Dreamcast selfboot

I just burnt an image of Street Fighter III 3rd Strike and it didn’t work on my Dreamcast. I heard that if an image is self bootable it has 2 tracks. In fact there was 1 track and 1 data file, so I guess it already had the selfboot thing. So I tried to burn my image with Nero (because the file was .nrg) but after 5 mins everything was still at 0% so I stopped the burning process (witch wasted my CD) and then Nero crashed. I read somewhere that it was better to mount the image on a virtual drive and copy to a CD from that source. So I did that and the CD works fine on my PC but doesn’t boot on my Dreamcast. So I was wondering, using that method does my CD should be selfboot anyway? If I use a boot CD should it work fine? And witch one should I use? Probably Utopia but witch version: 1.1 1.2 or 1.3? Also can some burners be unable to make CDs bootable?

Whatever
well most of the generated nrg images aren't compatible with the 6.0 version...
hehe
try it another burning software or just use the older version
