I just downloaded the Half-Life Gold.rar file to my computer. Now what do I need to do to make it playable on the dreamcast? Any help is greatly appreciated!

assuming half life gold is the DC version (i dunno) then you need to extract the Rar file (winrar should do the biz). This shall leave you with a CDI image file. From here there are various different ways of burning to a DC compatible cd rom. The best and easiest i know is using a program called 'Diskjuggler'

After obatining disk juggler simply run the program, select 'file' and 'new' then its something like burn CDi image - Cd. select the file you qish to use and boom, you're done!

sucha shame this game wasnt released Mad

So G'luck!

I've tried Disk Juggler, but you're limited to a 1 mb/s write speed. It locks up and doesn't work. Unless you want to purchase the full program, use this utility (CDI to Nero) and then burn it with Nero (if that's the burning software you use.)

The trouble is CDI - Nero, doesnt always work...I still think the best bet for burning CDI images is Alcohol 120%, which can be downloaded here as an un-restricted 30 day trial:

Oh and you can download a winrar trial here as well to unzip it:

Hope it helps Laughing

Alcohol 120 burned it perfectly! I also use slowest speed for (hopefully) better accuracy.

Please say this is the last time i have to explain the difference. (no offence Ultrapro, i have just gone over this about 3 times this week Rolling Eyes )


Echlon is the most famous group of people who Rip Dreamcast Games.
Half Life Gold is the Echlon rip of Half-Life.
There is NO DIFFERENCE between Half Life and Half Life Gold, other than the name of the file you download!

There really should be a FAQ in one of the forums. A place where all questions like "Where can i download half life" could be answered for all to read.
