    Default Jet Grind Radio won't run on my DC

    Hello lovely people! I am here again to bother you with questions that have likely simple answers.

    I've been burning images of JGR that I've downloaded off places (EP included) and none of them DC recognizes as a game disc.

    Burning had no problems - used IMGBurn with the pftoc files and burnt it fine.

    I burnt Ikaruga, Cannon Spike and Sonic Adventure the same way, and all work well.

    Ah, just realized, is there any way to tell whether a game is self booting or not?

    EDIT: The rip, I believe, is Echelon's (as the cdi is marked "ECH-JGR"). If it's not self bootable, would someone be kind enough to point me to (or share) a self booting one?

    My DC has a (1) on the underside, is not chipped, region US.

    The very old scene release is self booting aka Mil-CD I would guess that almost every copy of this game is

    What model region and date is on your dreamcast

    it could be that your DC can only handle data/data Mil-CD's and no able to handle audio/data Mil-CD's

    April 2000, region NTSC-U, I would guess by model you mean the encircled number, in which case, is 1.

    Burnt like 5 copies so far, none work

    Your model should be fine for all Mil-CD versions but you may of got a bad copy, I have newer rip of the game by DRES that should use a better sort, if you want to try it


    http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?83089 is worth looking at if you want to see what some of the newer rips are, I say some because there are a few newer ones not in that list yet

    Uploaded the game anyway at http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?90494

    If you still have problems then just retune the laser pot, but wait for me to get back to you on that unless you can find the info for doing that yourself preferably with exact info on what is best setting for the dreamcasts laser pot for CD-R's
