First tip:

Don't even try to back up original games. The backups won't work (they will only have the boot info and no game data). It's impossible to use a standard CD-R/CDRW to backup original Dreamcast games.

You will need to get a serial cable to attach your Dreamcast to your PC and use special software on both, to RIP the data. Then you have to extract the data from the files, hack it, downsample the A/V and possibly even cut out some functions before burning it into a usable disc.

Not an easy job. Just search the web and newsgroups for Dreamcast game images. It's a lot easier!

Word of advice, **DO NOT** ask for links to game images on these forums, otherwise you may be banned from posting in the future.
