Unfortunately yeah, this mds/mdf is causing trouble. Imgburn supports that format but has trouble opening this one, as does this MDF to ISO tool.

Seems to be the provided mds/mdf files themselves.

Try ISOBUSTER to extract the files. Then BootDreams to make a CDI.

OMG this is crazy! Thank you for your hard work on getting this classic run on Dreamcast. I love how you casually drop in and mention you have it running on a HD resolution on Dreamcast, 2024 truly is the year of the Dreamcast!
