BURNING GUIDE for all images using only free software
Re: How to burn game images using all FREE software!
Basically, the CUE tells the burning software what to do with the BIN file. That's why you load the CUE and not the BIN. You ARE burning the BIN file to the disc, but you're just not selecting it (rather, the CUE does). I'll update the guide with this information. Thanks for the tip.
I actually want to (or have some one) write up a guide about all the image files. I didn't want to bog down the burning guide with in depth information on image types, rather, just have a link to a guide that explains them.

how do i burn saturn cdi images?
Re: How to burn game images using all FREE software!
What Saturn CDI image? You'll only find Dreamcast games in the CDI format. At least, I've never seen a Saturn game as a CDI before. Regardless, you would follow the same procedure for CDI images as told by this guide.
@ everyone: I changed the name of the thread, figured the new title was better.

Wonderful guides -- my old ones are rather dated now (especially in this Windows 7/Mac OSX world)

I'm really not sure why any one would have a Saturn image as a CDI. First first off, can you mount the image in a virtual drive and test it in an emulator? If yes, then try ripping the CDI to a BIN/CUE and burn that instead. In the guide I show how to rip a CCD to BIN/CUE, follow the same instructions (but instead of ripping a CCD to BIN you'll be ripping the CDI to BIN - same procedure regardless).

Can you test the image with an emulator to confirm that it's OK? You could also try ripping it to BIN/CUE and burn it that way. I've ripped about a dozen Dreamcast CDIs to BIN/CUE and haven't had a problem doing it that way (I was even debating putting this method in the guide - maybe I will add it).

Nah, I didn't but I've never had issues booting ones I've gotten from Underground Gamer.
Aren't BIN/CUE's non-selfbooting?
So does BootDreams turn BIN/CUEs into self-boots?
