Hi, I just got Discjuggler Professional Edition v4.60 and was needing help on how to burn Dreamcast games with it. The first game I was gonna try to burn was Daytona USA.

Short Answer - YES. Because you have burnt the disc at a faster speed than the DC can read, it will put unnecessary pressure on the laser to read from it. Your games may play fine, but there will be more pressure on the laser to read them, hence giving your DC laser a much shorter lifespan. If you want to preserve your DC laser as long as possible, you have two options. You can try alcohol 120%, or if you wish to stick to DJ then go to tools, select the 'defaults' tab and set the CD max write speed to 8x. Hope this helps.

I did that b4 and for some ungodly reason it still said 16x was the lowest I can go.thanks for helping a semi-newb K, now if I have previously burnt games and I'm not sure what they were burnt at, should I be safe and re-copy them at a lowere speed to new media, or because they were potential burnt at higher speeds already, I need to redownload them and burn completely new games(because of the game already being burnt at above 8x)? Edit once again.it maybe the media I'm using cause it says 8x b4 I put a CD in but afterwards, it jumps to 16x as my lowest speed.they are 52x Verbatim. Yeah, I tried to set the burn speed to 8x via the method you recommended b4 the edit and I even restarted my computer, but to no luck.my friend has an old drive I think so I'll ask him. I regards to my other question.if I have previously burnt games and I'm not sure what they were burnt at, should I be safe and re-copy them at a lowere speed to new media, or because they were potential burnt at higher speeds already, I need to redownload them and burn completely new games(because of the game already being burnt at above 8x)? I'm guessing redownload and reburn but I hope not. Two more questions:(and the first one isn't meant to be a smart ass or anything, I just thought about this while talking to a friend over the phone) 1) How does burning speed coinside with read speed?

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE ASKED TO BECOME AN IT EXPERT IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL THEIR SOFTWARE. NO FIX I’VE TRIED PERMITTED INSTALLATION AND I RETURNED THE SOFTWARE FOR A REFUND. Adobe photoshop cs5 language pack en_gb google translate.

What I mean is, you burn a music cd at 40x or 52x or whatever and it's read fine in a standard 1x CD player, so how would that be any different than burning a Dreamcast game at 16X and it being recognized by the Dreamcast(which from what you said diggity, only reads at 12X max)? If there's a reason behind this, then question 2 2) how do I manually temporarly 'cripple' my burning speed(either through my hardware or otherwise) so I can burn at 4 or 8X? I'm fired up Alcohol and DiscJuggler both and despite going into the options, the slowest they will burn is 16x. If I'm gonna start building my Dreamcast collection, I wanna do it right instead of having to go back and reburn everything again later. Thanks again for all the help.

What tools can I use to convert a DiscJuggler image (I don't have that software) which uses the extension cdi, to a more standard format like iso? Personally I am using a Macintosh with OS X 10.6 but I would think it to be appropriate to answer for Windows, Mac, and the Unices. Update Bonus for answering other formats like Nero ( nrg), Alcohol ( mdr), etc. I already tried AnyToISO (a cross platform app) but it crashed on my nrg file, and it halved the size of the cdi, which considering that its a boot disc for a dreamcast, does not bode well.
