i got it to work after searching google some more until i found someone with a problem almost identical to mine. im sure that my problem was that i was burning it too high since i put it at my maximum write speed of 16x, but i was burning the .mds file with the raw dao option. this is what solved my problem: "If anyone would like to add the Dreamcast configuration profile directly into their Alcohol 120%, open up the file 'AxType.ini', and insert the following code. Then burn it using the datatype called Dreamcast from the pulldown. It self boots and everything! Woo!!!

i just enjoy the dc experience more than pc. im terrible at any pc game since i for some reason cant use a mouse and keyboard well at least not in fps games like counter strike. i know just downloading a different image seems simple but im on a dial up connection where im lucky if i get 4 kb/s for a download rate. i have mounted the mds file in daemon tools and tried playing it in chankast to see if it would work but no luck but then again i think i saw somewhere that it isnt compatible. but im pretty sure i burnt the mds image correctly in alcohol 120%. i mounted it with daemon tools and looked inside of its directory and there is no ip.bin or 1st read.bin so i dont think its a selfboot. just a 0winceos.bin file since it is a wince game but i dont know if that means anything. i gotta be doing something wrong here since it has plenty of seeds on it which leads me to believe that it isnt corrupt. it is only a 160mb rar file when you download it if any of you guys want to try it out and help me. i got the torrent over at mininova.org but i think that would be asking too much of you guys to download it and burn it. i will have one more go at burning yet another cd-r. is it possible that my dreamcast is only compatible with selfboot games? i have no idea. im glad you guys gave me any feedback at all since i posted this at other places and got nothing.

i downloaded worms world party recently which came in rar format of course, no sfv included. i decompressed it only to find an mds and mdf file. i searched around the net and found i should burn the mds file with alcohol 120%. so i do that pop in my boot disc wait then put in my other disc and i get the cd player screen with like 18 tracks spanning something like 68 minutes. so i converted the mds and mdf files to bin cue files and burnt the cue file which i made sure pointed to the bin file and same results as last time. so i opened up the cue file with notepad and it just doesnt seem quite right. you guys be the judge. i also made sure the 2 files have the same name with different extensions. i have never gotten a backup game that isnt selfboot so im in the dark on this. i have 3 or 4 backup games that work no problem on my october 2000 dreamcast. please help me FILE "WormsWorldParty.bin" BINARY REM SESSION 01 TRACK 01 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:06:00 TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:12:00 TRACK 04 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:18:00 TRACK 05 AUDIO INDEX 01 02:27:56 TRACK 06 AUDIO INDEX 01 06:45:09 TRACK 07 AUDIO INDEX 01 10:33:07 TRACK 08 AUDIO INDEX 01 14:51:67 TRACK 09 AUDIO INDEX 01 19:10:58 TRACK 10 AUDIO INDEX 01 23:27:56 TRACK 11 AUDIO INDEX 01 26:40:73 TRACK 12 AUDIO INDEX 01 29:25:60 TRACK 13 AUDIO INDEX 01 33:45:50 TRACK 14 AUDIO INDEX 01 36:52:46 TRACK 15 AUDIO INDEX 01 40:26:74 TRACK 16 AUDIO INDEX 01 44:42:45 TRACK 17 AUDIO INDEX 01 48:39:00 REM SESSION 02 TRACK 18 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 54:48:37
