OK think i can settle the 2 games per cd argument in a way that everyone will be happy with.

Playing CDDA is essentially cpu cost free.

if you stick more than one game on a disk you either need to mess with track numbers ( and change the 68k code ) which is far too much effort.

Otherwise you either need wav files or mp3s. The additional cpu cost of playing these - especially in mp3 form - will be too much for the DC, which can barely cope with the speed as it is.

Waste of time.

Due to the constant warez talk and backups progress will be much slower as i waste my time locking out cdr's I will find a way you know me i do the impossable. Im not going to check this topic any more.

I somehow knew this was gonna happen. Oh well. More waiting thanks to y'all.

He shouldn't have to say anything at all about the issue.

(the rest isn't directed at anyone in particular)

I don't give a damn about warez vs originals myself, I'm a collector, but I don't care what other people do. However, no matter which side you stand on, you respect the authors decision! Why? Because its THEIR PROJECT. If you don't like what they are doing with it, make your own, leave, something. If you make a suggestion, and it is rejected, oh well. It doesn't matter if you don't understand why they're doing it, or don't agree.

With that said, there are still many reasonable people on these boards that respect the rules. So I hope Ian doesn't let this get to him, and doesn't leave the boards altogether, but I can't blame him if he does. It isn't just because people disagree, it is the bickering, the attitudes, and the pestering.

well since I am in a financial crisis and can't afford games, I am no longer going for this project. I have absolutely no money to spend on myself since my hours at work has been cut drasticly. so I guess I should just support the Snes,Genesis and PCE emulation for DC (if PCE engine happens} as for neo I will just play with what I got and use neo rage for my personal use, this was a good idea until people ranted and ranted about warez and as I knew it was coming Ian has decided to take his time and lock out back ups. I was all for the project and now that I am flat broke there is no need for me to play this emu because I don't have the money to buy any game or anything, I just have the money for rent,internet and phone line. then I am flat broke with no money to spend at all. So Ian it was a cool project and ones who can afford the CDs enjoy yourself, I am moving on to the other emulation projects the DC has to offer, I am not offending Ian or anyone, However I am really angry that people in this forum have over talked the "back-up" topic which is not allowed according to the fourm rules.

I thank the people who tried to stop the warez talk. People just keep talking like Nagging women.......... so therefore as Ian stated it has come to this. Congrats to those who have money to buy the originals. As for me I am broke and can't root for ian on this project anymore therefore I am not with this anymore. I hope those who over talked the warez talk are proud of themselves. You should have kept quiet, so whatever. It was nice while it lasted.

actually by posting this kind of comments you dont help at all.
no emulator you can find here is intended to allow you to play games you downloaded because you are broke and cant afford them in their original form.
though youre still able to do it and its your personnal choice, but dont mention it as it will only irritate the authors.

Not sure if the mods know about the warez issues in this topic but i advise all to stop the talk of warez.

or risk the admins banning you.

Link2k4 · Post by **Link2k4** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 5:07 pm

Oh well, I am not posting anymore on this topic anyways, take care every body.

Post by **Christuserloeser** » Thu Jun 03, 2004 6:50 pm

I bet u weren't meant

Let's forget about it and all the talk and start over

Makes no sense at all who or why someone's using which backup... Just don't discuss it as it still is illegal and ever will be illegal.

Unfortunetely, unless Ian changes his mind, there isn't any going back. I think the mods need to keep a closer eye on threads like this in the future.

Quzar: If you read this, just promise that you'll stay in touch with Ian. Maybe he'll come back at a future date, as I've said before there are many people here that DO respect the rules and the authors.

I agree with this.

Dragging this topic away from a dubious area, does NeoCD/SDL DC V7.1 support PAL screen refresh rates. Last time I tried this emulator (back in V 4.5 i think) when I put the CD into my dreamcast it selfbooted but all of the screen was messed up as it was outputting in 60hz. Does it support 50hz now?

Fosters · Post by **Fosters** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 10:48 am

im pretty sure its still 60Hz.

FlamingBee · Post by **FlamingBee** » Fri Jun 04, 2004 12:13 pm

Bugger, I guess I will have to wait then. Any idea if 50hz support will be added in the future? I don't think it should be too hard to implement anyway.

Is there a way to read that bar code on ngcd games? I believe its ISS or something the name of the identifier thing :-p.

As far as I know hes still around, just not posting. Also I talked to him once or so about it, if he ever decided to quit he would most likely pass the project to me, and although Im no substitute, I would give it more attention than I do now.

Since it is in SDL, I dont think there is a way to make it show PAL (not sure...) but if there was there would have to be a slight change in the code as right now it is hardcoded to be 60hz.

I think there is, but without an example of how to do it on the DC it would probably be next to impossible for anyone working on it now to implement it.
