    Great and funny way to show how to burn Dreamcast games, but you forgot to mention one thing: most CD-R are 80 minutes or 700 Mb, the GD-R could hold up to more than a 1Gb of data, this means that games that are over 1 Gb (mostly Sega´s) are going to be overburned and thus are going to have sound crunch and cripsy FMVs. Its important to say this.

    I really enjoyed your humor, and your tutorial was very easy to understand, even for a French person like me who struggles with subtitle translators lol.
    But I was mainly snooping around here to see if you’ve ever managed to mod a game like Sonic Adventure 2?
    I can't find any tool that gives me access to the inside of the disc... it's frustrating, I really want to figure it out...
    I'd like to import a mod (which I've already managed to do on most other versions of the game).

You'd have to remove the laser from your Dreamcast to put it in but you can stick GDIs onto a USB stick(or maybe SD card?) and put that in your gdemu and run your games from there.

    Are 700mb cd-r discs big enough for Dreamcast games?

    • @AustinTheKat
      @AustinTheKat  Рік тому +1

      I think that probably depends on how big the ROM file is

    • @marcoquezada4243
      @marcoquezada4243 6 місяців тому +1

      Technically no. As @megamanmarcheck pointed out the original discs are GD-ROMS with a 1 GB capacity. A GDI is the full image of the original. The only way you'll be able to use this image again on a DC is to put it again onto a GD-ROM or modify the DC to use the GD drive emulator boards and place the GDI on a SD card. Burning a native GD ROM requires discs that don't exist any more and a specialized burner that very few people have from the Katana development machines. The way a game from a GD ROM fits onto a 700 MB disc is by editing the image. This is what a CDI contains, a scaled down version of the original. To achieve this size reduction the editor may remove some animations, resample the audio or the video sequences, etc. Compressing data from GDI to CDI does not work because the DC has no decompression mechanism at that stage.
      One last thing. Using CD-R discs in the DC causes the laser unit to work differently than when it is reading a native GD ROM. I have no evidence of this but word on the street for many years is that it can accelerate the failure of the laser unit. Which is very unfortunate because no OEM replacements exist. The only way to replace one is to cannibalize it from another unit. So enjoy, but tread with caution. In the end the laser unit may wear out regardless so considering one of the emulator boards may be a good investment for when it does go. Long live the DC!

    The revision 2s not working is a myth. Revision type does not matter, the date does. Early rev 2s used the rev 1 bios. For example, I use a Rev 2 manufactured in Sept. 2000. The bios change didn’t come until Nov ( possibly late Oct but sources vary. The safe bet is Sept. 2000 or older.
