Dreamcast makes bad ticking sound until i HIT it! (self-boot copy problem)... HELP!

[jordanheywood]

I've made a copy of Shenmue (self boot), using CloneCD and my copy, when loaded in the Dreamcast, spins and the dreamcast makes a ticking sound and sits on the Dreamcast logo screen until i hit the top of my dreamcast with my hand, and THEN it loads properly!?!

My dreamcast can load self boot discs fine, just not if i make them myself!

Can anyone tell me whats happening, and how do i fix it?

Also, my CD Burner loaths self boot disks. Is there a way to remove the self boot track and modify the ip.bin file so i can use it with the Utopia Boot Disk (all of those copys work fine on my cd burner!)

You need to burn any selfbot games with Discjuggler!
Settings: CDXA, Mode 2!!!

Bollocks !! you don't have to use diskjuggler, clonecd and nero will also burn a selfbooting game. Also you don't have to touch any settings in Diskjuggler just stick to the standard ones and everything will work fine.

Try using diskjuggler to copy your games. As for making a selfbooting game non-selfbooting a guide can be found here h**p://xeal.cjb.net/
