Shibathedog Posted November 7, 2003 Author Posted November 7, 2003 Ok im down too two boot discs now DC-IE and DC_Hakkar!!! both great!!! only problem is...i have a game called Ikaruga that says its realeased by Dol_mexica or something like that it boots to the made by Sega...blah blah screen and wont get past that!!!! does anyone know a compatible boot disc for Ikaruga/a valid image replacement for me to burn?
ken_cinder Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Since I'm such a nice guy, I'm currently uploading a self booting copy of Ikaruga to my webspace for you. Check back in about an hour for a link to it. It's taking a LONG time to upload for some reason (5.5kb/s when my upload maxes out at 32kb/s), but I know the downstream speeds for you to download will be pretty quick as I've pulled stuff off it myself for backup reasons. I'm guessing the server allocates only a small part of it's bandwidth for incoming transfers, and most of it for outgoing transfers.Anyway..........will update post with a link when it's done upping.
ken_cinder Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Here it is....... Ikaruga self booting Nero Image File for Dreamcast. What's really funny is I posted this EXACTLY one hour after my last post.I'm a man of my word.......I said 1 hour.
Sane Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Wow I didn't even know there were copies of Ikaruga that were not selfboot . Anyway, I'd just like to add that for booting REAL imports, not backups, cheatdevices like gameshark, Action Replay and Codebreaker also work excellent. I'm using Codebreaker at the moment since the other ones tend to boot some games in 50hz, and I hate 50hz, and it hasn't failed me yet. Oh and to boot real games in VGA mode that don't normally support it there's a trick you can do. It involves booting the game up with the VGA box set to TV uotput and then later switching, it doesn't work with all games and I don't know how to exactly do it, I'll find some info for you.
Shibathedog Posted November 14, 2003 Author Posted November 14, 2003 WOW THANKS!!!!! I FINALLY get to play Ikaruga outside of my arcade!!!! w00t!!! i owe you big time!
Shibathedog Posted November 14, 2003 Author Posted November 14, 2003 wait....actually this image wont work...it says something is currupted i extract it, open it, and when i try to burn i get an error ive tried Nero (Duh)Alchohol 120%and mounting as Virtual Drive non of them work ill redownload it and tell you how it goes though
Shibathedog Posted November 14, 2003 Author Posted November 14, 2003 Ok well same thing happens....i think that image is currupted im using Nero 5 by the way, Do i need Nero 6?
ken_cinder Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 I converted and burnt this exact image myself..........so it can't be corrupt.Make sure you're using a version of Nero that is at least 5.5.8.0 or newer, but DO NOT use Nero 6 as it is crap for burning multi-session discs.
Shibathedog Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 im using Nero version 5.5.9.0 its the weirdest error message too... "Unexpected Exception" Its only one session by the way i checked...you sure you ripped it right?
ken_cinder Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Well I'll be damned. I just checked it again and it seems something HAS gone wrong with the file.Must have been WinRAR's fault while archiving, because I converted the CDI to an NRG, burnt it and it played fine. Then I packed it up in a rar.I just opened it and loaded it in Nero and I get "Error: This is not a valid Nero image file"What's even more odd is plenty of people have downloaded it from me on Direct Connect and never complained, so maybe the archive has been corrupted at some point while sitting on my hard drive. If you use Direct Connect, an get on the Classic Sega hub (classicsega.homeunix.com) there are plenty of people who have the game shared.
Shibathedog Posted November 16, 2003 Author Posted November 16, 2003 ok thanks alot!! ill let you know how it goes!!

Shibathedog Posted November 21, 2003 Author Posted November 21, 2003 hehe back to my original question i see I have been looking still this thing is a pain in the ass to find!!!
