@ AgentGreen: If you can paint it yourself, I could do one for you, it'll be a usb port in a HDD panel with a 14" wire coming out of it that you can plug in a usb port (actually a usb extension fited in a HDD panel). My hdd panle is white, painted black, but the paint ain't my skill at all. I w...

Lol, gimme that case and I already got everything on my desk to replace the guts of it ... (a 90% done DCp)

About the boting problem, it looks like you needs to clean to psu connections (with sandpaper, or use solder to make it always connected), it's the only problem I can see.

Actually, everybody i know, including myself, wich has tried to put a composite out from a dc to a psone screen, got this black stripe, simply because DC games might not be in the same exact ration than PSX games (4:3 or whatever) or maybe because they're 640x480 and converted down to 320x240 or so....

Thank you !

The both controllers works as original ones, and there's no "latency".

A switch would be possible, but it'd require a 14pin switch ... or for the nes controlelr only, a 9 pin one ...

But wouldn't it be possilbe to hack the hacked bios to include it into the actual file you have to flash onto your DA ??


Just a random idea of course, I really Dunno if it'd works...


-=FamilyGuy=-

The un-hacked bios is already released ... since christmas ...

HERE

Also, I don't know if this unhacked bios is the bios that you have to flash your unit with the units to do so, I even doubt it's the way to do so (sorry for bad grammar on this one)

I happen to have a tool from an unknown author wich is called gdinfo. it's useful to get many of the infos of an ip.bin, and mainly used to get the TOC of the HD area of a gd-rom. But it is long to always write like 20 lines of text to get it to works, and almost impossible to get a text file out of...

This *might help*

It don't hurts looking on http://benheck.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=6 since there's a lot of good modders out there.


-=FamilyGuy=-

You might find a way to amke a game to boot on your console, using a custom region byte thyat woulb (miraculously) fit the corrupted on you got in your flash (if it's really your problem) ... Otherwise, you can change your mobo or if you're good at soldering/desoldering, I can give you a dead mobo(y...

@miggi03 : you're kinda F***ed @everyone else : Swat released region changer 1.7, wich lack (unworking) region free, but add a black swirl option. http://dc-swat.net.ru/news/#nid0 Here's also a EU HKT-0120 bios in case you'd want it, we still need to find a value for the 294th bytes to set the bios ...

Haha !

Good work !

*waiting for SWAT to add this into region changer ....*


-=FamilyGuy=-

Well, that's cool :p You still need region changer and the vmu cd to put this slightly modified flash to your dreamcast. But wich region will your dreamcast be then, using the RBIOS ? Now you've got everything to do a dremcast with a cool intro :P [edit] If all that you want is the bios intro, would...

Sorry for double post, but here's some good news Puch666 is agree to release the bios so here it is : http://d.turboupload.com/d/1800243/hack.zip.html Thanks to him for it ! and here's info on the bios's region : I will try to explain the region issue: HBIOS & HFLASH => HKT0120 BIOS & FLASH ...

If you can't run any apps, your kinda in big trouble ...

What did you use region changer for ??

Is your console a japanese one ?

-=FamilyGuy=-

Actually it is because ip0000.bin (there have allways been 2 ip.bin files in GD-ROMS, one ip0000.bin located in the low density track (but not repertoried by the track's toc, and thus invisible by the iso9660 fs ) and one in the high density track called ip.bin located at sector 45150 of the GD-ROM...

Oh ... They put it twice ? ... Maybe because it's a data/data selfboot cd ... I'll test it with both removed. [EDIT] It only worked with Japan ip.bin ... really dunno why though ... Maybe Puch666 modded it so it is a japan bios, because the original bios ( on the hkt-0120 itself ) is region free. I ...

Well, I'll ask, but I noticed that my chankast would boot any region games even iwth my own dreamcast's bios ...

Weird no ? ...

Anyway you can still test the images I sent with yours ...

Yeah, but to ahve it on a retail console, they must update region changer :P Also, I just tested if the hkt-0120 hacked bios is really multi-region, and in fact it's region free ... It boots J, U, E and NONE region coded games (I always modify my image in the ip.bin on the JUE thing AND the For USA ...

They released this really-simple update to region changer based on infos mathieulh said on this forum, at the time he though it was working, but it wasn't it was japan but with a blackswirl, he thought it was working because usually black swirls don't boot games. So it's not SWAT fault, nor mathieul...
