ksonic1055 Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 This game works perfectly on nullDC, except for Action stage, Twinkle Park. When it begins to load this stage, nullDC just crashes. Is there a patch to fix this? like a ppf to apply to the cdi? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 AFAIK, No. At least I haven't come around a single PPF patch for Dreamcast emulators (most likely because PPF patches are created so that an emulator can bypass, let's say, a copy protection checks etc.). PPF patches rarely to never correct imperfect emulation. And DC emulators if any are one of the most buggy emulators around, even if nullDC happens to be the best of the bunch. Or then your CD image is corrupt. Besides, it also could be that nullDC has poor PAL emulation. I would always use NTSC version since they are faster and smoother.

ksonic1055 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thanks, but i cant find a NTSC anywhere, and i wouldnt want to download one illegally. Can i use an actual DC disk, or does it have to be a rip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksonic1055 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 OK then. Hopefully this isnt against a rule or anything, but any ideas where to get a rip? I already have the real disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 It is against a rule to ask where to get a rip,but as JKKDARK says, you could rip your owndisk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksonic1055 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Using disc juggler? And out of curiosity, why wont the regular disc work? If i make a copy of it, wont it be the same thing after i burn the image to a disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 And out of curiosity, why wont the regular disc work?Because a GD-ROM disc is physically different from DVD-ROM discs, and AFAIK, uses a different filesystem (I could be wrong on this one though).

ksonic1055 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 well then doesnt that mean my drive wont be able to rip it? so how can i make a copy of it? unless youre telling me i need to stream it from the DC's drive somehow, but if so, how is this possible?

However, the information is available on the Internet. Supposedly a special cable and perhaps a DVD drive firmware modification is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
