You could use a VMU tool to copy over a DreamSnes save. I think those are already compressed some way. If that was true you could try to memic there compression and totally just use that format.

You could just ask them. They're actually quite helpful.

Oh, and if it's compressed, it's using zlib. DreamSnes (well libronin actually) has zlib in it, and it'd be silly of them not to use it.

Does DC take CDRWs? I have no CDR left, damn.

no CD-RW doesn'T work for some reasons out of my knowings !

as for what i was telling 2 or 3 pages ago... just forget about it, you are too morons to understand how a graphic cards really work !
so just forget about it !

and yes, ROM means READ ONLY MEMORY, but do you really think that what you are interpretting doesn't have data ?
ROM means only that you can't change it. or so was it suppose to when it was in the cartridge, but as far as i know, there are data in that ROM which is a program in itself. that's how things works, so yeah a ROM is a PROGRAM reguardless of how you see it !

good to see you got a few things working scerzo, seems you be ont he right track !
as for the save games, well i don't care if i have to start everything back form zero, i'm accustomed too. i'll be just happy to see another emulator running my games.

and what the other guy was saying, is that compatibility is falling into the SPEED category for him, as in SPEED is as much important then COMPATIBILITY, or so i think he said !

in any case, GOOD LUCK on this project of yours, such a hard task !

Sheng CDRW's require a little more laser power to read them, there are ppl who have turned up the power on there laser in their DC, but I would be really careful if you decide to do it.

A new picture was done today (may be able to be used for exit back to the Dreamcast):

I like the dreamcast icon. It's perfect. One little request though... can you turn it on for me? I think a little bit of orange in the top of the triangle would be the final touch.

sheng · Post by **sheng** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 2:30 pm

Yes I will and here it is!

I also notice that the triangle was point up, also fixed

Strapping Scherzo · Post by **Strapping Scherzo** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 2:35 pm

Nice! it's alive!.
Now, I think the triangle is pointing the wrong way on the controller too then.

Strapping Scherzo · Post by **Strapping Scherzo** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 2:37 pm

How do you make those little icons anyways? They look to perfect to be done by hand, pixel by pixel.

Oh, hehe... I'm at work and didn't have a good mental picture of it. Kinda backwards on Sega's part, don'tcha think? Also, I bet this has been brought up before but... why did they have to have the cord come out the side farthest away from the console?
I have a converter to use Playstation pads on my DC. I use that most of the time.

sheng · Post by **sheng** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 2:52 pm

I hate the way that the DC pad can bee pulled out even by a baby. It sucks.there should be a be locked...

I guess I am too morons to understand

Since it was recently added to the quick reply section, i feel it appropriate to use this.

i'm not sure i understood what you meant correctly but if you mean why the controler's cord has to go out from the bottom of the pad instead of its top i suppose it was the simplest way to allow puru puru and vm to be inserted/removed.
anyway it doesn't change a lot since you can block the cord on the controller's back so it goes in the good sense
