Question about self-boot vs boot-disc

[Wayne]

Do these "Self-Boot" Discs work on someone else's Dreamcast. Have you actually witnessed them working?

Can you put the disc into your CDROM drive and pull up a data directory on the disc (in your computer, of course)??

If the answers to these questions is "NO", your discs are corrupted. A DC dated June-2000 should have no trouble reading **ANY** self-boot backup, regardless of whether it's OLD or NEW format (Audio/Data or Data/Data).

I'd make sure the discs actually work before I went assuming the DC won't read backups. If not, you'll need to get new copies of them (from a different source, perhaps, that you know work).
