MISC: rom loading refactoring, NAOMI GD-ROM sets now require security PIC dumps, old GD-rip binaries not supported anymore. DC: a lot of game-specific fixes, now more games are playable or glitch-free - DX11. NAOMI: MAME Naomi CHD-files supported (but not listed in dat), need CHD plugin in plugins directory.
Its not particularly difficult to fix most of the time though. >>Anonymous Sun Apr 12 00: I wish third party DC case shells existed.

The story is that some teenagers enter a contest to survive the world's scariest theme park. Each stage like a horror movie, complete with jump scares, blood and guts, and monsters that chase you. Its gameplay involves the player exploring and 'tagging' potential scary scenes; if you make mistakes, you will be frightened (usually it's silly or funny, though) and your heart rate will increase. You also have to monitor your adrenaline as well as your health. There are also several short combat segments in each stage, these unfortunately control badly but can be avoided.
It's not a very good game by normal standards. So why the recommendation? If you like bizarre or niche games, you must experience it.
Its weirdness is of a very high caliber, which makes it worth checking out. I just can't explain how strange Illbleed is, except that maybe it's like The Room. >>Anonymous Sun Apr 12 19: >the room in game form checking this shit asap >>Anonymous Sun Apr 12 22: It's honestly great.

He may not have said this which is also true but it is true that the gd drive is most likely gonna stop working sometime (probably soon, given we're in 2015) and need a fix. The 'couple of weeks' thing may be an exaggeration but it could also happen depending on the state of the console. There's also the resetting problem caused by the psu, which also has an easy fix (cleaning some contacts). I didn't know about this but, if legit, sounds very cool.
I'll check it out. Man that's nice as fuck.
I love how balanced the blue and orange are (and the fact that those were the dreamcast colors), but I find the lid a bit dark. Is it possible to have the lid a bit more lit by blue (or alternatively light white) without breaking the balance in the front (at least not in a very noticeable way)? >>Anonymous Mon Apr 13 07: File: 108 KB, 376x300, Hinata.png [] [] [] [] [] Greatest console.

>>Anonymous Mon Apr 13 11: Hopefully this thread can help me, since google was no luck. I've tried burning about half a dozen games using Verbatim discs and DCRevive iso's.

I haven't played with it much because I'm waiting to find VGA box of cheap so that I can get more clearer picture. I don't know what it is, maybe the early 00s schlock, but I really do love the absurd and bizarre selection of games such as picture related. I played that with my brothers and we had a blast.
>>Anonymous Mon Apr 13 11: Are you sure you burned them correctly?

I suppose there are new way to do it today?
How can you burn dreamcast isos with linux? I had that as well but those restarts could be at any point in the boot sequence. Rebooting always at the same point looks more like the problem is in the disc (i'm not 100% sure, my bad burned discs would just land me on the bios menu) >>Anonymous Mon Apr 13 18: These days the way to do it is using ImgBurn with an additional DLL so you can open CDIs. You don't need to worry about padding or setting the track modes anymore. Also, modern drives typically have a minimum burn speed and actually work better writing at 16x than 4x.

Considering the Bleemcast concept in modern consoles this thing was a fucking masterpiece. So, if this took off and actually was able to be used, do you think this would have been the Dreamcast's savior? I personally say yes and here's why >Cheap console with great quality for cross-platform games >could play TWO WHOLE LIBRARIES >had the 4 player option build in if the ps1 game had 4 player support >was an alternative to play ps1 games if you didnt have a ps1 which iirc was more expensive than the dreamcast even when launching (i can really be wrong here but in case im not there ya go) So not only would the whole ps1 library work on it with Bleemcast, it would even improve the games.
If anything it could have allowed sega to still be in the market today and sony could have been left to rot instead. >>top ps1 >bottom bleemcast if you play ps1 titles on ps3 those pixels are present unless you enable the smoothing method which makes shit blurry and unappealing. I never noticed those pixels on my own system til i played it on ps3. So that was something interesting i guess. >>Anonymous Tue Apr 14 02: I didn't realize this wasn't an official product photo until I started browsing the thread. Nice work OP.

