Okay, burning Dreamcast games is probably the easiest thing I have ever done. When you download Dreamcast games, they are DISC Images, meaning they are like a snapshot of the information, on your computer. What you need, is a program that burns these CD images directly to the CD, this is where I used Alcohol 120%. You need to acquire this program, and use it, and you will be able to play Dreamcast games. I use DiscJuggler more often now, because I wasted 10+ Cd-R's on a game with Alcohol 120%, used Disc Juggler, and had it work the first time. So use Alcohol 120% or Disc Juggler, and "Burn Disc Images".

I'd recommend using DVD Decrypter, the burne dvd images works perfect on my ps2. i've noticed problems with alcohol 120% :yuck:

BTW , do you need a modchip to play burned Dreamcast games ?

No, you dont need a Modchip for the Dreamcast. And I have "backed-up" a total of 60 or so games, and never using a boot disc.
