finally saved up enough money to get one of these.what are some of the essential translations/hacks that I should load on my dreamcast?
>>11241617You could have emulated Dreamcast for free on a toaster.
>>11241736I tried that. Made my toast way past cool, when I wanted it hot.
>>11241617People are making a GTA3 port for dreamcast.Progress is going wellalso this is the only page you will need most likely. you will need an account thoughhttps://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13703
>>11241617Before you get all gun happy you should actually check to see if it all works properly. I ordered a set like yours and the shroud was a piece of shit that didnt line up with the holes and had a bad SD card extension ribbon. Had to just toss the whole thing out, at least the unit itself worked properly.
>>11241783You dont even need that shroud or extender at all.Load it up with every game, and repower the system to reset.Taking the SD card out and pressing the shit buttons on them hundreds of time is just going to wear them out
>>11241783I've had sound issues with mine on top of the casing being lacklusterly designed.
>>11241617>finally saved up enough money to get one of these.Aren't they like 60 bucks? It shouldn't have taken that long.
>>11243203OP only get $5/year from his grandmother at xmas. You do the math.
>>11241783It works if you angle the ribbon cable a bit
>>1124320360 bucks is a fuckton if you're a neet or a 3rd world faggot.
>>11241617https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVKN3pQ11wMDon't forget to deal with the 12volt rail when installing these things. I personally don't like the way that this video does it, but you get the just. A lot of people don't do this and it isn't brought up very often when installed the gdemu.
>>11241783>>11241786The problem on these is the SD card slot, it's designed for you to insert it once and not mess around with it again. I ended up soldering a retaining brace to mine to help it stay flat and gently lifted the contacts inside the slot. Once you address that it should work fine but it's annoying that the slot is this weird thing that doesn't work very reliably.Personally I just do the old reach in and tickle out the microsd in the sd card adapter.Oh and I highly recommend OpenMenu, its great these days.>>11243435Don't do this if you're using vga/component, just upgrade the cooling (will also help shut that noisy fan up)
>>11244096>Personally I just do the old reach in and tickleThis explains your entire post
>>11244096Yeah I just switched to openmenu.Mostly only because I use megavoltz usb mods too.Otherwise I was perfectly fine on gdmenu, it just workz.>>11244275>jealous he's not tickling YOUR pickle
>>11244297No one has or will ever be jealous of a loser who "insert it once and not mess around with it again"But thanks for playing gay boy
>>11244462>retard thinks opening the lid to a non existent gdrom and pressing a big plastic button is "messing around" and "fun"What a dull life you have retard
>>11241769>https://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13703I've logged in but I'm not authorized to view it
>>11244491Make a few posts in off topic threads. or whatever is says to do.That link contains links to the best sets of dreamcast releases/collections/homebrew etc etcI know posting is gay and having to sign up etc but its useful.
>>11241617>gdemu CringePlay physical games faggot, otherwise you might as well emulateConsoles are to play physical games on
>>11244509imagine paying to emulate on a console. For me it's either free emulation or original hardware. I'm not dumb enough to pay for emulation.
>>11241617The atomiswave conversations
>>11244524Exactly this
>>11241617CD-Rs are practically free you fucking moron.
>>11244723Oh yeah?How about GD-rom lasers. Are those free too you fucking moron?
>>11244724You had one in your Dreamcast you stupid consumer moron.
>>11244725Not for long using your free CD-R's you fucking moron
>>11244726Oh shit, my feet are going to fall off if I get gout. I better cut them off right now even though I’m like 28 and don’t have gout.
>>11241617What's this?
>>11244778gdemu (optical disc emulator) for dreamcast33 bucks on aliexpress during sales
>>11244780What's the benefit of this over, say, burning discs?
>>11244784choose from a listdont have to burn discsdont have to change discsdont have to replace/burn out your gd-rom on cd-rsevery dreamcast game fits on an sd card
>>11244789I don't think it's very worth it, but neat.How hard was it to install?