Serious question. I've used Alcohol120 for all of my DC burning needs and haven't run into a single problem. Am I slowly killing my Dreamcast or something? >>Anonymous Tue Apr 14 17: I don't think it makes a difference, pretty sure it's just preference. >>Anonymous Tue Apr 14 18: There are cheaper, more practical ways to connect to the internet.
I made a pastebin of various info I can find, but it's a fucking mess. If you have a landline phone, it's really simple to get online. Why would you need an overclocked CPU and how many burned games can you normally not play in a Dreamcast in this day and age? The VGA output seems to be the only redeemable thing imo. >>Anonymous Tue Apr 14 21: Yeah, I heard about that PC-DC server thing.
Looks like a pain in the ass, plus I have no way of connecting a modem line to my computer.unless there's a USB adapter for doing so. Maybe I'll try it sometime. >Why would you need an overclocked CPU It's a 'because you can' thing.

I don't know if you're still around but I'll experiment with the lighting a bit and post the result when if It turns out nice. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: I bought a dreamcast a couple days ago from a garage sale, my friends and I have been playing nothing but soul calibur since that's the only good game the guy had. He says he's getting some more dreamcast games sometime this friday and to come to his store next week to buy them. But I'm a little bit worried he won't have what games I want or that he'll mark his shit up. So besides buying some games, what are some things I can do with my dreamcast? Does it have any emulators or ways to mod it so it can play pirated games?
I don't want a $40 paper weight. Also mildly off topic but how is phantasy star online on dreamcast? Are the servers still online too? >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: Oh one more thing, are there any memory substitutes for the dreamcast? Soul Calibur keeps talking about requiring a VMU but won't that be mildly expensive? >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: I got a new-in-box Sega VMU for $5 on Amazon last year.
They're easily available and super cheap, but the batteries run out in like three days. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: Oh okay. If the batteries run out, do the games just not save anymore? >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: The memory card function is independent of the batteries. They only power the VMU for stand-alone features like downloadable minigames on the LCD screen. So in other words, practically useless. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: Dreamcast has many different emulators and homebrew games.
The NES and SMS ones are the best. It has Mega Drive and SNES emulators too but they're not so great. The great thing about the Dreamcast is that you can play pirated games on it without modding. Just download the game and burn it to a disc. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 19: Simple, nobody had DSL back then. It wasn't even available in my area (in the middle of silicon valley) until 2003. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 20: Yeah, that's the one.
If anybody is going to buy one there is a duplicate listing priced in Euros that ends up being a couple bucks cheaper due to the exchange rate (even after paypal's conversion rate). >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 20: There are plenty of memory cards that handle saves but don't have a screen and hold a lot more. VMU's aren't expensive though. Only the batteries.
I had broadband in the late 90's, like everyone else I know. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 20: This is a different one, you just plug in a phone line from your Dreamcast to a phone line thinger (assuming you have a landline) and then set up the config in the web browser to a free dial up service. May not work for bba games, never looked into it too much. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 21: Does anybody else here actually use their Dreamcast online at all? >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 21: I've had a dreamcast for about a month and I've been exploring the possibility of giving Phantasy Star Online a go. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 21: Somebody should try and arrange a /vr/ PSO game. >>Anonymous Wed Apr 15 22: Not him but can I just use like a regular dvd-r from staples or some shit?

I do get issues when I try to force 60Hz.
>>Anonymous Thu Apr 16 02: After 10 minutes dynamite cop make the dreamcast to reset with RGB scart. This doesn't happen with other cables. >>Anonymous Thu Apr 16 14: Xbox overall I'd say. Fine details look better on DC because there's no bullshit vaseline lens quincux filter, and sometimes the mip bias on Xbox is a little shorter. The bloom effect added on Xbox improves nighttime scenes.
DC version suffers occasional severe framerate drops during exploration, and the pedestrian draw distance can be very short- both those issues are resolved on Xbox. Of course the game looks great on either system.
The big thing is language. The game loses much of the kung-fu film charm without the camp American voice acting. And if you're playing S2 after the original, the continuity is a little fucked as the spoken language goes from English to Japanese. Didn't get DSL until 2003, and I was one of the first people I knew with it. Where did you live? >>Anonymous Thu Apr 16 16: We need Shenmue III!!!!!!!

It had a wicked intro and some of the coolest game modes along with their awesomely designed bosses and logos. The story mode consists of beating the bosses' lackeys in their game modes, with each passing level adding complexity to the matches by changing the map layout and adding new features to it.
Reaching the bosses and then fighting them feels really cool. It's the same feeling I got when playing the Mario Party 4 board bosses at their own mini game after you won in their board, except the Bomerman Online bosses can be hard as fuck and have their own unique advantages.
It sucks that it never got the attention it probably deserved. Anyways, here's the intro: >>Anonymous Fri Apr 17 16: lost mine when my house got broken into back in the day. Many years later i repurchased one used from a guy in college who sold them regularly it seems.
It was very cheap. Sadly it was very dirty with nicotine. I cleaned it immediately with alcohole. It also needed that matchstick fix as it was randomly rebooting iirc. Hadn't hear of that happening before, my original unit certainly didn't exhibit such behavior. I expressed my discontent with the merchandise the next day. He offered to exchange for a different one but i said it was fine.
Never used it much though. It's not hooked up but stashed away.

