I am going to back up one of the Dreamcast's best game. Sonic adventure.
You must obtain the iso (the game) and boot disk (i explain below) yourself. I can not tell you how to do this.
After you have it downloaded, take notice of what type of file it is. This will depend on what program is used for the burn. Most games are Selfboot, meaning they start on their own. Some games require a utopia boot disk to start, Non-self boot. Your download description should make this clear. If it requires a boot disc than just burn it normally as explained in step 4, pop it in the Dreamcast and it will load, it will tell you to insert CD. Open the Dreamcast up, take boot disk out and place your burned game in.
The most preferred method is obtaining a CDI file. Most CDI's are selfboot.
CDI or CDJ file is burned with Padus Disk Juggler
MDF MDS file is burned with Alcohol 120%
BIN CUE files are burned with cdrwin http://download.cnet.com/CDRWin/3000-2646_4-10028672.html You probably wont need this though as they are uncommon.
CCD Is mostly burned with Clone cd
Nrg file burned using Nero 5.5

Sega Dreamcast homebrew section: applications, games, emulators. Filetrip will be closed definitely on March 31st. Please backup your files before the end of the month Filetrip is now permanently closed. Sep 28, 2018 Where to get CDI files now? I spent a good portion of today trying to locate disc images for the Dreamcast. I ended up with GDI files not knowing that I couldn't burn those to disks.
