Dreamcast Games Won't Boot
 

I've downloaded several Dreamcast games, and so far only Rayman: The Great Escape will boot. All the other games (which were all in CDI format BTW and claimed to be self-booting) will not boot, even with the Utopia Boot Disc (versions 1.1 or 1.2). I have used Alcohol 120% and even Boot Dreams to burn the CDs @ 4x/8x and they still won't boot. Here's the games I've tried so far (that didn't boot):

Soul Calibur
Power Stone 2 (see if you can get this to work with this torrent: http://www.mininova.org/tor/232483)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2

I have followed the online steps to the letter and it still won't work. If I could at least get these to boot with the Utopia Boot CD I'd be very greatful.

Just try again with a different brand of media. Either that or your Dreamcast laser is wearing out.

If you have weak laser just skip DC logo every time you boot a game. If your laser is ok then try this: Sega Dreamcast Burning / Backup FAQ. That should help. Dreamcast is one of the consoles that need to have properly burned games, otherwise it will not tolerate them.

Any ideas what the best media would be? I'm eyaballing Fujifilm or TAIYO YUDEN right now (or even possible those gold music CD-Rs?).

BTW: For those who have downloaded numerous DC CDI, BIN/CUE and ISO images (and ran them successfully on a DC) tell me exactly what you did to get the games to work?
