My last two Canon printers have both had direct to disc printing. They've been fantastic, but you have to avoid handling the print surface. In the past I've used fixative spray from art suppliers to protect the print. Taiyo-Yuden makes "Water-Shield" discs which eliminate the need for any extra coating.

So this fixative spray, is it like a nail polish clear coater?

Well, that sounds pretty awesome.

Also, just as a service to others that might be interested in this printer could you please perhaps post the model number? A link would be better but anything works. I guess you know how much other fans would want to make their own reproductions of this game to look like a legit retail NTSC-U or even PAL version as even they didn't get the Xbox American English speech in Europe so all they would have to do is print on 99 minute copies of the discs.

I recently bought this one to replace an 11-year-old model (which also had direct-to-disc printing).

Yes sir. The ones Nico sent me worked right away the first try no issues at all. I burnt with Alcohol 120% at lowest burn speeds which on my burner is 16x.

Isn't ImgBurn the preferred method for Dreamcast burning now, or is Alcohol 120% just a personal preference of yours?

^^ still depends?
to keep it simple, this is the world of optical media, it's complete bullshit, but we carry on regardless.
i use imgburn ( < for dreamcast iso/cdi image handling) anytodvd, dvddecryptor, isobuster, clonecd, and had total failures with discjuggler, and drunkyhol 240%proof%. :oops:
what works for some, isn't uniform. (the net has too much info to back that up)
advice above is completely valid, and shared (i would assume) based on personal experiences. (and in some cases, writers/hardware is an issue with some programs/optical drive controllers.) :?: 8-[
...
try with any of the three standard tools for dreamcast backup disk writing, one will give. :mrgreen:

Instead of burning the games to disc, you could instead invest in one of these:

Not only can you play Shenmue II in english (full quality) but you will also be replacing your CD-Drive and extending the life-span of your Dreamcast tremendously.

^^ good info for those not in the know.
that's a nemo board, or it looks it.
deunan has sd card version and the modem socket to ide/pata job as well.
...
1, the above is out of stock atm, and finding one will be difficult. (prices are high to start with, imagine what some charge KNOWING that.)
2, for now, optical media is the fallback, til those things get a little bit cheaper, and available. (and i wonder if 'mario' is still working on the project?)
oh, rhea for the saturn, by deunan...co$tapacket...for now. :mrgreen:

This was just discussed a page back but yeah, you're right. Though I personally prefer the GDEMU instead, these easily beat burning discs if you have the money to spare.

For some reason I can't get usable backups with Discjuggler or IMGBurn with DJ files. I used to swear by IMGBurn as most other people from TIZ will tell you we all moved over to that since it can burn it all, but since moving to Windows 10, or sometime in the last 5 months those programs will complete burning the games, but I put them in my DC's and they didn't play. In my situation I stick to what I know burns best at the moment.

I know it isn't my burner as it is not what 2 years old and a Samsung.
