I had a hard time finding an older version of DiscJuggler that wouldn't limit me to 700mb per disc burning. Now that I have finally found one, I thought I'd share the link with you guys here in case anyone, now or in the future, wanted it.

It's free and doesn't have a time limit, so it's great for thrifty people. This is version 4.10.1084, to be exact.

Uhhh, heh. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I realized that I wasn't noticing something. (It took a youtube tutorial for me to see it) When it asks for a source, the image itself that it shows you is actually a button, and by pressing on it you activate the search for your desired .cdi file.

Sorry to put you through all that trouble, DarkHyren.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the clear yet. Upon my clicking the "write" button, the demo program protests at burning anything more than 700MB exactly and assures me that it will cease it's work at 700MB burned and no later. : /

Maybe I'll try the demo version of Alcohol 120&, but since you can use it only for a limited time, I'll be sure to download all my Dreamcast back-ups first. No easy (or short) task.

Edit: Thanks for the info, Rasen.

I researched a little more and apparently there *are* still private servers, but certain Dreamcast versions of the game can't connect due to a "Hunter's License check" built into the software. They can't connect, that is, without using action replay codes to bypass that. I am 99% sure that this must have been what the topic I first saw was talking about, because I remember it mentioning AR multiple time.

Thanks aplenty.

I'm not sure though that I understand the concept of overburning. Is there any detriment to game data when you overburn?

I did read that FAQ before I posted, actually.

I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to get on people's bad sides if I can help it, you see. XD

I wasn't really all that thorough in my search, to tell the truth. I wasn't looking too hard. I guess I was curious because I was given PSO Ver.2 by a friend back when the gamecube version came out, and I was like, "Okay, but what do I do with this?" XD

I've never played an MMO before, mainly because I have yet to acquire a steady income to pay for monthly fees.

I downloaded Skies of Arcadia (the full version), but when I tried extracting it, it said the file was corrupted. I then downloaded SoA the other way (part 1 of disc 1), but when I tried extracting that, it said those weren't good either. : /

Can someone check on this to see if it's just me?

Okay, so I was searching another forum for info on how you actually uses a Utopia boot disc once you've made it, and I came across topics talking about the Dreamcast version of PSO with lots of jargon in it, but it made me ask myself, can you still go online with that game? I thought MMOs used servers that needed to be kept up by the game's company. Can you even still connect to the internet with a Dreamcast?

A clear answer would be received with lots of love.

My original Soul Caliber disc kind of borks, so I was hoping to make a new one, but I've run into a couple problems. I should probably start by asking you a couple questions, DarkHyren.

First, when you say to burn .cdi files with DiscJuggler, do you also mean the demo version of it, even though this version says you can't burn more than 700MB of data? (I'm guessing this is what you were referring to when talking about the overburn option.)

Secondly, what version of DiscJuggler do you use? I downloaded the most recent one, 6.00.1400, today. I think they changed some of the relevant wording--such as, instead of "burn CD and DVD images", they have "burn disc images"--nothing any competent person can't see through. But I don't know what procedures they might have changed. ...Which leads into my problem.

When choosing a source to burn to a CD-R, you say to select the .cdi that you want, but my program offers no files to choose from at all. I tried clicking file, then open, in an attempt to upload it, (or, alternately, find the the .cdi file in Windows browser and open it with Discjuggler), but then I get an error box declaring, "Runtime error! This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way." Discuggler then promptly closes. Simply put, I'm not sure what to do now. The .cdi file works fine on nullDC, so I don't think that's the problem.

One final thing: is there any place where you can buy 800MB or higher CD-Rs?

Many thanks in advance for all help and advice given!

Hey there, everyone!

This is my reason for joining: Some of my old Dreamcast games refuse to be scanned properly anymore, so I thought I'd come here and read up some topics on how to make new discs from ISOs.

But who knows what else I might learn while on this board. I hope we all get along.
