Though downloading commerically released games is PIRACY, and is ILLEGAL and you could go to JAIL for doing it. so you'll be STEALING at your own risk.

I was told by a friend that a 'properly' ripped and burned DC game requires no boot disk. I have heard that the 'cdi' extension using padus disc juggler are the discs that generally do not require a boot disk. 'Properly' does not mean correct, it just means that if done with certain tools that you don't require a boot disk, however, if somebody does not use those tools they will need a boot disk.

I have heard they're only needed when trying to play burned imports.

Not needed for imports, not needed for any proper rip.

Checking some of those links...

I just noticed that 'Ikaruga' is only a 20 MB download. How is that possible?
I realize that it's a compressed file (so it should actually be closer to 35-40 MB) but that seems unusually small for a DreamCast game that looks as good as 'Ikaruga' does.

Actually depending on compression, the Ikaruga packages can be as small as 17MB. they are valid, working rips. it was one of the first DC games I ever downloaded, purely because of the size. I had no idea what the game was at the time.

As for HOW it's that small... I haven't a clue.

The image I have on my super secret FTP is 17.2MB when compress in the RAR format. But after extraction, the resulting CDI image is 773MB.
