Each of the apps passes a different option to CDIRip, I'm not sure what the right option is for burning with Toast so you'll have to experiment a bit. I've gone ahead and compiled the latest version of CDIRip, and made some automator apps so you don't have to muck around with the Terminal. Let me look up my notes and get back to this later.ĮDIT: So I've had success with using a combination of cdirip and cdrecord on Linux, I'm 99% sure I've done this with cdirip and Toast on Mac OS, but it's seriously been a long time (like 10+ years long). I actually have burned Dreamcast CDI images from a Mac with Toast, back in the OS 9 days. I still am considering doing a youtube video on these, showing the differences between the four. Learning more about this great system is always fun, and has rekindled my much warranted obsession for the console. I'm glad I've been able to help some people here. I got my demo/kiosk model in the mail today guys. And quite honestly, unless an old Sega employee comes forward with info on the system, I doubt we'll ever really know. While obviously the demo/kiosk model was used in a kiosk, what about the regular US Rev0s? Did they have old stock they shipped to the US? Did they come from a developer? From Sega headquarters? From a promotional event? Who knows.Īll of my Rev0s have major differences, so the problem is there doesn't seem to be enough of them to really be able to come to any clear conclusion, outside of where the Japanese models came from, on where they come from and how many were produced. From my research though, the design was changed WELL before they hit American shores, so where or why these came to the States is still a mystery. Japanese Rev0s were actually sold right at launch day.
The Japanese DC was released a full year before the ones in the states. Given Sega's financial problems at the time, it isn't a big surprise that they ended up making these DCs though with the cheaper, less reliable design. Rev0s are like little tanks in comparison. Basically, the stock DCs had less/cheaper parts, and that's why they fail over time. Secondly, the Rev0s have a better GD Rom drive in them. Rev0s have heat sinks, heat pipes, radiator and a better quality fan. Other programs Ive tried havent been able to write. I tried Trans-Mac and it worked fine but the disc wasnt bootable.
It doesnt have burn capabilities, so I need to use Windows to do it.
You actually have a Rev0, which some people think is the most desirable version: Im trying to install Mac OS 8.6 on my iMac G3. You've probably figured it out already, but yeah your console should play anything. Glad you got LiquidCD working, it hasn't been buggy for me.
