Re: Dreamcast SD Card Reader: Can it boot .bin?

Hello OzOne. I just bought a sd card reader and sd card. The "Russian site" has info and videos but is confusing. Why must I change bin files, and to what, title different ? If I download beat of rage type homebrew "dciso" or "iso" how do I get that to work on my dc ? P...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

It is 896 kb. The sizes are in bytes, not KB. main.dat alone wouldn't fit on the disc if the sizes were in KB. Anyway, if I paste the letter posted in the OP into a text editor, make sure there's a newline at the end of the file, and recode to have MS-DOS line endings, it's 895 bytes. My guess is t...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Ok, I did what dcdream suggested (however when I d/l the app he suggested it is named something else when I boot up my dc but w/e), I put my retail version of SSP in and hit rescan and hit right trigger until I found the Echelon txt file on the retail version of SSP ! So OP proved it was on his copy...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

You have it exactly backwards. The file is on the retail release and is not on the Echelon release. Ok. But I asked for a screenshot of retail version with this "Gary letter to Echelon txt file". So far, NO proof of this. If you're going to write such giant walls of text the least you cou...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Thx to dcday and ph3nom. I don't have that Echelon version with great Genesis box art and other cool menu art. Is that first version of SegaGen ? There is a hidden spiderman game in one of the Ech SegaSmashPack versions ? Where is it hidden on main disc screenshot you posted ? Or is it only in code ...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Did you even think about using the search function for any topic within this forum? Yes. My sd reader is broke, waiting for new one. Maybe that is WHY I can't post a screenshot now. :roll: As I said to Blue and other guy, I can't do it right now if that is process. Dcp2.0 is also like ds4, but I ha...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

What do you not understand about my already said post to Blue that I can't rip the game from a dreamcast like he suggests, the only tool I know is isobuster like OP used, I don't have bba...plus when I asked how to do this like OP nobody directly told me the process ? I never said it's easy for me t...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Even if someone produced a rip of the GD-ROM I get the feeling you'd claim it was faked. Answer me this, what does |darc| have to gain by lying about this 4 years ago? Hint: absolutely nothing. It don't matter what you feel, your wrong about that assumption. I never said he was lying nor suggested ...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Use one of the various ripping tools to rip the game from your Dreamcast (for instance over a bba) then look at the main data track from the high density area of the disc (which would often be the 3rd track in total including the stuff from the low density area). You cannot simply put the game in y...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Have you ripped the smash pack yourself and looked at the main data track of the high density area of the disc? I posted a screenshot above of where I checked using same program and computer process he did. Tell me the process just in case I got it wrong to look in main section (extract exe ?) and ...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

Ok thank you for info but not sure how either is a history lesson. I can get many games to work on "b! beta" and nothing in those first paragraphs proves Gary wrote anything to Echelon. I linked my forum here, but link was erased. I knew about both, but you indeed went more in depth with b...

Re: Smash Pack programmer wanted Echelon to release ROM Load

I don't own a copy of the Sega Smash Pack myself. However, I'd trust |darc| not to lie about things of this nature. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, that would be in the high density area of the disc, so you wouldn't see it if you put the disc in your PC. You would have to rip the game using...

Blue, what about question I posted in this thread above. Can this "Gary story" be verified ? = = = Ok thank you Blue. Was my "new 2012 game" thread legal to post ? New DC game 2012 / Rehash Unreleased 1998 game ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kkdl0brikE&feature=player_embed...
