ME! and solidius23 are both correct with vampire savior. Me! guessing first gets the points new image up

I use both Gens and Kega. Gens is probably slightly better for XP.

Nope. Another clue, it's a beat em up and one of the best games on the Saturn (IMO)

Great stuff Magnis. I was going to post this but you saved me the job To add to that, sometimes your images will come in the.cdi format, which are to be used with Discjuggler. You can get it at www.padus.com Open DiscJuggler, click file, then new. Select Burn CD and DVD images. Where it says source, select the.cdi file you want to burn and load it up. Click the advanced tab and set the following options: Mode: Mode 1/DVD Block: 2352 Offset: 0 bytes TOC: CD-DA Everything else should be left as it is. After that, simply select the burning speed (slow is better because there is much less chance of error) and burn!. Personally I prefer using Nero like Magnis posted. If you want to convert your discjuggler.cdi images to Nero.nrg images, then use a great little program called Cdi2nero which you can get at http://cdirip.freeyellow.com/down_cdi.html. Then you should just follow the rest of Magnis' tutorial above.

It's deliberately hard Clue is that it's a Saturn game.

If you had taken a picture just 10 seconds later, it would have looked exactly the same as your avatar ME!

Ok folks I know there isn't a proper emulator for the Dreamcast yet but I am a moderator in this part of the forum, so I want to be of service. If you want any help on burning any of the Dreamcast emulators such as DCGnuboy, Dreamsnes, Nester, Smeg, etc then post in this part of the forum and I will guide you through it. The same goes for any of the Dreamcast homebrew apps and games available. There are too many people who haven't took advantage of the fact that the Dreamcast can become a VCD player, an MP3 player, a SNES, a Gameboy color, NES etc (soon possibly online now that the modem code might be available) without any modifications whatsoever. If you want to know about burning Dreamcast games, then I will help you with that too. Just post the problem and I will see what I can do. I will also be posting a list of the best(and worst) DC apps so that people don't waste thier time. I will add to this later, I just wanted to get it started. Dreamcast Emulation on PC:- ----------------------------------------- Nightmare emu: This is a trojan, DO NOT use it. Dreamemu: Has just been updated recently and can now emulate some of the basic homebrew stuff. No commercial games yet but it is making progress which is always cool. Dreamer: The first that played commercial games. Has not been updated in over a year though. Icarus: Currently in development. There are a lot of games now running on it although the speed is still low 10fps or so without sound but It is a step in the right direction though! You will never be able to run actual Dreamcast GD-Roms on a normal cd-rom drive, but you will be able to play ripped games or games you rip yourself with a coders cable. I still think full speed DC emulation is a few years off, but we can all dream. It's in the name DREAMcast Emulation on the Dreamcast:- --------------------------------------------- There are so many different emulators available on the Dreamcast. I will list the best ones here with thier speed and what they emulate etc. Dreamsnes(SNES Emulator):- Currently at version 0.9.8. Runs most games at 80-100% at the moment with sound. Special chips like the SA-1 or the C4 chip are now emulated. This means that you can now play games like Mario RPG, Kirby, MegamanX1-3 etc abeit some of them slowly. NesterDC(Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator):- Currently at version 7.1. Runs every NES game perfectly with sound. 7.1b now has lightgun support so you can get your duck hunt kicks I however am willing to sacrifice lightgun support because version 6 still seems a lot better to me. SMEG(Sega Master System & Game Gear Emulator):- Currently at version 0.84. This runs all SMS and GG games 100% with sound. Excellent emulator with the only bad point being that you can't save. So that means no Phantasy star SMS Plus(Sega Master System & Game Gear Emulator):- First release v0.1 and My new favourite emulator. This has everything Smeg has and more. The most important feature being save support so now you can play all those excellent RPGs. DCGnuboy(Gameboy Mono/Color Emulator):- Current at version 1.0.3-0.6. This runs most Gameboy and Gameboy color games 100% with sound. Some people might not see the point of playing handheld games on a TV screen but playing games like Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages, Mario Tennis and Pokemon(you know those games rule even if the cartoon sucks) will change your mind. Segagen(Sega Genesis Emulator):- No longer being worked on. Segagen is the controversial emulator, ripped from the commercial Sega Smash Pack for DC. It runs most games at 100% but in a lot of games the sound is screwed up. Still worth a download though. DCGenerator(Sega Genesis Emulator):- Updated on 24/05/03 and has been slightly optimized again. This is the homebrew Genesis emulator and currently it doesn't really support huge roms or sound. Hopefully things will progress in the next few months. MetaFox the author is working on a "create a game" app for non coders for the Dreamcast. So I would rather he spent time on that that this emu Especially since there are 2 more Genesis emulators being ported. Genesis Plus(Sega Genesis Emulator):- First release and very impressive it is too. No sound like DCGenerator but runs most things I've tried on it at about 12-18 fps. Hopefully another release is due soon! Dreamspec(spectrum Emulator):- At version 1.0, so finished. If you want to play all those old Spectrum games at 100% speed with sound on your DC then this is your chance. Jet Set Willy ownz j00. ScuuvmDC (Lucasarts games Emulator):- Now at v0.4 Play all your Lucasart games on your DC. Games like Sam n Max, Monkey Island 2, Day of the Tentacle etc. Well worth having if you have the cd versions of these games and feel like playing them again on your Dreamcast. Now even plays the Dig and Monkey Island 3 SarienDC(AGI Sierra Games Emulator):- Finished at version 1.1. Use this if you want to play your old sierra games on your Dreamcast. Games include Lesuire suit Larry, Space Quest and stuff like that. You can also play many of the fanmade AGI games on it. Atari800DC(An Atari 800/5200 emulator):- Most games run really well. If you like ancient Atari gaming then this is for you heh. DCStella(Atari 2600 emulator):- Pretty much 100% emulated with graphics and sound. There are a couple of PAL games that dont' work and the "paddle control" code doesn't work yet. Apart from that this emulator is near perfect. Dreamfrodo(Commodore 64 emulator):- Currently at v0.92 Finally a decent C64 emulator for the DC (no offense to Bigboy ) Pretty much full speed for everything. I've not experienced too many crashes either so get it now people. PCSXDC(Sony Playstation emulator):- Currently at Alpha 1.4. Version 1.3 was running most games at 3-7fps with only software rendering. In this version there seems to be a moderate speed increase of 1/2 fps and also full screen mode. Once again, when it makes use of the PowerVR chip then we could be looking at (free) playable PSX emulation on the Dreamcast. Much better than the 3 currently available with Bleemcast. Bleemcast Beta(Sony Playstation emulator):- Bleemcast beta has been released and this means that you can now play a lot of other PSX games on your dreamcast. Many things run at playable speeds and I recommend giving it a try. It would be nice to get the source code for this somewhere so that all PSX games could be optimized to use it. OswanDC(WonderSwan/WonderSwan Color emulator):- Recently updated to 0.15 to add sound support. This should be a great emulator once sound is fully implemented. Neopockett(NeoGeo Pocket emulator):- Currently at v1.0. At the moment there is no sound and it runs a lot of games waaaaaay too fast but it is still worth putting on a cd along with a few other emulators to try it out. Dream Engine (TG-16 PC Engine emulator):- Currently at v0.01. This runs a lot of games at near full speed and everything else at around half speed. The author has recently stated that there will be a full speed emu with sound in the summer so woohoo for that. [D]Colem (ColecoVision Emulator):- Currently at v0.99. This has full speed, full sound for everything and if you get it from dcemulation it comes with 300 roms. There are also a ton of single game MAME releases for the DC. Games like Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, Simpsons Arcade, Galaga, 1943 and many many many more.

