On retail games yes but there shouldn't be a problem with downloaded games.

In either case if there is a problem the Utopia boot disc should work.

Nero will not burn the boot disc, I converted it to a Nero format too.  It says that it can't burn the track or something, it goes to 39%.

Don't convert it; use Alcohol or, my preferred option, DiscJuggler.

There is a tutorial in the tutorials forum. If you get asked to "repair" the image, always say no.

You can get a trial of either off of the internets.

At the end of the trial you can buy one, switch to the other, "borrow" it or learn how to write DC on nero, but I don't think you will hear anyone raving about how good Nero is for DC games...

Yeah man, just download alcohol or discjuggler. It's not like downloading dreamcast games is 100% on the up and up either. :D
