Burning Self Bootable Dreamcast Games on a Mac

[notesee]

Okay, it seems like there's a lot of avid Mac users and gamers on this forum .. so maybe one of you can help me.

I have a backed up copy of Shenmue 2 which runs perfect on my DC. A friend burned it for me years ago.

I've downloaded a couple disc images for a few Dreamcast games I'd like to burn to be able to play again, I currently have Toast 7 .. which doesn't seem to be doing the trick when it comes to burning images. I've been burning on 4x speed using DAO type for the audio.

I've tried .NRG, .CDI, and .BIN/.CUE files in Toast .. none of them end up working right on my DC. They just come up as an audio CD with one track.

Is there a better burning program for this type of task on the Mac? I can't seem to find a tutorial on this .. so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Toast should be able to do it. Here is a helpful site

Thanks, I actually just came across that site right after I posted this .. had to change a menu setting in Toast to be able to burn Multi Track CD Roms .. I should be able to get it to work now.

Hmm .. I'm still having trouble burning the games right .. fuck.

Yeah, I can hook you up with a copy of Shenmue 2 .. I think I still have a working download link for this game, lemme check.

If you want dreamcast games check out

underground-gamer.com

It's the largest bittorrent tracker with the largest selection of games pre-PS2 era.

Then just use nullDC to emulate your game

I wish I could find a DC emulator for Mac, but I don't believe there is one out right now. Westside .. you've got a PM.

I thought Burning Self was the name of a game, and you wanted to play it on your Mac using a Dreamcast emulator.

Nevermind.

I found a similar program called CDiRip .. which I used to turn a CDI file into two tracks to be burned using the Multi Track CD XA option in Toast 7.

But once I burned one of the tracks in Toast, I would put in the CD again for a second time to burn the second track and it would act like the CD-R isn't able to be written over again.

One problem I found in the Tutorial (Using Toast 6) was that it said I had to uncheck the "Close Disc" option when writing the first session. After looking through the program's baisc and advanced preferences, can't seem to find that option in Toast 7.

[polishmike]

Can't help you there, I only have Toast 6 on this computer.

Looks like I'll have to downgrade my burning steez.

Westside, what are you gonna use to burn the game?
