Help with dummy file
 

I just d/l sportjam ,it is a 703Mb nero boot image file.The problem that i have is that my burner "Yamam 6x4x16" has a problem and it cant write cds more than ~350 Mb (If i try to copy a bigger file i have a following track error{it is a hardware error} ).I notice that the actual size of the game is no more than 200Mb then i understand that is the dummy file that filing that differce.(I also see that with nero image drive: dummy.dat 467MB).So I have only to solution ,or buy /fixed a cdRw drive or reduce the dummy file.And i want to tell me how can i reduce it or even if i can remake the cd without it (even not bootable cd ,i have utopia)

If your drive won't work on discs larger than 350mb, get a new drive!!!!!

****ALL**** CD Burners, no matter how ancient they are, should burn at least a 650mb, 74 minute CD-R.

If you are only getting a little more than half this without trashing the disc, your drive is garbage and you'll need to replace it.

Most Dreamcast games are going to completely fill up a 74 minute disc (650mb) and some even require an 80 minute disc or larger.

I know that i have to change it and i will ,but not until may.So do any one know how to reduce the dummy file or to remake the cd with out it?If i copy all the files to a temp dir ,howe can i make a bootable cd or a non-boot but readable from utopia?

No dummy file needed
 

You don't need any dummy file.

You can follow Echelon's tutorial to remake your CD without this dummy file. It will work fine.

Ok i resolved the prob with echelon's tutorial. Thx Megalexxx
