This document is intended for Mac users that want to make discs of homebrew games and emulators working on their Dreamcast system. Currently, there is a rather easy way to do this, but I see the same questions over and over again with methods that in my opinion are somewhat dated (though still useful if there is no other option). The world of DC emulation and homebrews can be confusing to the new user even if you are on a PC.

Since there is a flood of PC based tutorials, I will not be covering how to do make DC homebrew discs on a PC at this time, though I will in a future revision cover a couple of programs that will be of use to Mac users that will easily run under something like VirtualPC and do not have Mac equivalents.

Also, I will make few things clear from the beginning. By emulators, I mean programs that are specifically designed to run on the Dreamcast to emulate another computer or game system. There is currently no Dreamcast emulator for the Mac, and there probably won’t be in the near future. Also, this guide will not tell you how to make bootable copies of commercial Dreamcast discs. If that is what you are looking for, go someplace else. Any messages or emails on this subject will be deleted. Finally, while I will cover this in the faq section, do not ask me where you can find roms for the emulators. Those messages will be deleted as well.
