Little help for the n00b?

[Pow]

Heyop folks, I've just got a PAL DC and I'm having a few problems with it after playing some burned games. It was playing fine yesterday and for most of today (I played Ikaruga for a hour or so this morning), but now, after a short period of time, the dreamcast resets itself for no reason I can see. It happens on my burned games, and my official copy of Sega Rally 2.

Anyone got any ideas what's wrong?

I've read somewhere it could be a overheating problem.
There should be some posts about this on this forum. Look around.

Yeah, I did do, and cleaned inside of it last night. It's fine now.


On to my next problem, does anyone have a list of games that don't work with CDI2Nero, because the copies of Tokyo Extreme Racer 1 and Virtua Cop 2 I made using this (and Nero), don't seem to work on my PAL DC. They just boot to the music CD menu.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

If my memory serves me well, you need PAL patches for these games. Look on DC Copy World.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? These two games aren't selfbout by default :) you might want to try using the boot disc or use Bin2Boot to make then selfbooting
