Dreamcast CDI Burner is a collection of software (CDIrip and CDRtools,
along with my own cdib bash script) that can burn a Dreamcast CDI file
to a blank CD-ROM using your computer's CD burner. The resulting CD-
ROM is bootable on a Sega Dreamcast console, making use of the MIL-CD
exploit. This exploit does not require any console modifications, as
long as it is exploitable. CDI is the proprietary format of the
Windows only software DiscJuggler. It is a very popular format for
Sega Dreamcast software distribution.

Revision 0 and 1 consoles can all be exploited. If you have a revision
2 console it may not be able to use the MIL-CD exploit to boot burned
CD-ROMs. To find out the revision of a console, flip it upside down
and look for the number 0, 1, or 2 circled on the bottom label.

Dreamcast CDI Burner supports all 4 Sega Dreamcast CDI File format
types.

### Version 1.0.7 - (8/19/2021) - Changes In This Version

[Mac OS X 10.3.9-10.6.x (PowerPC)][4]

[Mac OS X 10.6.x-10.14.x (Intel)][5]

[Source Code][6]

View [][7]all releases.


Installation

### Mac OS X

Download the PowerPC or Intel release, and unzip it. Copy the
`DCDIB.app` to `/Applications/DCDIB.app`. If `DCDIB.app` is ran
anywhere else or named differently you will be prompted to copy it to
`/Applications/DCDIB.app` before you can continue.

### Linux

A pre-built release is not available. Install Dreamcast CDI Burner
from source.


Install From Source

### Mac OS X Requirements

Mac OS X 10.3.9 or newer is required to build for Mac OS X. PowerPC
and Intel are supported. To target Mac OS X 10.3.9-10.6.8 PowerPC
build on Mac OS X 10.3.9. To target Mac OS X 10.4-10.14 Intel, build
on Mac OS X 10.4. Xcode and or Xcode Command Line Tools (depending on
your OS version) is required.

### Linux Requirements

Compiling for Linux requires gcc and GNUmake installed.

### Building

Compiling Dreamcast CDI Burner is done by executing one command found
in the [source code][8] download, the `build-all` script with sudo
privilages or as root. The `build-all` script does not need to be
executed from the same directory to work. It will compile and install
Dreamcast CDI Burner, as well as create a release in the `build`
directory.


Important Info About CD-ROMs

Some people swear by [Verbatim][9] CD-ROMs, however this has not been
my experience. I've been able to grab any CD-ROM brand (such as
Maxell) and they work perfectly on my Model 1 Sega Dreamcast.

Also, I'd just like to say here that playing burned games and software
is no different then playing burned audio CDs in your Dreamcast as far
as the laser is concerned.


Usage

### Mac

Insert a blank CD-ROM into the internal burner of your Mac. When
Finder asks what to do with this disc, click `ignore`.

![Ignore blank CD-ROM on Mac][10]

Double click `/Applications/DCDIB.app`. A window will open allowing
you to select a CDI file. After selecting a file you may be prompted
for your account password. This is required to give CDRtools the
privileges required for successful burning. After entering your
password if prompted, simply wait for the burn to complete, you may
monitor the progress made in the Terminal window.

![Selecting a .CDI file in Finder on Mac][11]

Note that Dreamcast CDI Burner will eject all removable storage as a
side effect of enforcing a successful burn on Mac OS X.

### Linux

Insert a blank CD-ROM into the internal burner of your computer. Don't
let any software/your OS format or otherwise 'touch' the CD.

![Ignore blank CD-ROM on Linux][12]

In the terminal execute `sudo cdib /path/to/your.cdi` (replace
`/path/to/your.cdi` with your actual desired .CDI file). Then, just
wait for your burn to complete.

### Version 1.0.6 (2/1/2021)

 * Fixed the CDRtools compatibility regression on Mac OS X 10.3.9
 * The `build-all` script should now work on Mac OS X 10.7 and above.
   (untested as I do not have an Intell Mac).

   ran on Intel Macs (untested as I do not have an Intel Mac).
 * Switched to uname based OS detection in the cdib script.

   Mac OS X version already did this).

### Version 1.0.5 (1/27/2021)

How To Uninstall

### On Mac OS X

Delete `/Applications/DCDIB.app`.

### On Linux

Execute the `uninstall` script (found in each linux release, if you
built from source a release was created in the `build` directory) with
sudo privilages or as root. You can type `sudo` in the Terminal
application, add a space, and then simply drag the `uninstall` script
as well, it does not need to be executed from the same directory.
