Just put the disc in your dreamcast and it should boot up like a regular game.

Alright, it didn't work the first time because I didnt burn with Disc Juggler. So I'm going to do it on a new disc, is it burned as Mode 1 or Mode 2?

Sorry for the double post..

Can you give me the exact instructions? Like which boxes to check and which options to have when I burn the disc?

This is super lame, I'm following the directions on Blueswirl.org and the Start button for burning the CD is greyed out, I can't select it. I have a blank CD-R in the drive and it won't write it. I tried the verify option.. and it just opens my disc drive and says "invalid block address"

another option is (if you have Nero), get cdi2nero

drag n drop the cdi image on the exe & it'll be converted to a Nero img file, which you burn then. I've always done it like that & it worked every time up till now

sorry i missed all your earlier post, im sure i could have helped. to answer your question about mini games. put Dream exploer back in your DC. it has a mini game emulator on it. so you can try out some of the other mini games on your tv. if you like them i think you can save em to your VMU.

the VMU is pretty much just a memory card. it has some other features but most are some what useless. some Dreamcast games use the VMU screen. if you play resident evil code veronica your health is displayed on the VMU in the form of a heart beat.

if you play the 2k football games you can use the VMU to pick your plays. this option has to be turned on in the options menu someplace. but it is somewhat nice to use when you play a game with a friend that likes to watch you pick a play. my little bro use to do that to me. he would wait and see what play i took then he would pick his defense according to my play. its not perfect though cause the little VMU doesn't display the pictures of the plays. only words, so you got to know the plays.

im sure that there is a lot more but this is all i can think off of hand.

it has some real use in Sonic Shuffle, it displays the cards to every player individually, but to the screen they're all turned over

Does anyone know how to activate the other two options on my VMUs? I think it's notebook and something else.. All the Godzilla version has is Game, and Clock.
