FINALLY got a chance to actually play it. This is DEFINATELY one of the best mods that I've ever played, but why are the loading times so immense? Just what causes it to take so long? Is it the weapons? Because I've always wanted to play a mod with weapons you can pick up. That's a rare feat, and this game is REALLY awsome, but again...the loading times! URGH! I'm typing this up as I'm waiting for it to start the next level. Is there any way to optimize it? Sorry for complaining, but it's such a great game...it shouldn't be held back by MASSIVE waiting periods...

EDIT: nvm. It was because I had saving on. Anyways, the game freezes on me in some spots, but otherwise, it's a blast to play. Thanks for this awsome mod.

Yeah, enabling the Memory Saving mode makes loading times insane. However there seem to be some problems with the game that's rooting in the OpenBoR engine, not in the memory limitations of the Dreamcast nor PSP. I am sure Samurai X and CGRemakes are looking into it, but some detailed bug reports would help a lot.

As some of you might already know from my post in the main forum, we released the final version of Battletoads DC a couple of days ago:

I wrote:DCEvolution.net proudly presents a ready-to-burn Special Dreamcast Edition of bWWd's fantastic Battletoads!

While the game itself is identical to the initial release, a lot of changes and optimizations have been made to technical structure so now it finally runs from start to end in all game modes - without the RAM saving enabled!

In addition all other reported bugs in the original version have been fixed - Namely all slowdowns and the transparency problems with the cutscenes in the 'Zombie Party' game mode.

The game itself took eight long months to create and it shows: Battletoads DC is based on an enhanced OpenBoR engine and uses many new and rarely used features.

More facts:
- Four playable characters: Rash, Pimple & Zitz plus Sketch Turner from Comix Zone
- Five entirely different game modes: T.Bird Rescue, Revenge & Rematch plus Zombie Party & Comix Zone.
- Loads of unique moves and stages - plus weapons!

Got to this page for the download. Printable covers will follow soon.

Big thanks to Samurai X for updating the Dreamcast port of OpenBoR.

for some reason whenI tried to Burn it with Discjuggler, I keep gettin this "Xeal.cjb.net" error for some reason. everytime I burned the image and put it in the Dreamcast, It sends it back to the CD menu. Same thing goes for Final Fight the last Round. Any other suggestions? :o
Yeah I'm Back, So Be Happy!

Actually I rarely ever use DiscJuggler. Try burning the CDIs with Alcohol120% or BootDreams' CDI Burner. BootDreams is freeware and Alcohol120% has a free trial version available:
