I found my Dreamcast, but...

[Svenska Aeroplan]

So, my mom made me get all my shit out of her garage, and one of the things I found is my Dreamcast (and my Genesis, and my NeoGeo). The problem is, all my games are scratched to all hell. Not my fault!

Anyhow, if I download DC game ISO and burn then to a disk, will they work? I know the Dreamcast used GD-ROMs for games, but it could read CD-ROMs too. I NEED TO PLAY SKIES OF ARCADIA!!!1ONE

Also, who decided to make the controller cords so damn short!? They don't even reach my couch. :closedeyes:

[J-Stop]

Yes if you have a model made before November of 2002 or a game with the mod already inside the ISO ready to go when you burn it.

And you can buy controller extension cords. Not sure if Sega makes any official ones, but NAKI makes some.

OMFG. Torrents are too slow...

[Akito]

Yeah, good luck finding fast Dreamcast ISO torrents. I'm honestly kind of surprised they're so hard to find. I guess DC game piracy isn't as big as it use to be.

[Svenska Aeroplan]

I let it go over night, and it sped up quite a bit while I was asleep. My uplaod rate is stupidly high considering how slow my download rate is. Very annoying.

94.5% done, and slowly losing speed.

OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG

FINISH ALREADY!!!!1

OMFG FUCK SHIT SON OF A MOTHER FUCKER FUCKING BITCH. IT HAS A FUCKING PASSWORD!! THERE ARE 800 PEOPLE SEEDING IT, AND IT HAS A FUCKING PASSWORD!!

WHY ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDS TORRENTING IT!?!

[J-Stop]

There's a website out there in the wonderful world of tubes that has links to Megaupload and Rapidshare which have DC (and CD/DVD's) rips on them.

But hell if I remember the location. Google might know where to find it, though.

[Svenska Aeroplan]

Ugh. Fuck it. There has to be a way to get this game from work. The Hollywood Video/Game Crazy main warehouse it just across the street. I know there is a used copy of the game in there somewhere. Hell, there is probably a few hundred of them.

[noodle]

man, i would love to play skies again. i did have a site with tons of shit bookmarked but i never got it to work right, either that or my dreamcast is on the fritz.

[Natsu]

best games on DC Project justice and techRomancer.. man did I love that fighting game

[Svenska Aeroplan]

I fail at fighting games. I can own pretty much everyone at racing sims though. It's usually so one sided, people just quit. :(

You're welcome.

so just a question...

i never got to own a dreamcast, My local electronics store has 2 dreamcasts for 35 bucks each (with out the cables or controllers, i have to buy those seperately) I think it would cost about 60 all together.

Should i buy one?

That's all that really needs to be said here. :wink:

[Galkar]

Let's see, 60 bucks for a console where you can get all of the games for free...

Yes

Nice!

If I download the PAL version, will that work as long as I have one of those handy dandy boot disks?

Dunno, a lot of them boot themselves. I need some GD-ROMs so I can burn Arcadia. After I download it, which will be after I see if I can acquire said GD-ROMs.

Talked with game crazy special orders today, and they have just about everything except Skies of Arcadia. It would seem used Dreamcast games are either still in stores or destroyed. One or the other.

On the other hand, used Dreamcast games seem to run about $5 on Amazon. You have to pay seperate shipping for each though since they come from different vendors.

[Akito]

Speaking of Dreamcast, I found one today for $30 and decided to buy it. I got to play Bangai-O and Under Defeat, both of which are fun shooters.
