DAO works better actually, just some burners are weird/old and refuse to work with it if you burner is compatible set it to DAO, NOT DAO 96, but DAO, and make sure you have the latest version of Nero anf if you burner has Buffer underrun (most new ones do) then you can use the max burn speed and it will be error free (DC games take goddamn forever on the lowest speed if my burner didnt have buffer underrun i would go crazy) NRG is mostly all automatic, the only setting you have to change is this Go to File, Prefrences, go to the Expert Features Tab, Check the Box that says Enable Overburn Disc At Once burning, click apply, then OK If your burner doesnt support DAO, then you cant use Overburning, which means your screwed for certain games, i think thats your problem cominus, your burner cant do DAO

hmm, well these ISOs are strange, they only seem to work on certain DCs, they are region free so its not that, its booting so im guessing you burned it right, it may be just a messed up image i dont like echelon games because i like my 100% clean rips so i havent bothered with them much, tell me what game it is and ill hunt it down and burn it and see if i can get it to work

yeah you need a coders cable (at lik-sang for like 30 bucks i think) This links you DC to the PC and allows your PC to use you DC as an External GD-ROM drive then you get the program and their USUALLY not THAT hard but it depends on the game, after you do this you must wait, a REALLY long time, because of the type of cable it takes FOREVER, when i ripped Skie Of Arcadia for a friend it literally took 11+ hours just for disc one its not even worth it, just download your games, even if you own it and want to just copy it, the download wil be faster, i would only bother with this if its for a game that has never been ripped (i think im going to hunt down bleemcast and rip it correctly, i dont see why is hasnt been already, it took me like 1 hours tops to figure out how to rip correctly every game ive ripped)

Alright i tested DC movie player it plays everything GREAT, everything works perfectly except one thing when you play videos the audio is either offsync, skips, repeats, or combinations of the three works great for audio though just check out www.DCEmulation.com or www.Consolevision.com for a replacement or something for the rest of the files

ok well you usually dont need a bootdisc but get over to www.suprnova.com and install bittorent, they have a bunch of games but you will find much more games on Direct Connect, websites usually either have fake ones/small ones/not very many because they are so large

ok im gonna post a list of what you should have for each one... For DivX use DCDivX http://homebrew.dcemulation.com/dcdivx.shtml MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE DIVX CODEC 5.10 OR BELOW, NOT 5.11!!! IT WILL NOT WORK!!! For MP3 use DreamMP3 Or Pelicans MP3 player http://homebrew.dcemulation.com/dreammp3.shtml Thats DreamMP3 Pelicans one is floating around in a RAR file in DC Hubs that include the MP3 player among other things (cheating discs, boot dics, etc.) Ive never tested it but this seems to play everything, it may not work well, it may work excellently, i have no idea, il test it and post again soon http://homebrew.dcemulation.com/dcmovieplayer.shtml Thats DC Movie Player by the way

heck no dude, ive beaten Grandia one AND two, Grandia Two is soooo much better!!!

whoah sweet, i used to know a place that would give you like 3 gigs free hosting for life with unlimited bandwidth i thought it was too good to be true, but it wasnt, there where no ads or anything it was great!!! Unfortunatly the site was shut down a year or two ago

This depends on what kind of media files you want to play, tell me what kind of files and ill tell you Certain players are only good for certain types

The DC is just loud, loudest Damned console ive ever played, there all like that, ive tried oiling it but it doesnt help much at all Only be concerned if you hear a high pitched sqeeling noise that seems to change pitch after every normally loud drive movement, usually happens more often when playing burns/imports, this means your GD-ROM is coming off of alignment

yea, if you go to www.geocities.com/shibathedog (my directory) and download Rudra-e.zip its the patch, which includes a nice guide, teh first part doesnt spoil anything just teaches you basics on how to play, the second part is a walkthrough i think, very usefulll

there are ones, but they run like crap, do it on your DC, its much better

glad your having good luck, i would hate anyones DC experience to be a bad one

i just need a place with tons of space, ill make a HTML page, and have lots of files, thats for the recommendation, ill check em out, but im sure i can convince STUFF to give me more space when i need it at Anarchy hehe, but the more places to put your crap the better

sorry about the dead links, go here http://www.geocities.com/shibathedog/Downloads.html for teh downloads page where they work, sorry for any inconvienience

