dreamcast CDI/Utopia fail

[panda8994]

so today i got my hands on a dreamcast it already had utopia (tested and working) so i figured id download a game to see if i was able to do it as well, so i got marvel vs capcon.

trying to do so i got a CDI file of some webpage, used nero to burn it onto a EMTEC CD-R 80min 700MB 52x CD
put utopia into the dreamcast, and then the game as it told me to. then it came up with the dog icon spinning over the cd ( as if the game is loading) but literally 30 minutes later the game was still not working, the utopia cd says its version 1.2.

did i do something wrong?
i was hesitant for posting on forums because they all seem so.. well dead i guess and id love help as soon as possible..

Some disks self boot, others need utopia.

Try burning the CDI with alcohol or discjuggler and try writing the discs at different speeds.
