Newbie here! Got some of the software, need help

Step by step instructions:

1. Register with this message board
2. Read this message board (at least a couple of months worth of messages, not just one or two days).
3. Read all FAQ and Tutorials you can find on www.dccopyworld.com, pertaining to Serial/Slave copying, Burning, etc.
4. If you have more questions after steps 1-3, come back and ask specific questions.

Reason: You cannot simply stick Official Dreamcast game discs into your CD-R and expect to get anything out of it. You have to interface your PC and Dreamcast together by serial cable and RIP the data from the Dreamcast disc onto your PC. This is difficult and definitely not for a newbie! I'm still a newbie (2.5 weeks) and might try it if I could get the cable, but I also catch on quickly and haven't asked any generic "PLEASE TELL ME HOW" questions here. I read, try, experiment, then ask specific questions.

Suggestion: Instead of trying to "COPY" your existing Official DC discs, try finding the game already packaged up for you, ready to burn. Don't ask where to find them though, you get your hands slapped for that. ##### newsgroups.
