If you want to copy existing original Dreamcast games (Sega Dreamcast logo on the disc), don't even attempt to copy them using a standard CD burner.

It is literally **IMPOSSIBLE**

To copy these games ("copy" is an inaccurate term here) you must use a special serial cable to hook the Dreamcast up to your PC, and using Serial/Slave software on the Dreamcast and TerraTerm on your PC, you *RIP* the disc's data. Then you extract the data from the images, hack the data, downsample whatever movies and audio you have, as necessary to permit it to fit a 700mb disc, and then you burn the data to a disc and hope you have done it correctly. If not, it just won't work and you try again.

This takes plenty of time (overnight just to rip the disc). It's not recommended for individuals who aren't very technically oriented.
