Right-click on the icon, and take it from there.
There's several options here and I literally have no idea what I'm doing. How do I use this to get Alcohol to accept my Shenmue 2 download?
You should try and check out "all those options" to familiarize yourself with Daemon Tools.
But here's the quick way for how to mount ISO's:
LEFT-Click on the icon, click where it says "Device blah-blah-blah Empty", and double-click the .mds file (the smaller of the 2)
If the mds/mdf file doesn't mount, then there's something wrong.
After I clicked the smaller of the 2 nothing happens. Apparently it has mounted but it's not doing anything. If I right-click the Daemon Toolz icon now it does say, after clicking the Virtual CD tab, that the Shenmue file is in there though. But no, nothing's happening.
Oh hold on a second, I tried a PS1 file instead and it seems to work with that. It's just this Shenmue 2 thing that isn't working.
Well, nothing's happening because nothing's supposed to happen when all you've done is just mount a DC game to Daemon Tools.
So, now what you need to do is use Alcohol to rip a new copy from the mounted ISO.
Then use Alcohol to burn the new copy.
Ok, after mounting it, I went back to Alcohol and reselected but it still says the same thing - unrecognised. Am I perhaps doing the wrong thing by reselecting it? I assumed it would now be mounted and would therefore work.
No, no, you don't want to mount it to Alcohol too.
Instead, open Alcohol > File > Image Making Wizard > under CD/DVD device, select the letter for Daemon Tools virtual drive (mine is J:)
Then for Datatype, select Play Station (because I think that's the one for Raw/DAO which is what you need for DreamCast, but I'm not 100% sure)
Then go to Next > choose where you want to save the new mds/mdf file and click Start.
At least that's how you do it with Alcohol 52% but I don't believe it's different from how you do it with Alcohol 120%.
Ok I'm following your instructions exactly and am currently at 5% burnt! I'll let you know if it's a success at the end.
EDIT - Oh wow I don't know what to say. I'd never have been able to do that on my own. Thanks a lot for your help!!
Those changes I made to my Alcohol in order to get it to burn Shenmue 2. Do I have to change them back to burn PS1 games like I could before or is it ok to leave?

I finished disc 1, loving it, but I've hit a slight snag again.
I've downloaded disc 2 and it's given a mass load of files. I don't know which one to extract?
