Dreamcast commercials - place to get?

Lartrak · Post by **Lartrak** » Wed Jan 15, 2003 1:24 am

I'm making a disc for the video game store I work at, which has a rarely looked at DC display, and I wanted to put some DC commercials on there (along with some emulators, nxDoom, a few other things). Anyone know a place to get them?

http://dc.ign.com should have a whole bunch of media clips. A lot are in Japanese though. Does your store have an online site?

If your planning on Selling those commercials or emulators that is illegal. Even if you say there free for buying a Dreamcast (or other store item) its illegal. In fact I don't think you can even give them away for free period if your a business.

Yes you can - you just can't sell them. Oh, and be careful with stuff like emulators and nxDoom. You can't distribute ROMs, and you can't distribute the registered/commercial data from Doom. I'm not even sure you can distribute the shareware version on a CD, but I assume you could.

Of course, if it's just for a display and you don't intend to give them away, go ahead.

Id say you could give away the shareware version of Doom On CD.

id software, in the endscreen of Doom shareware, wrote:DOOM: Knee-Deep in the Dead can be freeley distributed

Direct quote there, including the strange colours.

id software, in the endscreen of Doom shareware, without the stupid colours this time, wrote:DOOM: Knee-Deep in the Dead can be freeley distributed

I guess that means we can freeley distribute it, and that (to me at least) means we can put it on a Dreamcast CD with nxDoom and give it away. Just don't sell it.

We're not selling or giving any away. It's just a display to catch peoples eye, I know about the legal issues of emulation, etc. I don't want to get fired.

We have nintendo reps that come by, I'm sure they'd be pretty miffed if we were selling/giving away said discs. In fact, because of the nintendo reps, I've considered deleting the NES portion of it. I don't think I actually will.. I'm just gonna reduce it to ROMs of cartridges I actually own or something...

Technically, even displaying those commercials without the permission of the copyright holder is illegal. Of corse this does not apply to personal, home use.

Any way to watch those vids on your PC?

Use Bero's SFD2MPG converter. Although I believe that most of those video's are offline now.

Yeah you are right. Just about every link I clicked on is broken. I really wanted to see that Castlevania Resurrection video.
