    Default How to play backed up games on DC?

    How do you get a backed up game to play on the DC?I burnt Jet Set Radio onto a cdr and tried it and it doesn't play.Is there anything else I need to get backed up DC games to play?

    Check our guides section, and your DC has to have been manufactured before... err... Nov 2000 or something like that.

    Mine was manufactured June 2000, so Im good.
    Can it only play region specific games, I know Jet Set Radio is Euro and I got a U.S. DC.

    A NTSC Dreamcast should be able to play any game released in NTSC format...Japanese included

    That's awesome, so many great games to play on DC, eh too bad the good ones are hard to find(even though I got a pretty good collection myself )

    By the way, you have to burn the iso's onto a CD right, not a DVD?

    Yeah, everything has to be put on a CD-R for a dreamcast. I recommend Alcohol 120% to burn everything. Use RAW/DAO settings, and burn at 4X (or as slow as possible)

    Yeah I've been using Alcohol to burn all my iso's, so I got that ready.Thanks Sprung for the info, DreamCast is pretty easy to play backups on, alot easier than I thought.

    yea also remember some games require a 90 min cdr like D2 while other isos sometimes just require a 5 or 20 mb overburn on a normal 700 mb/80 min like shenmue 2