I dont remember where the heck i posted the links, but i uploaded downloads for people, and i cant find where i posted the links, but they dont work, and geocities is retarded going here http://www.geocities.com/shibathedog/Downloads.html should get you to the downloads page where they work, sorry for any invoveinience

Ok many of you already know about this but i decided its important for the n00bs, Its a program that is compatible with all of the best emulators and it takes your through the steps and makes you a perfectly working selfboot image to burn!! I tested it out and it works flawlessley and its very very easy to use, i highly recommend it Its called DC Factory Get it at http://dcfactory.cjb.net/

nope, DAO, make sure overburning is on, Mode 2, any speed (if you have buffer underrun on your burner)

The music should already be in the image, if it boots, everything is perfect The audio track much be there just because the DC looks for the audio track thats the warning message when you put your GD-ROM in a CD Player, thats all it is, nearly every image (with the exception of about 3 images) ive found have everything done for you sometimes you need a bootdisc, but 95% of the time you dont If you talking about taking game music out of the game, thats a whole different story, it depends on the game, or you can hook your DC up to the input jack on your sound card and record from there while having the music play

Ripping a PSX game means to copy the REAL game to your harddrive just in case you wanted to know if you mean you want to burn the ISOs, use Nero to burn the ISOs to CDs if you want to Rip a game, use Alchohol 120% and use the image making wizard You need a modchip, or to use a swapt trick to boot burned games on a PSX though i posted one but it mostly only works with 1 disc games, some games that are two discs when it asks you to swap, turn off your PSX, use the swap disc for the second disc and try to load your game, with some games when it saves before saying Insert Second Disc it actually puts a save with your position somewhere on the second disc

find a CDI to ISO converter... search CDI2ISO on google or something good luck getting this to run unless you have like a 8GHz computer with an ATi Radeon 9800 512MB DDR (not out yet, but confirmed )

some games are just stupid and take like 9 tryes to boot, theres like 1000 factors that effect this and i dont feel like listing them right now Burn in RAW DAO, with OVERBURNING on MODE 2 if it doesnt work then try a bootdisc, if it still doesnt work you either did it wrong or the image was made wrong (make sure there is a 6 second audio track then data)

ok You dont have the broadband adaptor, to use broadband download Passport 3.0 off of Romster Hub or Classic Sega Hub on DC ALWAYS burn in DAO and ALWAYS have overburning enabled and burn in MODE 2 RAW PM me for a list of dialup accounts if you need them for untill you get your broadband adaptor

ok if you want to get online, request a list of user/passes from me, ill get them to you, they only work if you live in the US though, this is much easier than routing it All the emulators are at www.dcemulation.com as well as burning guides also check www.consolevision.com None of the emulators COME with roms, you have to supply those yourself You should use Nero 5.5, 6 is horrible, its fairly easy to burn DC games, DAO format, enable overburning also if you have to pick, you burn at Mode 2 (this should be automatic) The browser on DC has an onscreen keyboard that you can use with a controller, although its better to get a keyboard adaptor and use a keyboard (mine was 2.99 US) or get a DC keyboard (mine was 5.99 US) anymore questions just let me know

ok this happend with a DC i had You need to clean the laser lense, use one of those CD cleaners (the audio CD things with bristles in them) like 50 times then use Q-Tips (those ear cleaning things lol) I had a Dreamcast (Like Dreamcast number 8 i think) and it was SOOOO Dirty (it was from EB games, what do you expect? Go to Gamestop damn you) I had to do this as well as use my cleaning guide Also you may have to realign your GD-ROM drive (not as a pain in the ass as it sounds, its really easy)
