  1. Sorry about posting on an oldish thread, but some DC games e.g. D2 are larger than your normal disc but can be burned on 800MB (90 min) discs, I've also made some games selfbootable like silver, but they have to be burned on the larger Disc too, and they work fine on your DC. Only problem is not all CD-R drives can burn em...

  2. Theres no real drive that can read GD-ROMs on your PC well. I went out and bought one of those Yamaha drives that can supposedly read them, and it doesnt really work, it knows a disc is in, but its just that 20 meg space that some games have background images/the audio that says this disc is for sega dreamcast/etc.

     

    All CD-ROM drives can read that session of the GD-ROM. :thumbsup1:

  3. I was at my friends today but his internet wasnt working so we decicded to pull out his old DC to play house of the dead and sonic adventure 2 , instead of xbox live , but when we turned it on it started randomly rebooting  when i tried to press start it rebooted , it wouldnt work for very long , needless to say i only got to cap 7 zombies >_<

     

    help!

     

    This is quite a common problem, it's to do with the two prongs on the PSU, Sega recommended to try putting some WD40 on them, leave over night then connect the power lead back and try again, however, if it still happens your PSU is flocked and it's time for a new Dreamcast I'm afraid :thumbsup1:

  4. Are there actuall players online? I mean is the adapter really worth it?

    I beleive all the dreamcast servers are now gone. But maybe from a collector's standpoint, it'd be worth it.

     

     

    Incorrect ^_^, some of the servers are still online, you can still play the following online:

     

    Phantasy Star Online PAL Only

    StarLancer

    Quake III

    Sega swirl

    4X4 Evolution

    F355 Challenge You can still download ghost data

    Maximum Pool

     

    As for online content with downloads

     

    Zombie Revenge

     

    Theres prolly still more!

  5. The reason why im not sure if this will work is A. The emulator might not understand the data right. and B. I dont know if the transfer speeds are high enough to use the DC as an efficient enough drive, because it takes like 12 hours to rip a game.

     

    Firstly, Hi Shiba! I've not been back here for ages (been busy completing my PAL DC game collection, real GD's btw :(), the DC forum aint as busy as it used to be! :unsure: think it's time to hang around for a while! :P

     

    Anyway, your are correct Shiba, as you said, it takes too long to read from the drive, this is just a method by getting data from GD to the PC.

  6. i just wanted to know of the gameshark code for this(super sonic works)cause its not working for me.

    Enable Big + Super Sonic

    If you are using a burned copy of the game gameshark cheats wont work

     

    Erm... Gameshark codes WILL work on burned games, I have done it many a time myself, you just have to make sure the code you are using is for the correct version of the game you have, e.g. GameShark codes wont work on the PAL or JAP version of Sonic Adventure and vice versa. :P

  7. Is there plans to introduce a cool them like the new one, but with white backgrounds and black text, it's just that I find the high contrast of the white text on black backgrounds kills my eyes :D

     

    Oh, and the Invision board default theme is okay, but misses the cool 1emulation logos. :afro:

  8. I was just scanning over some of my old Official Dreamcast mags and I found some info about the zip drive and DVD player,

     

    The Zip drive was able to work mainly as just save game storage but with the possabilaty of future games using it for other reasons and would slot under the dreamcast.

     

    The DVD was just a stand alone DVD player with the Dreamcast logo mounted on front, here is a pic:
