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. Most amazing jew boots |

Just try again with a different brand of media. Either that or your Dreamcast laser is wearing out.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

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.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
