Aren't your game already selfboot (if so they don't need the boot disc).

Otherwise, which games don't work ?

I tried Silent Scope without Bood disc, and it works.

But unfortunatelly THPS2 doesn´t. It loads very heavy, load and often from the cd, and then this included audio-program (included with Dreamcast Console itself) shows 2 tracks, but nothing happens anymore.

Damn, argh!!!

If it shows 2 sessions, it's bound to be selfboot.

There's a LBA patch on DC Copy World for Tony Hawk 2.
I'm quite sure your burner doesn't support LBA = 11700.
You should try to patch your CDI file and then burn it.

When you view the CD in Explorer, which session shows up. The audo or data session?

It should show data session.
To be sure, you should open your image with CDMage. It will tell you how many session your disk contains.

I've had similar problems to this, where only the first session shows up. Converting a cdi to a nero image and burning at track at once seems to resolve the problem. If I try burning with disc-at-once I get only the first session (audio) show up and the resulting CD is unusable.
