Much appreciated peoples.Flowrent is right, your computer is too slow so it'd be kind of pointless to try to run a game at a decent speed. Are you putting in your original dreamcast discs in your CD-ROM drive to play the game? Since that won't work, you'll need to find the ISO (Google is your friend) for the game you want or back it up somehow yourself which is a bit difficult for the average person.

Agozer Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Get a better PC. I'd say that you need at least an ATI Radeon or the newer GeForce cards + 1.5 - 2GHz CPU. That's how it is, and a TNT2 is way too slow + it lacks several graphics intructions that Chankast (and the Dreamcast) needs. And yes, running DXDiag will tell you all kinds of useful information bout your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryudo Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ok so..if i download the iso for the games my PC is too slow to play the games so it's pointless yes or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowrent Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yes,it's no use.It will run very slowly.Focus on PS1 and N64 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
