[joker23]

damn i meant a dreamcast game. how do i burn it?on nero

[WOX]

well i will tried to help you:
1. open nero.
2. open your nero image or game.
3. select iso.
4. select joliet.
5. character set iso 9600
6. format: mode 1
7. file name length iso level 2.

ok this should work fine i've always recomend if you have alcohol 120% burn it with this because it's easier.

Load the Utopia Boot CD first, wait for the reindeer to appear, eject and replace the Utopia Boot CD with your backup/import game, close the lid and it should load as normal.

you know, the utopia boot disc is really an obsolete method. the disc swapping isn't good for the machine, either. you should look around and find a software kit that converts the really early DC images (the ones that needed the boot disc) to self-booters. once you figure out how to do it, it is pretty reliable.

ive never needed a boot disk before dc just plays the games

[joker23]

the thing with the crome animal is that it twirls then it stops like if its scrathced and it looks like it wants to load but it doesent

[joker23]
