    Default Dreamcast Burning

    Okay, this has been a frustrating day for Dreamcast Burning.

    Upon purchasing my dreamcast at an expo, I proceeded to burn a few games, 9 successfully and only needed utopia for Gauntlet Legends.

    fast forward a year later. I have moved unpacked and set up my toys, and there are a few titles I want for my dreamcast. The 9 I burned still work fine. but I have no notes or information from that time and how I was able to burn these CDI files to disk.
    My first go to attempt was Zorlon's imgburn with the 3 "drivers" (pfctoc) in the root.

    the games I burn load straight to music player. they WILL NOT BOOT.

    I then tried:
    DiscJuggler v6.0
    CloneCD 5.3.1.4
    BootDreams 106b

    I am running windows 7 ultimate 64bit
    burner is an LG cd/dvd writer "supermulti"
    I have tried 16x burn speed and even 1x speed based on advice from a thread here. in the same thread it was mentioned to ensure overburn is on and default. and in another thread "there is no reason to have overburn on"

    It embarasses me to even have to ask as it seems so very simple when I read instructions on here, and the fact that I had successfully accomplished this with little to no effort less than a year ago, wasting only one disc at the time. I have ruined 10 cd-r's today!

    Please someone throw me a bone, and I ask that one try not to be condescending as i realize how pathetic my inquiry is.

    Default

    overburn should be on by default, it does nothing if the disc image is small enough for the disc (so it can't do any harm) but if a disc image is more than what a CD can normally store then overburn kicks in, but if overburn is not enabled the burn will simply stop and the disc will not be closed correctly giving a coaster CD-R (that does not give a lot more space by the way just few MB) anything that targets 99min CD-R's though needs overburn on regardless as anything more than what a standard 80min CD-R can store must be overburned

    This may be an issue with your dreamcast though see http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?23311 for more info

    P.S. sorry for the late reply

    I missed this post totally

    P.P.S. give me a list of none working games as the other issue may be that they are not built correctly I know we currently have though I hope to help in fixing this, a bunch of none working Dreamcast cdi images on our main server, Utopia should not be required for a fully Mil-CD compatible Dreamcast that is all PAL dreamcasts and NTSC-U Dreamcasts dated Model 0 and 1 and model 2 dated October 2000 and earlier there are a few Dreamcasts mostly NTSC-U versions that only work with data/data Mil-CD's, this kinda sucks for any games with CDDA tracks though
