You can't copy dreamcast games with clonecd. But you can do it with discjuggler. You need a special cable to rip the gd-data from dreamcast to Pc. Then you can burn it with discjuggler.
The second option is that you download edonkey from edonkey2000.com. There you can find many dreamcast-games. You have only to burn them. When you are in edonkey just click to search. Then you should click to the extendet surch button with an interval of 2 seconds several times. So you do sure that it search on other servers too.

You are incorrect!!

You have to use the special cable (DC to PC Serial cable), true enough. You must use a software package on the Dreamcast called Serial/Slave (or something similar) and a program called TerraTerm on the PC.

Once the game has been *RIPPED* from the Dreamcast, it is still not ready to burn to the disc. It must be extracted and downsampled and some features may have to be ripped out to allow the game to fit a standard 700mb disc. In addition, the game files must be hacked so they work on a standard CD-R.

If even one step listed above isn't performed or is performed incorrectly, the disc you burn won't work.

With that said, good luck if you decide to try. If not, 'tis a wise decision...
