Can anyone tell me how to copy DC games please

[Dummy]

I have read most of the forums, however, I still don't understand how to backup a DC games correctly. Can anyone kind enough to tell me where am I able to find information that are detail enough so I can do it myself? Thank You

boy, you chose a great nickname :P.... first off, you need to make/buy/steal a dreamcast to pc serial cable (lik-sang.com for 25 bucks) then download the gd ripping toolkit from this site. Install terraterm, make a connection w/ your dreamcast (using the included serial slave), replalce the cd w/ the gd you want to rip. Follow the instructions to send the dreamrip program thru the comport and it will start ripping (slowly, 11 kilobytes per second to be exact) so it will take from 12-20 hours for the average cd (apparently 24 is the most it will ever take). Youll end up w/ a standard data track and raw audio. use the dc burn program to make a selfboot game... you can tell if its cdda if you end up w/ a bunch of audio files (note, these can be replaced w/ any file you wish, as long as you don't make it to big. this is a great way to make games smaller if they are bigger than cds.) If its still too big, use the sega movie encoder to downsample the movies, make audio mono or lower quality, etc. There are tools here to get by certain protections but i havent ran in to any b4 so i dunno.... good luck, you'll need it dummy
