Hiya i'm having big problems backing up CDs using DJ (and also Clone CD)
With DJ, the game reads fine (quake 3, dc), and then when i put the blank cd in, as soon as it starts to write the 2nd session on the cd, i get the following error and the cd stops burning:
Event: 17796
Description: (CDB: 2a000000000a00001000, Status: 040002, Sense: 052400) Illegal field in command description block

So any idea's anyone?

This has happened with numerous games, i've even tried it with some that I have copied before, but i get the same error....

I have tried using Clone CD also, the CD reads and writes ok, but when I try and play the game in the Dreamcast, it just reads it has an audio cd....

Also I tried burning the Utopia boot cd, and I get an error with that. When writing, the cache builds up to about 40% and then the cd slows down and i get an this error:

Event: 17804

Description: (CDB: 5b010200000000000000, Status: 040002, Sense: 052c00) Command sequence error or program area is or is not empty

-----------------------------

I'm using DJ 2.0 and i've also tried 3.0.
Got a Plextor 12/10/32A
And i've reformatted my drive, and i'm getting the same results...
Plus it doesn't explain why I was copying things fine before...

So anyone got any idea's?

Thanks in advance

My friend had a similiar problem until he switched to a different brand of cdr's. Sometimes you just get a bad pack of cdr's, try changing cdr's and see if that works.

Yeah try out another brand of CDR, I have been using Kodak CD-R ultima with info guard protection system, and I have never made any coasters..... 100% perfect copies all the time!

Although I have never tried to copy DC games direct, they work fine for making copies of copies.

you got j00d. hehe. try updating your aspi to the newest version, and if that doesn't work, re-install windows and update aspi. i had to do the second unfortunately. i get the same error in cdrecord too
