I really want to get some emus up and going
I have Diskjugler, nero 6.0 , alcohol 120, Iso buster.
I have mame roms 56 and 78 . I hope thay will work.
I downloaded mamed1 pac( its in a .cdi)
Mamedc
Pacpack
wowpack
disk burn kit
a few other arcade stuff
I have been searching for a few days now and my head hurts :-[
I am running xp if that is important

Try http://www.dcemulation.com/neededtools.htm

I found that the Self Boot Inducer is brilliant for Emu's.  In fact, a lot of Emu's are provided in this format, it's just a case of dropping the ROMS into the designated folder, running SBI and choosing your image type.  The simply burn the image to disc!

I used this help page ( I have wasted 4 disks before this one.)
http://imrtechnology.ngemu.com/cdiburn.htm
I thought I would try the pacpac
my diskjug. did not see the .bin
I tried all the emus I have down loaded, Diskjug did not see most of them but did see Dream.Pac
I did everyting as in the web page above. Hay it worked fine......except.
When was I supposed to put in the Roms?
I have a menu on the TV. At least I got that so far ;D
now I know this Dreamcast will read a CD-r
help!!!!! Thanks

A good place to grab emus and utilities in the Selfboot Inducer format (.sbi) is www.sbiffy.com.

get a program called bin2boot, bin2nrg... i found that burning dc games in nero worked far more often.

Alcohol 120% rules!  I had a problem with images burnt to disc using CloneCD taking a while to boot!  Use 120%!!!!!!!    :D