>>11244793>unscrew dreamcast lid>unplug gdrom>plugin gdemu>not worth itto each their owndreamcast library is very arcadeyI can see most people only wanting to play like 10 games of the library for sure.
>>11244824I'd rather spend £20 on a spindle of CD's that has all the Dreamcast games than £110 + SD card for all the Dreamcast games.
>>11244828Noooooo stop! He’s going to call you retarded!!!!!
>>11244831I don't care about your lover's quarrel. If you want to act like faggots, take it to discord.
>>11244828like I said its on sale for 33 dollars every time aliexpress has a sale. If you're paying 110 pounds that on you. also Im not paid to shill this so stop making me feel like a car salesman!
>>11244845Okay, I'll use the sale number that it's currenlty got on it's official site.I'd rather not pay £50 ($62) plus SD card cost for something I can get for £20.
>>11244851Okay I'll tell you again its not even 62 dollars right now. Unless you're trying to buy the shroud extendable sd card version like previously stated is for retards.you buy 5.15b version for 40 dollars right now or 33 on sale.you patch literally 2 games that only work with 5.20 that cost like 20-40 dollars moreif you want to burn literally 248 US game releases(619 worldwide) have fun kek
>>11244859Name 200 Dreamcast games worth playing.
>>11244859The offical site says otherwise. Can you post where you are buying yours from?
>>11244860He said he will burn literally every game instead.I dont need to
On the subject of burning Dreamcast games, what do you do about the ones that are over 700mb? I know over burning is a thing but that sounds like it'd be unreliable at best.
>>11244828>CD’s on a DreamcastLol
>>11244975How the fuck do you think the Dreamcast piracy scene which ended Sega’s game console manufacturer days happened you dumb shit?
>>11244929You have to burn compressed CDI files
>>11244975What do you think the issue is?
>>11244976>>11244983Enjoy your missing data
>>11244990Such as?
>>11244992He probably talking about how scene releases of games had to remove music, FMVs, voice samples, and other things to make the games fit on a CD. I’m assuming there’s more modern ways to do it that result in less loss.
>>11244470>retard thinks before posting. not
I heard some versions of the dreamcast aren't compatible with those, is this true or is it just Dreamshell propaganda?
>>11245696It's big Dreamshell man. They're out to get you. To make all your Dreamcasts aren't compatible. They're eating your Dreamcats. They're eating your Dreamdogs.
>>11245000Just to be clear, they only removed some assets from some games. Most games that were 1 disc in length easily fit on a conventional cd-rom. They also ripped assets from playstation games simply to make downloading them easier. Noone should get the impression that they just went in with a sledgehammer pulling out fmvs and dialogue left and right.
>>11244723Good luck finding a CD burner that burns discs at the right speed.
>>11241617Stupid third world ESL retard has to save money to buy a $33 thing. Fucking moron. You’ll always be poor and I’m glad.
>see gdemu and buy it> get a hdmi adapter to play>seems fine>but why is my screen squished>read about how the DC handles VGA signals>huh..okay... - try some solutions>one year later I have soldered a fucking HDMI-board solution into my dreamcast, as well as many other modsDon't fall for the dreamcast meme anon.
>>11247302I'm not a retard. I use s-video on my Dreamcast.
>>11248756>I'm not a retard. I use s-video on my console that does vga out of the boxWhat did the zoom zoom mean by this?
>>11246064programs do it for you
>>11244597thank you for the one (1) actual answer to my thread
>>11244861he already did slapnuts
>>11248756>Letting 480p go to waste.Shame.>>11241617As already mentioned the atomiswave games are cool. Also check out:-Under Defeat - really cool shmup-Code Veronica X (originally X was not on DC. Check if your gdemu suffers from a bug. I think you can patch the iso if it doesn't. I hex edited my savefile, that worked too.)-Blue Submarine No.6 (anime was cool. gsme is probably cool too-Space Channel 2There's more, but most stuff is really obscure.
>>11251701someone mentioned gta3 you fucking RETARD
