Strangedogs is in da house!
« on: October 13, 2008, 02:28:24 AM »
Nice to find ya'll!  My new/used DREAMCAST is on the way (Ebay buy).  I'm stoked too.  Been an ATARI nut for years (Have a 5200 and a 7800 too) and figured it was time for a change  ;)   I'm hoping to burn a few - on a Mac G5 (PPC - not Intel) running 10.5 and hopefully I can figure it all out...  I do have a couple PC's collecting dust in the spare bedroom but I'm wanting to do it on my Mac - any Mac users out there - any pointers for burning these games?

Burning DC games on a mac is definitely worth looking up (scribbles it on to do list)

How did you find our chip of the net?

Congrats on your purchasing a dreamcast, and welcome to the hub :D

I think I've only met one or two people that have successfully burned a Dreamcast game on Mac, it's not common knowledge and is very messy.  From one person I heard it's quicker to have Windows on the Mac and reboot into it when you want to burn something.

Hello and dust off your PC's. For the best emulation/creation experience you absolutely must use a PC. Be glad that even if those PC's are a little old they should work great for burning Dreamcast games. Also in order to test burns you will need a PC running NullDC or Makaron.  :D

k - thanx... my G5 is 1st gen so it's not Intel...  will experiment and if need be fire up the PC's (grrrrr)   8)

EDIT:  Allrighty then - just downloaded (and read about) NullDC & Makaron - appears they're emulators (for testing - as per HiroProbot).  This outta be interesting!  Been "hackin" since the beginning (80's) so I LOVE A NEW CHALLENGE!  Will try to figure out a way to burn from OS X too - I have lotsa different burner apps and I'm smarter than I look (thank Gawd)  ;)  Now I'm waiting on my Dreamcast!

Hey you are totally welcome to become the resident "mac expert" for Dreamcast here.  :) In fact it would add a nice dimension to the whole forum.  ;)
