Dreamcast Burner for macOS

This project will attempt to be a solution to burn Dreamcast CDI image files to CD on modern macOS, since currently no solution exists. This program is functional but only works with smaller games as of now. Please note, this only works on Dreamcast CDI images, and not any generic CDI images.

Usage

DreamcastBurner.app/dreamcast_burner <cdi image> [--print-tracks]

  • <cdi image> -- The image to burn
  • --print-tracks -- Prints information, such as number of tracks in the image and their length.

Please note, you MUST run the dreamcast_burner executable from a *.app folder, otherwise the program will not be able to detect your CD burner. I have no idea why this is.

Instead of running the exectuable directly, you run Dreamcast Burner with ./build.sh run.

Requirements

  • macOS. Tested on macOS Monterey, but I'm sure it will work on earlier version.
  • Odin compiler.
  • Xcode.
  • CD Burner.
  • Dreamcast to play the games!

Compile

  • Run ./build.sh
