So I used to have a copy of Lunar 2, but the first disc is gone and I don't think I can get it back. Instead, I turned to the modern marvel of downloading! And now look what I have, a set of .img, .ccd and .sub files! I think that's what they're called. Uhh. Look, what do I do with these and how do I do it? Does anybody know? Yang, when you burned games to CD for your Dreamcast, how did you do it? Is it different for a PSX game?

Sob. I hope I don't get in big fat trouble or something.

I get to see fireworks later tonight!

EDIT: With the right program, it was so easy I'm a little sad. But that's mostly because I suddenly don't have the Swap Magic disk for CDs anywhere and I have to order a new one if I ever want to use this CD. ...$30 I don't feel like spending!

You need to download a full ver. of a proper commercial CD burning software suite. Something like Easy CD Creator.

What you've downloaded are CD images. You need to use the Burn/Create From CD/DVD/Disc Image function to burn from the CD image files onto discs.

I've never burned a Dreamcast game myself, but back then my friend had to use the Discjuggler software b/c it let you burn a dummy block of blank data into the interior of the CD, leaving just enough space to burn the actual image data on the outside of the disc. This meant the entire disc was taken up by the write process. I don't know if this applies to Playstation discs.

Btw, you can get all of these titles off torrents via mininova.org by searching for "easy cd creator", "discjuggler", or "recordnow". Those are three separate titles. Give'em a try.

I assume the PS2 is capable of reading CD-R discs i.e. burned music. Any chance you can burn a boot disc, like this Swap Magic thing? Or is there a special thing where you need a boot disc to read CD-R software/games?
