Second, the laser is designed to read GDs, but not CDRs, so burned DC commercial games will wear out the laser sooner, breaking your DC.

Wrong. A GD-ROM is nothing more than a standard CD-ROM with a finer track pitch. Following your logic, using GDs instead of CDs should wear out the laser sooner, because a GD puts a greater stress on the laser than a CD.

BTW, the Dreamcast laser pickup is pretty strong so don't worry too much about it.

The graphics and sound are slightly worse than a real copy but it's barely noticeable.

I'll take that into consideration, also, when I get the CDI from the internet, do I just burn it from there using DiscJuggler, or is there a step in between?

[nurd]

That's all you do.

I just burned Soul Calibur and damn I forgot how great this game is. I really can't see any difference in graphics from this to the later ones on the PS2, Xbox, or GC. I miss 1999 when the Dreamcast was the shit.

I'm downloading Soul Calibur right now...I can't wait till it's done....

My computer is slow

I'm not interesting in using my Dreamcast for homebrew (the Xbox would do a far better job at that) but I am sorta curious what you guys recommend I check for as far as good DC games. I picked up a Dreamcast only in January because my buddy wanted to get rid of his. What's worthwhile on the DC? So far, I've got

Soul Calibur
Dead or Alive 2
Cannon Spike
Sonic Advenutre
Jet Set Radio

What else should I burn pick up?

[nintendodork]

Marvel VS. Capcom (1 or 2)  1 has Megaman..I'm not sure about 2
Crazy Taxi 1 and 2 are both good.  If you ever get a keyboard, get Typing of the Dead.  You'll like it's..unique gameplay

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Shenmue 1 and 2
Rez
Ikaruga
Power Stone 1 and 2
Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2
Chu Chu Rocket

Street Fighter III
South Park: Chef's Love Shack (if you have friends)

I just tried to make my own NesterDC SE CD with NesterDC SE CD Builder (version 1.0 - 2005/02/10) with approx. 2500 NES ROMs and I had no problems at all.

I used http://dcevolution.net/nesterdcse/master_library as the Master Library URL, selected DiscJuggler format and used Alcohol 120% to burn the resulting image, at 8X & RAW DAO writing method.

I thought it didn't add in ROMs that weren't in the database.

[MarioMania]

what speed in discjuggler do I use to burn DC games..I burned Super Street Fighter 2X at 16X..it worked , but my picky white D didn't read the 16X one..I burned another copy at 4X & it read it..

[LocalToast]

I always burn at a pretty low setting (4X-8X). I think it's better than burning at high speeds, but I don't really know.

[133MHz]

I burn them at 8X, the rationale behind low-speed burning is that it produces less errors, and console optical mechanisms tend to be really picky about that.
