I have been prowling through this site desperately searching for an answer to my to my question and I have seen nothing that helps me in the least.So can someone tell me what I should do in burning an already copied game? I borrowed my friends SNKvsCapcom which of course was a copied game. I burned it like a normal CD-R and of course it didn't work,I was then told that they couldn't be burned like normal CD-R's so what then should I do? Please help me!!
AFAIK no game requires overburning, so unless you're using a very low quality cdr media or a really low quality cd burner or using CD to CD direct copy, everything should go smooth with, for example, Nero.
You can copy non-selfbootable games. But you can NOT copy selfbootable games.
I dont know how I managed to burn a selfbootable game, but I guess I was just lucky.
It seems that you can burn selfbootable games, if they are not "protected"...I think :P
Hope I could be of help : )

Are games that need boot CD's burned normally? Surely someone here can explain my questions in simpler terms.
u can copy both,selfbootable and non bootable games,tell your buddy to try it in his dc,and whats the mfg date of your DC,IF ITS NOV 2000 OR NEWER YOU MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM,if its a non bootable game u need dreamcast bootdisk,
