Nothing is working...I am getting kind of...ANGRY!!!

[TotheX]

Hey guys, i need help.
Even I've read through the other problems/threads, my dc games wont work...

I used DJ/Alcohol to burn the CDI Images...didnt work, with or without the utopia boot disc, didnt matter...
With the NRG Files, its the same problem...i used many different versions of nero...but my dc wont read it.
The CDI 2 Nero, as a matter of fact, did not work! ;)
Burning is no problem...everything seemes to be okay, but when i insert the disc into the dc, it loads a while, but after a short period of time the menu of the dc pops up...

Only Game that is working is Maken-X, which came as a BIN File...(boots with utopia).

But this cant be possible...what am I doing wrong...? The 80 Minutes Silver CD-Rs cant be the problem...

I am kind of new to this stuff, and do not want to bother you guys (again)...but i really tried out a lot...without any success (except Maken-X).

The Backups should be okay...
I extract the CDI/NRG Image out of the rar file and then burn it...wont work.


So, am i missing an important issue?

Thanks for help.

Bye

hmmm, i would say that your dc was made in dec 2000, but your dc can boot the utopia disc, so that is not the case.

out of curiosity, what games are you trying to burn? you might have to patch something. i know when i tried burning 4x4 evo, my burner could not burn the 2 sec. tracks, so i had to use a tool to merge those tracks and i finally got it to boot.

if all else fails for you, there is always the echelon selfboot kit. it should be that hard for a noob.

thanks for the reply!

yes, my dc is kind of new...bought it in 2001...i guess.

the games i tried to burn:

charge n blast
zerogunner 2
death crimson ox (all cdi) &
confidential mission (nrg)

*hm*
Well, im going to try this echelon stuff...

Thanks!

Could this be a problem:

I am from Europe, so i am using a PAL dc!
(F**king Europe released much less games for the dc as USA or Japan...)

For ntsc games I need a boot disc. Its called "Dc-X" and it works well with the originals ntsc games I own...

So I guess the backups are all in ntsc format...if they are selfboot they should work when i first insert my ntsc boot disc and then the selfboot-game? (I tried it out, but it went wrong...)

Or is there another way to get ntsc backups work on my PAL dc?

thx.

all these games should work.

maybe you need to clean the lense of your dc?

maybe nicotine poisoning

hey TotheX,

Are you using an RGB cable?

Then check www.megagames.com/dc for PAL/NTSC Detection patches maybe that is the issue with your games......

im just thinking of any game that is easy to made selfbootable.....
and then will run 1000% if it is made correctly.....

Try Mr Driller (bout 10mb) with the echelon SB tutorial.

Remember to patch all .bin files :-) ....
