Re: In The Line Of Fire Early Access Beta Released To Public

Hearing all of what happened is really depressing. Totally agree with you darc, as you already know it's not that long ago since I took an interest once more in this place and the Dreamcast in general, and even though I've contributed nothing of note to the indie scene it really IS depressing to se...

Re: In The Line Of Fire Early Access Beta Released To Public

Before I say anything I just want to say. I have worked with most indie developers. In that case, by default, you should know that all this is just history repeating itself. Deadlines are important. If anyone thinks deadlines are important when it comes to developing software for the Dreamcast cons...

Re: In The Line Of Fire Early Access Beta Released To Public

Good to hear from you again, and congratulations on your new job. I'm assuming some of the exposure from "In The Line Of Fire" had influence on someone? If so, I wouldn't call anything a failure. Thanks for the Alpha build, I'm looking forward to giving it a test run. Leaving the community...

Re: Help uploading a .VMS minigame to a VMU

Have you tried the VMI Editor from here:

http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmieditor/?lg=en&menu=on

You can edit or create a VMI file online by filling in the data fields then use 'Save VMI' to download your VMI.

Hope that helps.

Re: Senile Team preparing to announce new game

Great to see you guys still around.

The silhouette teaser pic nods towards a fighting game, the character proportions also look a little like Fightoon, is this new game going to be a commercial release?

Nice Age of the Beast animations by the way. :grin:

Re: Help with DC file conversion

No problem, happy to help. I've been away from the Dreamcast community for a number of years so I'm a little bit behind with all the homebrew games, especially OpenBor games (that's why I needed to see the readme file). Here's a download page for the original version of the game, it's on the site th...

Re: Help with DC file conversion

I must warn you that I've spotted the name 'Ripfire' next to your drive, that's the name of the guy who compiled that CDI, he was notorious for messing around with game files (the game data files within a .PAK file) so it might not be the original version of that game.

Almost $30,000 off the mark does point to bad timing, it's certainly nothing to do with the talent involved and the potential of the game itself.

Re: New Sega Official Megadrive Emulator Discovered and Rele

The difference with this emulator is that everything is self-contained in one binary and thus there is no mechanism to receive those parameters. Of course!, now it makes sense, cheers. Using DreamON (or the US Demo Menu, or whatever you're using with the Ginsu library) this emulator would load but ...

Re: New Sega Official Megadrive Emulator Discovered and Rele

Just browsing through the main binary file of this emulator and it is the Dream Library/Smash Pack emulator with a different front end menu, not sure if there's many changes code wise to the emulation though (probably not). Way back in 2002 ZacMC sent me some plain files he'd been messing around wit...

Thanks for the info |darc|, if I get the chance sometime in the near future I'll try the emulator out. So this is quite possibly the Smash Pack emulator with a region changing facility? nice find. Does it also compare to the DP Dream Library Genesis emulator? I'm not sure if anyone ever did find out...

Re: New Sega Official Megadrive Emulator Discovered and Rele

Very interesting!

Was this going to be included in a European version of the Smash Pack or was it another Genesis emulator for a different Dreamcast release?

Can the emulator be manipulated or 'tweaked' for personal use? (DreamONGen II springs to mind). :wink:

Does anyone here use Twitter?

I'm trying to get in contact with Curt Grymala and Twitter seems to be the only place he currently posts at (or Tweets at, or whatever the hell you call it).

Seeing as I'm in the process of sending countless e-messages to family and friends who can't make it to my neck of the woods for the festive period, just thought I'd drop by here and wish everyone remaining in the community a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. :grin:

Re: Where to buy an SD-Card Adapter?

Unfortunately, there are people who will do that. Also unfortunately, unless the copyright holders threaten to sue, there's probably nothing that can be done other than some sort of public shaming (which doesn't usually tend to work either). Does it really have to come to this? It really is a sad s...
