i have found a problem using the US version of MDK2's extras.
When I was playing the different out takes which are .wav, near the end of .wav file, the sound gets badly distorted.

What was the worst game? Dear Lord, do these people think that Soul Fighter is better than Shenmue? In that case the world as we know it is coming to an end. While Shenmue was dull at times and the gameplay a little lacking, once the story started to progress, you were trapped in it. Gee, if they th...

Its still a horrible idea though.
Plain and simple it is. O foolish me for posting such a stupid question. Call it my newbie mistake. Do not worry, next time I should ask about the feasibility of a GameBoyAdvance Emulator, or N64 emulator.

Now this topic should be allowed to die quietly.

Should be an XBOXEMU and DCEMU contest.

Think all the best devers of both scenes going head to head to see who produces the more technically impressive programs or games. Programmers and artist could divide into dev teams and see which console and dev scene can outprogram the other. This will produce interest in both scenes, and create qu...

I have always used the Utopia Boot Disk, or the SUPER GAME CONVERTER (Gamestop way of ripping me off, by making me by a bootup disk for Shenmue II, anyway) and these disk have worked for all my imports except one: Rez. Is there anyway to get the pal Rez to work on a US Dreamcast?

The potential of the scene growing large enough to actually attract some mainstream attention is better for the Dreamcast than it is for the Jaguar, or even the 2600. The problem is tapping that potential and making something come of it. Yes this scene does have potential. There are dedicated Dream...

It is probably the disk. Many stores will take used games that are in bad condition and run them though a professional disk cleaner. The GameStop where I lived did that. I had to return 3 copies of Quake III Arena just to find one that works. Also many Dreamcast do not like games that have gone thro...

Whoa, I'm a cool Newbie :mrgreen:

,But anyway, is there anyway to get the Pal Version to boot up on a US DC. Are there other bootdisk besides Utopia and the store bought one that I have that will possibly give me a better chance of booting it up?

This topic was not meant to become a DC vs. PS2 topic. DC vs. PS2 is an argument potential vs. proven and those arguments never go good. This is simply a topic to discuss if this console comparison is valid. Yes all the consoles have good games, but lets just make sure this does not turn into a flam...

Ian Micheal I am not sure if you read the article. That info about the developers not getting more than a million polygons per second is in another topic called "How many polygons can the Dreamcast render?". This is a different article than that. I do find it odd that they do not compare t...

Segatech Console Compare. Is it accurate?

My friend was on goolge the other day because I asked him what the fillrate of the Dreamcast was and he found this. It is a comparison of the Dreamcast, the XBox, and the GameCube. There is no direct link on the Segatech site to this article, but is on the site. Here it is: http://www.segatech.com/t...

Thanks for the post. I did not buy a dreamcast until it was cancelled. So far I have been building my collection only from bargin bins, and Gamestop. I have ~30 dreamcast games. The only import I have is Shenmue II, and that is only because a local Gamestop had it.

Best Online store besides EBAY for DC imports?

I am thinking of getting Rez, Ikaruga, Guilty Gear X, and possible
the Dreammovie player with a remote. Where is the best place to get these?

So if you had to put a number on the max number of polygons per character for a 3d fighting game using this engine what would it be? I just need a rough estimate to work off of. Any information would be helpful.

How good is the Iris3d graphics engine?

I want to make a 3d fighting game, kinda like a primative soul calibur, but I do not have the time to code a graphics engine myself. So, how good is the Iris3d engine? What effects does it have? Can this engine push complicated models? How many polygons could put on a model? Does it use the PVR2? Do...
