Blasted Import Problem. >_<

This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

Blasted Import Problem. >_<

Post by Rick »

OK, yeah. I just got the Japanese version of Street Fighter III: Third Strike, and I've been trying to get it to work on the DC. It's all modded and stuff, and it can play the emu stuff just fine, but the problem is it won't accept the game. The game will read the CD track thing on it, but it won't read it as a Dreamcast game itself. I've tried starting the game at the menu thing, but no luck.

I'd like to try and resolve this without a boot disk, since I don't have any CD-Rs to make one. Any suggestions, guys? You're the experts.
Oh my frickin' God! You've been caught on the Meta-Mod!

Make sure there's a MODCHIP installed. It's requried to enable the Dreamcast to accept any sort of imported game.

Alternatively, there are avalible images that allow you to use a swap method. This allows you, without any sort of modification to the actual Dreamcast itself, play imports. If you do some Google searches, you'll definately find them without trouble.
