billy_talent Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well I took my Sonic Adventure CD and I got my bios loaded, and when I load the game, it just goes to the music play screen, and doesnt actually start the game. Am I doing something wrong? PS Does the same for Jet Grind Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Is the "CD" an original or a copy? If it's the original, you can quit trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy_talent Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yes, SA, is original but JGR is mounted in Daemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Normal DVD-ROM drives can't read Dreamcast's GD-ROM discs. As for why the mounted image shows up as an audio CD, there can be a number of reasons. 1. The game is not selfboot. You need to either hack it to make it selfboot or use a bootdisc (not a guaranteed success).2. Use daemon Tools 3.29 if possible. It has different CD emulation code, so people have gotten DC games to work with that version.3. The CD image is borked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy_talent Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Can you link me to a tutorial to make it bootable? The ISO does say nonboot beside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I get a large amount of hits in Google with "selfboot tutorial", you know. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 About JSR. Mount it, and open it on my computer, does it contain just audio file? If it does then its a bad rip. If not, carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krislicoque Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'm experiencing the same problem. I once got Chankast to work to play Ikaruga, but now I can't remember what I did. I downloaded the emulator, the DC bios and the Ikaruga self-boot iso. I mounted the ISO and I start Chankast, but it takes me to the CD play menu, and won't start the game. What could be wrong?

Agozer Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 What could be wrong?Use Daemon Tools 3.29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krislicoque Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Why would that help? I got the newest version. I got two versions of Ikaruga. One versions says "can't read TOC from drive I:" or something when starting, other one just skips to the audio player menu in the Dreamcast options. I got it working once, what's wrong? Edit: Just tried 3.29 Daemon tools. Couldnt even mount it with that one. Edited February 28, 2007 by krislicoque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
