PLasticSlug Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 I have always heard of this but im not sure how it works. DO you just get the bleemcast cd, and kind of use it as a boot disk then load up the original playstation game? or do you have to get a playstation game that is already in the bleemcast format or somthing and play it like that? thanks
BobRedthorp Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 (edited) There are four versions about, A beta version which playes loads of games, but with either sound or graphics isuues, with a few highly compatible, but offer no memory card support, heres a handy compatability list: Supported Games This works by you putting the bleemcast disc in, once the bleemcast logo apears replace the disc with your playstation disc and it should then load the game. It will also play backup games (I use it to play my rare copy of the unreleased game Thrill Kill). The other three are 1 game only versions which where officially commercially released and play the games flawlessly with memory card support, a blue one wich plays Tekken 3, a green one for Gran Turismo 2 and a purple one for Metal Gear Solid. (If you do manage to get hold of these beware, they require a dedicated memory card as it will format your VMU) I have the beta version on my FTP if you want it, but I have the three official versions also but no matter how hard I try I cant create an image of them. (prolly cos they are originals) And for some reason I have never come accross them online. Edited February 23, 2004 by BobRedthorp
Shibathedog Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 uhh, my version of bleemcast beta supports memory card...you just have to dedicate an entire VMU to it because it formats it funny...
BobRedthorp Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 I just never tried it, didnt want to loose any data, lol
Shibathedog Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 just buy one of those crappy offbrand memory cards with no screen, because bleemcast doesnt use it anyway thats what i did, got one for 99 cents plus tax
BobRedthorp Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 cool, just bought two VMU's for a fiver on ebay! well, plus delivery about 8 quid not bad though!
PLasticSlug Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 I got my VMU's for $2.50 at gamestop.
BobRedthorp Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 sweet deal!!, what colors?They are Brand new still sealed official Dreamcast translucent blue VMU's! what a deal!
Shibathedog Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Translucent Blue and Translucent Green are all you can buy new anymore i want some more black ones, and some of those ultra rare yellow ones

Have you tried the newest versions of BlindRead and Nero?What about Deamon Tools? Here are some sites that can help you out.. http://gamecopyworld.comhttp://megagames.com
Shibathedog Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 your probably better off ripping it thru your DC with a coders cable

Sane Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I don't think it will work, no matter what you try. No one has been able to rip those things correctly. If you see them for download just ignore them, I can garantee you they will not work. They are really cool though, especially the MGS disc. I played through the entire game using that and it's very impressive, well worth my 10 bucks. The original Bleemcast discs will boot backup psx games without problems btw, just so you know .
Shibathedog Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 see i bet if they didnt boot burns, they wouldnt have been shut down so fast.... BTW I found the source code for Bleemcast Beta, Anyone interested?
