i was a member there yrs ago but didnt get on with one of the mods so left

 

[adgloride]

Most of the mods have changed on DCF and some arn't that active anymore. So you could come and give us a quick visit. I'm beginning to sound like I want to poach you from gbatemp

You mean this? http://prd.bluwiki.com/go/The_Dreamcast_FAQ

Well to be honest, the info I've gotten from these thread exceed that of that wiki. Of course I could be looking at the wrong stickied thread but... there is no mention of LBA/RGB/Detection patching etc, no region compat info, disk size info, scene info (kalisto, echelon) etc

 

[iamwhoiam]

Just another quick question: If I don't know if a game's been patched with an RGB patch before (and I find an RGB patch) can i just repatch the game? i.e. double patching usually doesn't do anything, so like no-harm-done sorta thing

 

[iamwhoiam]

Also can I ask the same question for patching it into a self booting CDI... double patching won't do anything will it?

Do you guy's think that the piracy killed the dreamcast? I rather think it kept it allive..

 

[Hadrian]

I don't think it killed the DC, look at the Playstation that sold millions because of piracy. I think there was many factures. The the likes of EA not supporting it and the fact that the Saturn, 32X and Mega CD kinda ruined Sega's reputation, people knowing PS2 wasn't that far away, Sega giving up easily.

I LOVED the DC because I didn't need to use the boot disc. In fact, I think the most costly part is buying the accessories like lightguns, arcade sticks, memory cards and the maracas which in turn is almost like having an arcade in your room. That said, I think I might buy another DC since my one is resetting on it's own a lot now.

SeanORLY: Lol, another Inverness GBAtemper.... never thought I'd see one.

their is a easy fix for dreamcast's that reset themselves
it's to do with the pins that connect the psu to the motherboard
all u need to do is take the dc apart and bend the pins slightly so they make better contact then put it back together

Heres a tutorial with pics to fix the resetting dreamcast.

Its a common problem, I've had to fix both my dreamcast with this fix. Make sure you push the pins right back (But don't break them). When you feel they won't go back anymore, stop pushing. If you don't push them back enough the reset problem will be back in a few weeks. Also don't forget when opening the dreamcast to remove the modem as theirs a screw underneath it.

No third party developers killed the dreamcast. Some third party developers wrote for the dreamcast at first. But eventually sega were making and releasing all their own games. They wrote some really good games as well. Just a shame the dreamcast never got a good football game.

 

[iamwhoiam]

i still can't belive sega managed to cram so much into such a small little square

love it

 

[mcsquared]

i made sure i cleaned the pins with wire wool too as they oxidise, works fine now 6+months after doing it. still enjoy sports jam
