    Default Burning CDI images larger than 700 megs

    This is my first attempt at burning anything to work in a dreamcast. I've read a number of threads and have a good idea of the process.

    I recently downloaded Sonic Adventure 2, which when extracted to a CDI image was 766 megabytes. The latest trial version of Disc Juggler will only allow for 700, and will cut off those last 66. That being said, the file couldn't fit entirely on one CD anyway. I attempted to burn anyway to see if would work. It didn't.

    Is there some process to go through to decrease the size of the image, or any way to get this file to run with the dreamcast?

    Have you tried burning it with Alcohol 120% yet?

    If that doesn't work then maybe you need 800 MB CD's to burn this game:

    I'll try Alcohol first. Is there anything I should know about the process for burning CDI's with Alcohol? Any settings I should make sure are on/off etc.?

    Well, Alcohol just bluescreened me upon trying to burn (not the first time this has happened). Any chance there might be some other program out there that will deal with CDI images well?

    Mount it with Daemon Tools or Alcohol (also you can check the real data to be burnt size by looking at the drive ), then just copy the disc in the virtual drive with whatever you like.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    If the image is >700MB, select the overburn option.

    Fixed. CDI size makes no difference to burning onto a CDR, take Ikaruga for example the CDI's about 760MB, it uses about 10 minutes on a disc.
