    So I have Imgburn I have those DLL files in the right place. I have the iso of the game. The game is 766MB so won't fit on a normal 700MB CD-R. So I got 90 minute 800 MB CD-R with 799MB usable(even those were seriously hard to find). Every time I use imgburn and says it's all done when I look the drives for my PC it still says 799MB free. I watched a bunch of Youtube videos on burning DC games and I have done everything. I thought for a while my DC could not read them but it was made in June 2000 so should be fine. My CD drive in the PC should not be the issue as I burned discs to the HDD plenty. I can't spend more money and running low on discs. Everything seems to go ok til I check the disc space and every time the disc is empty.


    What is it I am doing wrong?

    Try burning on a regular 700MB cdr with overburn enabled.
    Try discjuggler or alcohol for burning CDI files.
    Generally, DiscJuggler at 4x works way better for me than ImgBurn.
    Alcohol 120% also works a lot better.
    ImgBurn has a really high rate of making discs unreadable for the Dreamcast, in my experience.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this is dependent on your CD burner and whether it can successfully burn a 90 min CD-R

    I burned Geist Force on a regular 700MB cdr with no issues, so I think both of you are wrong.
    Unless you're talking about a different version of Geist Force.

    The "extra" data isn't recorded onto the disc. If you are burning the Resorted release which I suggest as it has less crashes I built that image and it fits fine on a normal 700mb CD-R no overburn is required. MILF and I made the image from my original disc I bought from Assembler. Used a hacked emulator to make a custom sorttxt according to how the files were accessed to fix crashes and greatly improve loading times.

    And yes you are correct not every single drive can burn larger capacity CDs like 90/99/100min disc but as I stated it is not needed for this release. It would seem your drive is either going out or some other issue. I burn tested my release using the IMGBurn pack I posted with DLL files from TiZ and worked wonderfully on Windows 7 x64 but I have had issues recording alot of DC games on Win 8.1 and Win 10 till I found a drive that played well with those versions of Windows.
