First, you're not getting an AUDIO disc, but rather a disc that the Dreamcast cannot understand, so it defaults to the audio player.

Second, don't burn .CDI files using Fireburner. Use Disc Juggler instead (only), or convert them to .NRG files and burn with Nero.

1. Like Wayne said above. Use Disc Juggler to burn .cdi images

2. If the cdi file you're burning has only one session and (you know) the game is self boot, then the cdi file you have is kurrupt and what happes then, is that DiskJuggler doesn't understand the format it should burn the file in (mode1/mode2 audio/cd/xa) and defaults to audio (mode1). I've had this happen a couple of times when i pressed start (in DJ) and burned the image without noticing that DJ could not detect the image format. DiskJuggler will tell you if it cannot detect the image format and will default to audio. If DiskJuggler tells you it can't detect the format of a cdi file (DiskJuggler format) then you know your image is kurrupt and chances are you have to redownload the whole image again. DJ will tell you the format of the CDI file right underneath the souce file name. Should be 2 sessions and at least 2 tracks for selfbooting games

3. Here's another problem that happened to me. I had images of old games releases Ferrari F355 Challenge, Jimmy White's Cueball. These were released by Kalipso. The images were in .bin and .cue format. You're supposed to use Fireburner or CDRWin to burn these types of images. BUT... When i burned them with CDRWin, they didn't work. I tryed burning one of these bin images with Nero and selected to burn them in RAW mode. Then they worked fine. I'm just guessing here that the .cue i had was wrong. Did the group released it with the wrong .cue file? I don't know, but it worked fine after i burned them in RAW mode.
