as Astaroth said Alcohol is better) or mount the image using a virtual drive such as Daemon Tools or Alocohol 120% (52% only contains the copy features without the virtual drives) and use a program like Nero to do a CD copy.

    Actually the sub contains the session information, and is especially needed for DC ISOs.
    The SUB file's what makes it different from BIN+CUE, it's got data in it "sub-channel" data - session info; and such.
