Alcohol 120% better than DiscJuggler?
« on: June 11, 2009, 06:45:36 AM »
I am getting a Dreamcast tomorrow from my friend and he said it plays burned games. I already downloaded Ikaruga and Rival Schools 2 and I'm trying to decide which is the best program to use to burn the .cdi files. I know the .cdi files are mainly for DiscJuggler but I have read many tutorials on how to actually burn the games and all have said something different (use mode 2 instead of 1, burn in raw, use cd-da, etc..). I have read on how to burn using Alcohol 120% and it's pretty straight forward, just load the image and burn.

Is the success rate better?
Also, how do you overburn using Alcohol 120%? I've read that since Ikaruga is bigger than 700mb, you have to use overburn in DiscJuggler. How can I burn it with Alcohol 120%?

Sorry, I'm new at this and all the tutorials I've read all say something different. I know I'll have to have the DC here to see if the games will work or not, but I'm just trying to prepare for tomorrow so I can get right into Ikaruga and Rival Schools 2 :P

Thanks for any help!

I prefer DJ but some people prefer Alcohol, depends on your burner I guess. Try both and see which works better for you.

Also Ikaruga is about 20MB.