I spent like 3 hours getting through the first level (the hotel baseball one) and the final boss stage (where you're jumping across platforms in the water) is almost impossible because of how poorly designed the game is. I'll push the control stick forward when I want to run, and my character will just walk. This game wasn't meant for platforming either, the jumping is god-awful and feels forced. If the boss's hand knocks you off of the platform, you just get stuck there in the water, and he'll keep hitting you no matter what you try to do. You won't be able to move because you're bleeding so badly, and you'll die. Cool concept, awful, awful execution.

Where do I download quality rips? What is the burning process?

I'm not completely certain, but when it run Last Blade and Garou they have massive boarders and seem slightly slow, so I would say so. >>Anonymous Fri Apr 24 03: There's an utility that let you switch bios, if you choose the NTSC bios you will have always 60hz.

If any of you guys have the chance, Rayman 2 on a VGA adapter at 480p in widescreen (one of the few games that supports it) is absolutely gorgeous. Probably the best looking game on the system from an artistic standpoint. If it weren't for the little things here and there (rough edges on models, some chunky level sprites) at a glance it could easily pass for a modern game. >>Anonymous Sat Apr 25 22: I don't have the files anymore. I most likely downloaded it from theisozone. >>Anonymous Sat Apr 25 22: Thanks for sticking with it.
The first level *is* the hardest, it's a terrible introduction to the game. In spite of its flawed mechanics, it's so crazy I just feel like it's worth experiencing. >>Anonymous Sat Apr 25 23: Its a shame that Snatcher, Policenauts, Castlevania, Shining Force, and Megaman never made it to the Dreamcast >>Anonymous Sat Apr 25 23: Imagine if we would have gotten a Shining Force game on the Dreamcast that was as good as Shining Force 3 was on the Saturn.
I doubt Capcom would have given the DC a new 2D Megaman, but it would have been nice to have seen a port of Legends. CastleVania Resurrection was supposed to be sorta mediocre, but a 2.5D sidescroller like Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP would have been amazing I think.
If we ever find a way to successfully travel between alternate dimensions and I have access to it I think finding the Earth where the Dreamcast was successful and lasted until the 2004-2005ish new console generation and bringing those games back to our dimension would be a pretty good usage of the technology. >>Anonymous Sun Apr 26 00: That's the exact one that doesn't work, apparently it's a problem with the download site. >>Anonymous Sun Apr 26 00: It was re-released on the PSP and allowed you to play Kraken and Valgas in PS2 and all 4 of the people from PS2 on PS1 >>Anonymous Sun Apr 26 20: BUMP to save this promising thread. >>Anonymous Sun Apr 26 20: For burned games, try find DCRES releases.

Should I just burn the CD again? >>Anonymous Tue Apr 28 22: >is it just burning games onto to blank CDs Pretty much yes. You need to use 'special' software to burn it correctly, be it Padus Discjuggler or IsoBurn (I think) with special plugins, but yes, you just use one of those and you can burn the game onto a normal CD-R and just play it in your unmodified Dreamcast. There are some exceptions to this, but 99% of the time it's this easy.

Episode 1/2+ is the same thing basically. Game cube can still connect online, and also be emulated through dolphin to connect online. Xbox required xboxlive services and is not online as of current.
Pso ep 4 (yes 4, ep3 was a card game for GC) also known as pso:bb (blue burst) was a pc release in 2004/5 features everything from v1/2 episode 1/2 and then a further expansion with more levels and items. The save data will be out of your hands unlike the console versions. Has the most active communities, albeit the best days are gone, and there is now a fractured community accross several servers with varying pros and cons. Easiest to set up, free to play, runs on low spec pc, digital only dreamcast can be a pain to get online with the 56k modem dialup, ala google, unless you have a BBA, and there a fue to none players online for v2, you can use the v2 PC version for the same game, although the hard core original feels of using DC with keyboard on real hardware is lost. GC is ded too but mildly easier to get online than DC, only schthack supports GC IIRC fue players can mean very nice players tho.

