Burning a boot disc should be the same as burning a game disc. Most Dreamcast Homebrew is selfboot these days though.

I would recommend that you go with Codebreaker. It will patch most non VGA games so that they work as well as having cheat codes that some games use to redirect to updated online gaming servers. In the long run it is going to be a far more beneficial boot disc.

I use same settings in Padus Discjuggler for every task and damn my unit likes high-speed DJin

Dreamcast Import Enabler AKA DC-IE much finer than DC-X , and yes , Codebreaker is great to have too as it is double bypass , cable+region for those few titles simply missing the VGA flag

I have the same question. I'm afraid I'm not super technical but I would love to burn or buy a burned codebreaker boot disk. Is there a download where I can find codebreaker? All of the links I've find no longer work. I'm assuming I need a CD-RW or CD-R to burn this plus a drive that writes? Thanks and please excuse the ignorance!

http://theisozone.com/downloads/dreamca ... e-breaker/ for 210mb mini CD-Rs

http://theisozone.com/downloads/dreamca ... ootloader/ for full-sized CD-R dummied Codebreaker

CB only supports authentics the GDs , for burns Codebreaking you would need yet another boot disc that won't work for me
