Ikaruga

[Alpha]

Try downloading the game from a different place. It may just be one you have is no good.

Thanks for the quick reply.

But, i loaded everything possible. 3 different version from e*ule, and the last that i found here, the posted version from SSJKullilin http://perso.wanadoo.fr/shadowroom/Ikaruga...DI.Bootable.rar, it was working with chankast on my pc. It´s getting booting without probs, i can play the whole game, but if a want to burn it, i get nothing work to on my DC. And i have many different other games working as selfbootable on my DC, the only Game that isn´t going to start is ikaruga.

That is a very odd problem Bimma...Ikaruga was the first game I downloaded and it worked.

 

Are you using the same kind of CD-Rs that your other DC games are burned on? I don't think that should make a diffrence but this is very perplexing.

 

Are you doing RAW DAO?

[Bimma]

Hi.

 

RAW/DAO. I think that i tested everything. I heard that the availbale cdis are corrupted in the way, that they don´t have the correct cdi settings inside. Therefore some users say, that you have to burn with setttings x or y. Nothing works.

 

At the moment, i´m loading "Border Down and Ikaruga" in one imagefile. If this doesn´t work, i´don´t know.

 

Ps.

Excuse my english, -> german user.

So,

i put the burned cds in my pc to test it with chanka. They work. But they don´t work on my dc.

 

So, there are 2 mistakes, i could have made. Dreamcast can´t read the verbatims. Or i burned to fast (but this couldn´t be, because the other games, i burned at 24x, and they are working with no probs.) I test it another time, with 2x.

[Gryph]

Those 2 mistakes are probably not the problem since Verbatims are good CD-Rs and I know people have used them and I have always burned at 24x. You do have Buffer Underrun protection, right?

 

Ok, when you put it in your DC, how far does it go? Does it go straight to the BIOS or does it load somewhat and then quit?

 

PS. - Your English is fine, don't worry about that.

Burn ikaruga using either alcohol 120% using raw modes.

[Bimma]

It´s just unbelievable.

 

I burn since 2000. First Game was Crazy Taxi. Then came the dummyway, after that the selfbooting tuts. I´ve done everything since 2000. I made my own bats for selfbooting, i exchanged gamegrafix, but now i stand here with the unburnable ikaruga. I burned since 2000 with different cdrs, and verbatims were the best, beside memorex.

 

yesterday i tested ikaruga-burning, and i burned via alcohol/nero/discjuggler. Now with 4x Speed. Another 6 CDrs are for the bin.I burned DAO/TAO, Alco with RAW DAO. Nothing, it´s only playable on my PC, not on the DC.

 

Because i now have no CDRs left, i can´t try to make it myself bootable. My DC is from before Dec 2000, and i think that it has a prob with the 2 Audiotracks, witch are for booting (my other slbs just have one audiotrack). And with bin2boot, it´s also nonbooting, don´t know why, because it´s data (600MB)/Data(600KB)?.

 

 

How far do i come?

I put the CD in the DC. The DREAMCAST Logo comes, and the blue dot creates the blue spirale on the screen.

then it loads and loads, nothing happens on the screen. After about 2 minutes, the screen changes to the Menu with the 4 icons (Game/Setting/Profile/Memcard), and when i click the game, it says "No game disc".

 

 

ps.

i found another empty cdr, after i looked again in alcohol. I remember, that i DIDN´T try the RAW/DAO in Alcohol. I write it now at 4x, and will tell if it´ll work.

 

 

Ps2:

DON´T WORK, HOLY crap!

**** it was the burner.

 

I tested it now with my old Aopen CD Burner, no probs, it works.

 

It is NOT working with my new LG-4082 DVD Burner. So everytime i wanna burn DC in the future i have to open my pc and take my dvd out, and switch it with my old CD- Burner.

 

flock on the Manufacturer. The LG is a superb DVDer, but a crappy CDRer.
