^One of the best films of all time!

Guess what, Joe? I think all the overburning DC games fucked up my cd burner. It won't burn cd's anymore -- it'll burn dvd's still though!! (cd and dvd lasers are two different things) I have an AMAZING cd/dvd burner that will burn cd/dvd/playstation games/etc... but guess what? It won't burn Dreamcast games! The thing is, there's firmware that OVERRIDES the discjuggler thing. Flat-out, even if I set it to 16x (the lowest it'll go! no 4x here!), it goes fucking 52x or something the whole time!

Luckily, I have a 10 year old cd burner I've burnt probably 2058202085 cd's on, at my grandpa's house, thaT I'm not using for anything. Gonna have to hook it up and get back to burning DC titles.

See, the thing is, DC games have really complex structures, that's why you have to burn 4X, and that's why there's so many problems, even from a lot of people who do get it to burn successfully. The funny thing is, I burnt a few PSX games as a test, and they seemed to play better than ever -- seemed like there was less loading than ever, if that's possible. And I burned those suckers at 52x!

So, unless I can find some way to permanently slow my burner down when using discjuggler -- which I can't seem to find -- I'll just have to use a shitty cd-r-only -burner. Which actually might be better to use anyway.

Just a warning, though -- I've read various online reports that overburning Dreamcast games (and, y'know, nearly every game I burnt was well over 700mb, many at 798-803mb!) will fuck up your laser.
