The Dreamcast supports a media format called MIL-CD, which is the exploit through which unlicensed games are able to boot themselves on an unmodified system. Appreciate any help you all can give me and thank you ahead of time! :) Have surgery coming up next Friday on a broken foot so just really want to spend my recovery time playing some awesome games.

I'm even considering investing in another Dreamcast this week specifically for playing the burned games as I have heard rumors & myths that playing them on the console can speed up the inevitable death of the console itself. Also have seen people talk about certain "rippers" of games to go through as their rips for the burning are more clean and well done than others so I suppose this would end up being another question I would end up asking, as far as who exactly to go through? Just would appreciate a little guidance as I want to do this correctly. I think I get what they mean by this, but needless to say, I am obviously no expert on the matter and am a beginner at burning games as it is. I've also read into a couple of forums where users have talked about keeping the game data "on the outside of the disc" by "padding the inside" to make the reading process easy on the laser. Koralik talks about MIL-CD's and then I see you guys on here talking about using CD-Rs.

My question for you all is simply what is the best way to go about burning my games? I have been watching some YouTube videos (such as Adam Koralik) and reading posts on this sub, but am still a tad confused as to how exactly to go about the process. I have a few really great physical copies of games I enjoy for it such as Virtua Tennis and Star Wars Racer (so much better than n64 version) but I am very much wanting to try out the other, more exclusive greats, such as Cannon Spike, Skies of Arcadia, Marvel vs Capcom 2, and Capcom vs SNK.

It has quickly become my most played console right along side my Ps2 and Ps4 and the vast quality library for it has had me wishing I had more money to try and obtain all of the great games the console has to offer. So, I picked up my first Dreamcast not too long ago (3 months ago I believe) and have been loving it ever since the day I plugged it in.
