This makes me so happy. Look forward to trying it out
I burned 2 discs using ImgBurn and neither will boot up. I tried one at a full speed and one 4x speed just in case but no luck. Is there another setting I'm supposed to set for burning a dreamcast disc. I know for sure my dreamcast loads cdrs because i have done it before and just tried one of them and it worked.
Ah man this is cool as shit. My Dreamcast is long since dead though 
Tried the old school way with Discjuggler?

Same here, just wasted 3 CD-R's at different write speeds using imgburn. Typically I would burn @ like 4x speed but my drive only does 10x, 16x, or 24x. No luck at all.
I don't even get that far, keep asking me to select a file, and I have the same version they say to use, other discs burn fine...
Edit: It seems I had to re download
Edit Edit: No dice, grrrrrr
Edit Edit Edit: Tried to convert to bin/cue no go, converted to iso, burnt but no worky....
That's especially weird because I was wondering if it was a case of only certain CD burners working...but if you've done it before with the same CD burner then who knows.
Unless there's some special way to format images that makes it more likely for a burn to succeed, and maybe the Volgarr dev didn't do that?
Came looking for this, wasn't disappointed.
I am definitely going to check this out. I hope there's VMU stuff!

I tried an old burned game that came from the same drive and spool of cdr's and it worked fine.
Never give up!
I use a program called IMGBurn. There's a download and full tutorial on how to burn a Dreamcast image here.
breander already tried that program 3 times earlier in the thread, unfortunately.
Adding the support seems to have did the trick, burninating now...
adding the .cdi support makes it a happy camper...
I use this. You have to install IMGburn and then drop the CDI plugin in the install folder.
here is the direct link to the plugin

I have the MD5 if anyone cares : edbe205ab94d9cda0398e3deccb09a7b Volgarr.cdi
Oh hell yes. Time to dig out my CD-Rs and hope they still work. The Dreamcast was the greatest console purchase I've ever made, bar none. Still get 2-5 awesome titles a year to this day. Crazy to think it's homebrew scene puts the much more popular PS2's to shame. Though I'll admit the OG Xbox is still the strongest homebrew box of the 4 in that era. But DC gets the best new games.
I did the part where I had to download the dll and drop it in the installed folder just to get the discs to burn in the first place.
I even tried this from one of the links but no luck either.
Sorry, I hope you get it going...

Yes. Tried it on NullDC a second ago just to see but I want this badboy on my CRT.
On Imgburn: doesn't the latest version already have the CDi dll's included??

They still sell them?I think I'll go get myself some blank CD's later on today.
I wish this type of thing would happen more often
Stupid question, did you follow that IMGBurn tutorial exactly as shown (copy three files that are not just DLLs, make sure the directory is exactly as shown, make sure the exact versions specified are downloaded, etc.)?Just doesn't want to work for me.

Dug up my old install of Alcohol 120% and burned the game with zero issues. Quickly dug out the Dreamcast and hooked it up to a CRT, and played it for maybe 15 minutes, and kept dying before the first checkpoint :3
Sweet, finally an image of the game on a CRT. Going to have to boot this up. How hard is this game really?
Let's just say that it's humbling. Come back and post after you've beaten the first level.

I hope so, as I don't have any left. Not bought any in years.
I'll check and see if there are any in ASDA.
Yup exactly though i extremely doubt it would need the header or library files but I tried it anyways.

This is so fucking awesome, used to really be into Dreamcast homebrew.brings me back to the good old days of using disc juggler.

Not actually that important
Holy shit, wish I could buy it as a proper release with the art and everything.
Thankfully crisis has been adverted and I got my dreamcast reading discs again. Still no luck with all the discs I tried burning of Volgarr. Just for the hell of it I downloaded the unreleased Half Life for dreamcast and burned it to a disc and it booted up and played just fine. No idea why I can't get Volgarr to work.
