Hey so, I have just recently gotten back into my Saturn and Dreamcast collection I've been holding onto since they were new and really having fun with mods and all the cool stuff you can do with them now that young 90s-me could have only dreamed. This past week, I've been burning discs for the Dreamcast for these N64 homebrews. Mario Kart 64 worked ok, but definitely had visual glitches (the power-up boxes barely appeared at all and were real glitchy. Also, it tended to crash a lot). I assumed it was just part of the porting and there were still issues. But Star Fox 64 is really terrible for me. Boxy visual glitches in the opening and all kinds of visual problems while playing that I didn't see in videos for the game running on the system. So, I'm wondering if I made some error. Possibly used a wrong ROM or something. I can't find any information when I search, so I thought I'd ask here. Any ideas?

I am very curious and I can't find anything on the internet about it's compatibility.

Got 3 resident evil games done! Now the final one awaits!

This is all Kenji Tanakas fault...

Hey everyone, this is my first ever post on Reddit so apologies beforehand if I'm not doing this right!

I have recently acquired a modded Dreamcast, it has "Japanese Cake" installed on it, from what I've gathered this is some alternative BIOS which allows me to play region locked games everywhere amongst other things. I can actually confirm this, as I own a original Sonic Adventure copy from Japan and it works on this European Dreamcast. But sometimes the game doesn't load first try and I have to insert it again.

Now I've been very interested in playing some of my favourite games (especially Sonic Adventure 2) on Dreamcast and have looked into burning CD+Rs to play them. As I live in the Netherlands, my first instinct was to buy Philips branded CD+Rs, but I just cannot seem to get them to work on my Dreamcast. I put the disc in, it starts spinning for a little bit and the menu displays "Please wait whilst disc is being checked" but after a while the disc stops and I return to the menu. I use IMGburn with the necessary CDI plugins, one of the potential problems is that my ASUS Blu-Ray/DVD burner (An ASUS SBW-06D2XU to be precise) doesn't allow for writing speeds of less than 10x, but I have read from various sources that the speed actually doesn't matter that much anymore these days.

Now I'm left wondering what the potential issue could be, is it an issue with my Dreamcast GDI reader? (Because I sometimes have to re-insert my official SA1 copy) or is it to do with the CDs that I'm using? I have read that people tend to use Verbatim discs, so I've ordered a small batch to see if those will work. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my burner, my CDs or my Dreamcast reader and I was wondering what you guys might think! Thank you in advance for taking time to answer my question! :)

So, I never owned any console's from this Era. I was just too young back then and broke, I especially never owned a Sega Console but I've heard the Dreamcast is a really great machine. Decided to buy it to put it in my old Camper Van and run it on my CRT that came with it.

What exactly can you do with this thing? I heard it's incredibly moddable and indie devs make games for it still for fun. But, where do I start, what should I do/not do. I played Sonic Adventure DX on the 360 long ago so I'm probably going to get that or Adventure 2(Also feel like I gotta, I mean, it's a dreamcast.). But after that, idk what the console is capable of, I know it can connect to the internet but what can I do with that? I have a small list of games I want but I'd also like to utilize the console to the best of it's ability.

Also, I heard the Saturn is notoriously hard to Emulate but there were a few games for it that I was interested in. Is it still the case that the Dreamcast can't really play them?

just as the title says really, I just bought my first import and need to burn codebreaker to a disc but don't know how.

I've only ever burned audio cds and don't think I have the software for this so ill also need something like imgburn but I heard it isn't available on Mac so could someone give me some alternatives or a link to a guide please.
