If Mac users were wondering this is how u burn DC games on Mac...

What you need- Mac Pack 4 and Toast, these can be downloaded at ###############. And note that it is IMPOSSIBLE TO BURN DISC TO DISC WITH DREAMCAST GAMES, you actually can but it requires you to connect your Dreamcast to your PC.
Dreamcast games are usually in DiscJuggler .cdi format, you can download Dreamcast games at many web sites, try this for example, ################ They are segmented into .rar files. You have to download all the files and there may be a lot, extract the first file with MacRAR (its in Mac Pack 4.0) and the all of the files automatically extract. If the file you have downloaded is .exe then you have to open it w/ Unpackr 1.0 (its in Mac Pack 4.0). Once you have your .cdi file. You have two choices. On the one hand, you can try to burn it w/ DiscJuggler under Virtual PC (not very reliable but for some of us it works) ; on the other hand you can try to burn it with Toast. But Toast won't recognize it as a cdi image so you have to open the .cdi with CDIRip 0.5 (in Mac Pack 4.0). Then you'll get your .iso and your audio track (note, the file names should be something like Session 1 Track 01 audio and Session 2 Track 02 data. Actually, the number of data and audio tracks depend on the game. Then....

Burning the First Session:
If you have an Audio track as the first track: Open Up Toast (I would use Toast 4.0 as the audio displays differently in each version) Now select Audio CD and grab your AIFF file that you have just converted and drag it to Toast. If you have more than 1 Audio track drag all of them to toast. It should come up with the track time and so on. Now click Write CD and when it asks choose "Write Session". It will take a few minutes and then you will have the first session done. So eject the disc and read on.
If you have an ISO track as the first track: Open Up Toast and select Multitrack CD-ROM XA and grab your First ISO track and drag it to the window. Now click Write CD and when it asks choose "Write Session". It will take a few minutes and then you will have the first session done. So eject the disc and read on. *Please don't worry if the first ISO is quite large, it is possible that the first session can be larger than the second, and also in regards to audio it is common if a game has more than 1 track that it is stored in the first session. Also if an nfo says it needs an 80 minute cd (even if the data will fit on a 74 min) use an 80 minute cd*

Burning the Second Session:
Close that toast window and ####t it up again. Select the Multitrack CD-ROM XA (make sure it hasn't got "audio tracks" underneath) and drag your ISO to the window. It should accept it, if not you have a problem. It will be 2056 bytes/sector and then click ok to go back to the main Toast window. Now just write the CD and when it asks choose "Write Disc" as you don't want a session.
If in the advent you have audio as the second session, please just burn as a normal audio cd.

To play the burned game just insert the burned game press ####t on your Dreamcast and it should ####t up and play.