In the first post. I just edit the scores and the pic everytime. Makes it more tidy and saves time. Madmax2002 get's it again. Showing he is well and truly old skool New image up

I agree, I have been playing it all weekend and this week. It is just more Mario 64 basically and it rocks. THe Fludd is great, I don't understand why so many people hate it. As for the other games, Pikmin is great but rent it, because you will complete it in about 6 hours. I can't wait for Metroid Prime, Zelda and the rest though. Also there will be a HUGE announcement by Nintendo at the end of the year about something. At least thats what it said on IGN a week or so ago.

I dont' have MOH but I do want to get it. I mainly play Half-Life online. Mostly Day of defeat, firearms and Counterstrike. I am not that good either and I hate playing against clans because I always get raped.

I think it's probably that people don't want to fill up your thread with junk posts. You are doing a great job and I know plenty people want to learn C++.

heh solidius23 gets it. New image up.

Close enough. It's called Fort Apocalypse and it's on the C64. Madmax gets a point! New image up.

If they are RAR, just extract the first one and the rest will be extracted and joined. That is how it usually works with split files. Oh and use Winrar. Get it from the winrar website (just search for winrar in google). If you need a crack for it I can probably stick an attachment on here.

It won't take the forums long to bounce back. We have already started

Well done emsley New image up, remember to press refresh ppl.

I don't think it matters either way. If you post a rom request in here OR the section for the console then its cool. The post will still get read anyway.

My first geforce melted because it over heated hehe. Now I have 6 fans in my computer and I use that "keep cool" paste. :cool:

Apart from computers I like music a lot. I like to play drums, guitar, etc. I have my job which isn't much fun but I still kinda enjoy it. I like girls and I like going out an having fun at the weekends.

Official guess the game image thread. Look at the picture then decide what the game is. If you are right you score a point. If you are wrong, you don't, simple. Anyone can post a pic for people to guess and it can be any game from any system, well known or obscure. So come on, start guessing and post those pics!

Here are some GBA links: Link not Allowed -Diso

Yeah thanks Gamecop, this is excellent

My guess is it got hacked The reason I think this is that we still have our private messages. Maybe that means nothing though

This is some annoying ****. We had posted a lot of really good links and had some interesting threads started. Oh well, if we have to start again, we have to start again...

um yeah I was just going to ask that.
