    Exclamation Virtual Tennis 2 [DC] - Help please

    So I downloaded Virtual Tennis 2 for the Dreamcast about a half hour ago and it ain't working.
    It's in CDI format and have always used Alcohol 120% to burn CDI images; they've always worked.
    I wasted 3 discs trying to burn it.
    I burned it in RAW DAO, DAO/SAO, and then made another image of one of the discs in Alcohol format [MDS/MDF] and burned that one, but it didn't work.
    I tried booting the discs with the Utopia Disc and with the Gameshark, but it didn't work.
    I've got Nero, Alcohol 120%, and Adeptec CD creator to burn my stuff and don't feel like getting any more programs to eat up my memory.
    And yes, I'm using CD-Rs.
    Help me out?

    I doubt it, I uploaded it and its fine when I play it....

    I already told him to use discjuggler and to burn at lowest speed.

    EDIT - Someone said this to me in the past, it turns out it was there DC laser that was bad, its fixable though.
    Raaagghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... hh..

    I presume it's self boot so Utopia wouldn't help anyway, oh and discjuggler will burn some Dreamcast games that Alcohol can't using any of it's settings.

    The free version of discjuggler will be fine and no settings will need to be changed (with some CD images DJ may ask if you want to repair or fix them, always say no for Dreamcast CD Images)

    Dreamcast Laser Calibration <- That the sort of thing your thinking of Xena?

    Ahh shit, I thought he said he'd used DiscJuggler for it. Woah, I haven't downloaded any DC games since I was back on 56k. Mentalism. Alcohol wasn't out then, so I have no idea how sucessful it is. I'd recommend you to always use DiscJuggler though, as I always had problems if I didn't.

    On the Advanced tab in DiscJuggler, the mode is on Audio.
    Should I change that [Mode 1/DVD, Mode 2] or leave it?

    I think leaving it as it is should be ok. Oh and if it asks you if you want to fix errors before burning say no, it will mess it up, I made this mistake once.

    Like yeah, enjoy the game

    I should put a big warning up on all my DC uploads "Do not use alcohol to burn!" Lol.

    Im uplaoding one now thats 688Mb when compressed, I bet you would need a bigger disc to fit this one on.
