DC is by far the best system ever created, why?
No modchipping or mods or swap tricks needed for anything
easy game burning
Original games/system is cheap as hell now
Excellent homebrew community
Best games ever, these games never seem to be defeated, i was playing SC and i rented SC2 (for all 3 systems) and i was left with this empty feeling inside, i went back to SC and returned the SC2s without buying them
Has the Most soul, you will never see such a large collection of great games, the DC is almost pure soul, its got Capcom Vs. SNK, Street fighter, the last blade, etc.
None of the games suck, I have yet to see a DC game which i didnt enjoy, even the small time Tetris clones keep me entertained
CHEAP VGA support, its about 5-10 bucks, any other system you better get ready to slap down 80+ bucks
Excellent controller, great for ANY genre, it just plain rules (1st person shooter takes some time to get used to, but once you do, it just plain rules)
Has that great Arcade feel to it, Sometimes you need a break from all these ultra realistic games, you just want a great, simple yet challenging, arcade style game, but if you want realistic, DC has that too!
Compact, this is one of the smallest consoles ever made (not including handheld of course)
The list goes on and on and on, best system ever, just plain rules

yep, its pretty easy, anyway, i got the game, and it was a Nero image, and it worked, so look for that i think, I burned it in RAW/DAO with Alchohol 120% at 52X and it works fine
NOTE: YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BURN AT OVER 4X, the only reason i do is because my burner has a massive buffer, so be careful
-
look in DC!!! Expecially Classic Sega hub!!!
hehe, umm how big is the image, you might wanna send it my way and ill try it out
-
clean your DC lens, most likely its having read errors, also, make sure the spinny part in the middle (motor) can spin freely and there is nothing jamming it
to unjam your GD-ROM and make sure it spins right...
spin it with your fingers, then put a BLANK CD-R IN IT, listen to it spin up to 52X
that will whip any crap out for ya!!and you thought your DC was loud....hehe.....not THIS loud...
-
yep, i beleive it was named the Katana
EDIT: (Random question!!! Cominus who is that in your avatar? she looks strangly firmiliar)
-
DC-IE works the best for me when booting imports, burned, AND official, its really cool
also, out of the 300+ games i have about 40 of them arent selfboot, and thats because they are old, its very rare to have a nonselfboot game now
-
good luck!!
-
yeah its the same as the PC pretty much, but i like using my DC controller
yes it is selfboot
-
it depends on your image/game
some games just dont work, there are patchers that will make all your games work on VGA though, and yes Capcom Vs SNK 2 should work because mine does, unless someone patched it before they posted it for download, but im guessing it will work because 99% of games do
-
hmm, your image could be screwed up, try cleaning your DC lense (with Q-Tip, GENTLY!!!!, AND if you have one (notice i said AND) one of those CD Player cleaner discs)
i have a copy of Bust a Move 4 that refuses to do anything but go into the CD player no matter what i do, some images are just messed up
try putting DC_HAKKAR in Unscrambled mode or whatever (i think you press Y)
-
put it in DAO mode
if you have a burner with Buffer underrun 4MB do half speed, if it has 8MB do full
if it doesnt have buffer underrun, or you just dont know, do it at about 4X, also make sure to turn overburning on
In Nero 5.5.....
File>Prefrences>Tab Called "Expert Features">Second box down that says Overburning Check and make sure the boxes say 82, 0, 0
now just burn
-
ahh damn i got this game last week and was going to post it
awsome game though, kicks ass, i really like it
-
ok this may sound crazy, but make sure your laser is in the closest position to the middle, then spin the disc clockwise reallly fast with your fingers, close the DC, and turn it on realy fast. Sometimes that helps
If its going to the CD player, its burned wrong, if its going to the main menu it either...
needs a bootdisc
is burned on a disc that it cant read
is on a damaged disc (dought it)
your GD-ROM needs to be re-aligned
your DC is too cold, move it to a warmer place
Try booting an original GD-ROM, then turn it off after you get to at least the main menu, and then try to boot your CDR, sometimes that helps.

Yeah Naki is the kind of clear one, it comes in some colors, i think they are
Clear
Clear Red
Clear Orange
Clear Blue
Clear Yellow
Clear Green
and some others, i have the regular clear one
As for the boot disc, i have 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, and It will make most non-selfboot games work on VGA, but some games (The Quake port for example) just will not play on VGA. I suggest just using the selfboot tool i have to make it selfboot, and work on VGA
But if you still want the boot discs, lemme know and well see how i can transfer em too you.
-
Ah ok, hehe, sorry about that, i actually have a program that converts Raw files to Selfboot, i beleive ive posted it before, if i havent...
-
yeah, i actually did that kind of, i only have 5 BBA adaptors though, i lent some to my friends, and dialed one up and we played Q3A online, it was pretty cool
as for where i keep them, Two are on a TV, 1 is on a VGA monitor, 1 is on another TV, and the rest are well...either randomly lying around in my room or my basement (i have a gaming room type setup in my basement where all my systems are hooked up)
-
Nero 6 is crap because they tried to make it look flashy and such, but its SO flashy it screws everything up...or at least thats my half-assed theory (its 1:06AM right now)
-
good job!, now if its not the latest version ill send you the update and acidentally PM you my serial
-
yes they work, excellently, i love my VGA box, i use it whenever possible, looks so good
I use the Naki VGA box and it works great, only drawback is theirs no cross thru port so you have to unhook the monitor from yur PC and back if you want to use it, but i have a dedicated monitor so i dont care, it also works good as a S-Video/Normal RCA Adaptor
-
well your going to have to find a CDA to ADX convertor...then it should work.....
-
hehe, what i do, is this
when a game is 30, i realized hey! the DC itself is 30 where i buy games!!
and when you buy a DC, you get a free game
so i pay thirty, get a DC, and a free 30 dollar game
so pretty much i get a new DC whenever i buy a 30 dollar game
(i have 26 DCs now, 14 where from that)

use WinRAR
Open the.001 file, it will say something like WHat do you want to open it with?
select WinRAR
it will open and then you extract
you get an image
burn the image
(i actually use PicoZip because it can open every compressed format their is hehe, but i still have to use this method anyway....oh well, i can open Unix Compression
) -
yeah, there should be an unpacker and then an adder program
-
i accidentally posted it
Echleon Isos
in DreamCast & Saturn Emulators [/pc/dc+saturn]
Posted
hmm, im going to guess your image got screwed up somewhere along the way...ask whoever you dowloaded it from if it works for them.
Echelon rips all work fine for me...
From now on, do this, Get the latest Alchohol 120% (ask me if you need it) and burn in RAW/DAO
its just so easy to do its rediculous that way, if that doesnt work, its the image, or your DC, make sure your DC is clean, use my guide thats posted here
