bleemcast makes a new appearance...

Post by djray »

some of you may know this but the infamous bleemcast beta is being bundled with PSX games and are being released as selfbootables w/ a loading screen

one of the first bundles was Parappa the Rapper... there's more in the works...

what are your views on this?

What he seems to mean is that certain groups of people have managed to combine the bleem!cast beta and Playstation games into a signle self-booted CD image, by-passing the b!c intro screen, basically making a PSX game emulated through b!c that loads just like a normal game.

Is Parappa actually playable? NONE of my PSX games were playable through the beta, except GTA which had almost no sound. Still, it did run at a much higher frame rate.

If it's being distributed, I would assume it is. I think I remember someone saying that. But as we're running the very great risk of pissing off some DCEmu regulars, and more particularly Rand Linden, I think it's best we not talk specifics about the beta emulator, and especially not exchange compatibility information :wink:.

The betas never supported saving to the VMU according to Rand, as this was to be implemented at a later date. The beta was only at 30% completeion.

So wait.....
Some unwholesome individuals out there are making illegal money from a leaked beta of someone's (well, a small team?) hard work and dedication? They are making money from the project that caused the team to be sued to oblivion by Sony and face massive legal bills?

fuckers. :x

sony never ll stop emulation and never in dc (even if is illegal)

I am happy an sad with this........why?

Rand worked very hard creating bleemcast and was so great, even if dreamcast survive (warezed betas) sony action, the rand greatest work was a waste of time (fuck sega , microsoft & sony) , bc! cant be powerfull like before

Rand loose, we loose and sony win (you dont know how i hate sony the sell us a piece of shit 2 (ps2) that have the worst graphic motor , microsoft make a super dreamcast (dc have same grafics without envidia chip, xbox only have more speed ) and nintendo with his little boys games bahhh

i prefer to play my outdated dc games than play some new games (halo if the exception)

Has someone managed the improbable task of improving the beta?

I thought that these builds used a cracked GT2 Bleemcast disk bundled with the games? Cause i've head they added saving and some game work 100% perfect that didnt work that way on BCB.

This shouldn't even be discussed, in respect for Rand.

No, but talking about a warezed/modified release of Rand's is disrespectful to him.