I know that JRPGs have a puritanical streak that would preclude any romantic tension whatsoever between him and the two female leads. But Aika and Fina are portrayed in such a diametric way (Aika boistrous, extroverted and street smart; Fina reserved, modest and book smart) and their group dynamic is so co-operative and friendly with often times a surprising amount of intimacy between them.
Vyse is energetic and forward with other Blue Rogues and male party members (Drachma isn't quite a father figure, but he clearly thinks highly of). I think it's subtle, but honestly think Vyse is gay and has yet to realize it. He has a lot of sexual energy (being 17) that just turns into ambition and tireless, dogged pursuit.
Aika and him have spent a lot of time together.alone.were they normal, healthy teens they would have experimented numerous times over the years.

As far as Skies of Arcadia is concerned, it looks beautiful and has basically no loading screens whatsoever (and also no lag or slowdown) Very much in contrast to using DreamshellOS on Dreamcast which has some painfully slow loading screens thanks to the ancient serial port, and a bit of slowdown (mainly during airship battles) due to the DC being uber slow.

Maybe I just have bad cable. I use scart cable and HD ready TV.
All the other consoles that are connected with scart have clear picture, or as clear as the graphics allow. Saturn, ps1, ps2, all have pretty clear picture. Is VGA box recommended? My TV has VGA port so I could probably get really sharp picture if I connect dreamcast to it. Only problem is that VGA boxes tend to cost like motherfucker. >>Kya!kDashing02 Sun May 17 07: You can get a cheap chinese VGA cable for under $15 or a Tomee one for under $20.

In order for it to work, they would have to jam an entire dreamcast into the xbox due to architecture difference, and have a special DVD drive equipped to read GD-ROMs. I guess they decided it wasn't worth it to increase the cost of the Xbox by $100+ for compatibility for a system people didn't care about anymore. >>Totse Redux Sun May 17 15: >Game recommendations All of them >Memories Using Web Browser 2.0 to find porn.

Released in 1998 and so was Spyro and they are both at the opposite ends of the spectrum in quality wise. (i am a N64 love fag and only played both these games recently, i have no nostalgia or bias towards both of these games and wanted to see why people liked them.) and holy shit was Sonic Adventure a steaming pile of shit. To let you know i was playing on a PAL Dreamcast and a burnt Sonic Adventure game. First lets start with the visuals. Yeah not bad, like decent to look at, colourful, etc thats fine which is nice but holy fuck.
Download Photoshop Cs6. Why did they do facial animation for sonic and characters? It looks fucked up, there are obvious missing key frames in the animation which makes everything look ridicolously choppy, surreal or broken.
Speaking of broken, why the fuck is there so many glitches and bugs in this game? And im not whinning because one game breaking bug happened, this was every fucking 20 mins. Either visual glitches, weird collisions on terrain or enemies or for fuck sake falling through the world. With visual out of the way, lets talk gameplay. Yeah there were some parts that were semi fun (pinball in the casino) but these were short and by far. For a game that is all about sonic and fast, its such a slow fucking paced game.
Like anytime you start doing fast loops and runs, boom magnet to the wall and soon as you touch the wall (which you didnt want to because sonic fucking sticks to shit randomly) it stops his moment straight away. And then there are the boss fights, every boss until eggman at the end can be beaten by massing the jump and attack button repeatedly. Like, you can chew away at boss health withing 10 seconds. I feel this wasn't intended. >>Anonymous Mon May 18 01: File: 1 KB, 125x83, 068.jpg [] [] [] [] [] (continued) Although story isnt really important in these types of games were having fun is more important, the story was so broken and inchorent its fucking an abstract work of art. Literally after every time i completed something, there is a massive, what the actual fuck do i do now. When completing an objective usually you should hint someway where to go next.
But the way the storyline was paced, it was a guessing game the whole entire fucking time. As with the audio, music that doesn't really fit any type of mood. All voice acting is as if they weren't paid (boy i love hearing sonic without emotion yell No! When he falls into a pit) After completing Sonics storyline, i tried every other characters storyline and quit due to the above issues and being amplified by some retarded gameplay elements (fishing as big? Seriously?) I honestly am not boarding the 'hate sonic' meme, i enjoy some sonic games, but this this was a fucking abomination. Especially when you consider Spyro beside it which had tight controls, camera, visuals, audios and flow.

You'd have to put some work into it, but if you tweek the laser just enough to read burned discs (not real discs, that'll damage the things) you can CD boot into Dreamshell, then, after performing the BIOS mod, you can install the bootloader to the console itself. Then just buy yourself a SDcard adapter and run all your games from there.
(or do the IDE mod. Way more work.
I guess you could also buy GDEMU. Good luck with that).
