I need help copying DC games

New guy · #1 23-07-2001, 09:40

I hope someone here can help me. I have a 56k modem so I can't download the .CDI files, I have a friend that has a cable modem and he has downloaded the files and burnt them onto cd's. Now I am trying to copy his cd's, but every time I copy one and put it in the DC all that will appear is the DC logo and then the sega logo. I have tried using Disc-Juggler, CD Clone and Blind Write. Has anyone else had this problem, or is my cd burner not compatable? By the way, I have successfully burnt one game, but every attempt after that has failed. Please help.

When was your DC manufactured? (Look on the bottom of the unit.)

Registering helps too...

If you didn't see my email, my DC was manufactured in 1999. I am able to play the games that my friend has burnt from his .CDI files and I am able to play games that he copied from his cd's, but I am unable to copy his cd's using my pc. I get a black screen after the sega logo and the game never ####ts, but the vmu occsionally shows the name of the game I am attempting to play.

Very odd, indeed. The only thing that I could gather would be the actual copying process. I have read multiple posts that people copy backup to backup. I have yet do that succesful. What I would suggest would be to burn the actual CDI from your friend to disk. Then I would copy that CDI to your hard drive. I would then use DJ3 to make your backup.

Having you CDI files on CDR is wise anyway. Unless you have gigs upon gigs to spare. CDI's also compress nicely. You might get a savings of up to 30%.
