How to Burn Dreamcast Games to CD
Dreamcast is a game released by video game making company Sega, in 1999. The Dreamcast console can play both the CD-ROM and GD-ROM disk formats. However, Sega stopped supporting the console and the Dreamcast software is no more released by the publishers. Therefore, if you have Dreamcast disks and you want to create back up of them, then you can do it by extracting the disk file to your computer and then burn them to a new disk. You can use WinRar to extract the files to your computer and then using DiscJuggler program to burn them to CD.
