How to Make a Dreamcast Boot Disk

Dreamcast was the last Sega video game console before the company changed its business model to concentrate solely on video game design. In later years, the Dreamcast became popular for being able to play games burned onto recordable CDs. Playing burned games on a Dreamcast requires the use of a boot disk. Boot disks, such as Utopia, are free to use, but can only be burned using special software. DiskJuggler is free and can quickly burn multisession CDI files, which are required for boot disks.
