Dreamcast/Saturn

[SuperSlim]

I'm thinking about maybe going old school and getting one of those systems.

So which one of those systems would be the better to get and also which of the two would have the better games? I'm rather undecided.

[Mooияakeя™]

Dreamcast all the way. There's still a huge following of homebrew developments for it too (by homebrew community standards anyway).

Get MSR for defo. Man, that console was just so underrated by the commercial people. But the PSX was damn awesome.

The Saturn was shit. But if u get one, u NEED to get Snatcher.

[Jeritron]

I have a dreamcast that I acquired for free last year. My roomate brought it to school for us to play, and then just didn't want to bother packing it at the end of the year.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Except for it isn't really my treasure. It's still sitting in my closet where I put it. One of these days I'd like to hook it up though.
You can burn games to play on it without a mod, which is crazy. Still too lazy to get and burn games though.

1) The Saturn was awesome

2) Snatcher was a Mega/Sega CD game

[Crazy Nick]

I have both the Saturn and Dreamcast, I would highly recommend the Dreamcast, it has some really good games and like others have said you can burn games without having to mod it. Also the sports games by Sega were some of the best. Also, check out Shenmue, its a game that you will either love or hate but personally is one of my favorite games of all time.

[G]

I would get a Saturn because it's the one I never had. Daytone USA was one of my favorites on there.

[RP]

I have a dreamcast and i love it. I play the Royal Rumble gam. Crazy Taxi and Resident Evil: Code Veronica i think its called. Love these games. I have 2k football game, but i still havent beat Resident Evil. Gunna hook it up now that i see this thread.

[G]

I got stuck on the part where you fight that boss on the plane. I didn't have enough ammo, so I coudn't kill him and was basically forced to restart. I didn't want to go through all the shit again so I didn't.

[The Mask]

dreamcast

shenmue
shenmue 2

[Indifferent Clox]

Dreamcast

[Destor]

I have both. Dreamcast easy.

[Fignuts]

Get Virtual On

[Mooияakeя™]

1) The Saturn was awesome

2) Snatcher was a Mega/Sega CD game


1) Whatever. Your opinion.

2) and? your point is?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

2) and? your point is?

The Saturn was shit. But if u get one, u NEED to get Snatcher.

My point would probably be that if he got one then took your advice and bought Snatcher, he could not play it.

[Kris P Lettus]

I have a working Saturn with like every game they ever put out for it (12).. I can't find the power cable though..

[Sovereigntywillpr]

I'll sell you a steering wheel and peddles(standard) for the saturn. I think i have 2 fasser guns too....area 51, the virtual cop games....

I'd love to play that on my projector now.....I might even have some games too...

[Sovereigntywillpr]

i have a power cable !

[Kris P Lettus]

I have the steering wheel.. I need both the power cable and the AV cable..

[Fignuts]

I need a sandwich.

[Kris P Lettus]

I got a knuckle sandwich for you..

[G]

K, so I have decided to hunt down a Dreamcast. Since you can burn every game for it, there's really no reason to buy a bundled system w/games, right? All games burn 100% flawlessly?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No, there's two models and the newer one (there is no reliable way to tell which, try to get one with a manufacture date before November 2000) doesn't play some of the older releases.

Also, not all games are selfboot. If it's in .cdi or .nrg format it should be put the disc in and run, but .iso games require a bootdisc.

[G]

I'd imagine there's a sticker on the bottom with a MFG date?

[Boomer]

Chu Chu Rocket is fucking awesome

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'd imagine there's a sticker on the bottom with a MFG date?

Yeah, but what I'm saying is ones made before that will all work, yet some made after that date will still work, it's just not known which ones.

None of the Sega Sports models (the black ones) work.

[G]

There's a store around here that has 1 for $24.99. Think I'm gonna go down and check it out. Is there anything I should be looking for?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Other than the date on the bottom, nothing I can think of.

Unless they'll let you try out a CD-R in store :shifty:

[G]

:D

:love:!!!!!!

Dated 12/99. Currently burning MvC2, with Hydro Thunder and Gauntlet Legends on deck. So exciteddddddddd. This is the guide I used, but is there anything more "current"?

I need to get a VMU, but will probably have to go with the 4X no screen ones. Maybe I'll find one to match my awesome green controller. :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'd burn with Alcohol 120%, it's update and works properly in Vista. IMGBurn unfortunatly doesn't support .cdi.

Also, hunt around for a Remix version of MvC2. Awesome soundtracks out there without that I wanna take you for a ride bullshit.

[G]

Okay, I must've done something wrong. Whenever I try to run it, it restarts the system and goes back to the system menu. Downloading 120% now, and see if that helps any.

[G]

Alright, it works now. Played it for a bit. Now to burn 23412 games. :D

[G]

2 things:

1. I'm having trouble getting bin/cue games to work. I've put them in when the utopia boot loader told me to, but nothing happens...disc doesn't start spinning or anything. I'm probably burning them wrong. I'm using Nero 8.


B. What game is this?

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001 .

http://www.gamespot.com/dreamcast/action/capcomvssnk2mf2001/index.html

I think the ps2, gamecube, and xbox versions were just called Capcom vs SNK 2 (EO on gamecube and xbox).

Okay, good. I just burned it a little bit ago. I didn't think that was it though, because the screenshots with it had a different title bar, like it curved down on the ends. I dunno. Whatever

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Burn the bin/cues with Alcohol or IMGburn

[LoDownM]

I didn't know you could burn DC games like that. Must get one. Loved playing Powerstone 2 and Skies of Arcadia back in the day :D

[Fignuts]

Shut up assman, Jeritron is going to give the dreamcast to me, fignuts.

[G]

Burn the bin/cues with Alcohol or IMGburn

I am. They just don't work.

[Gertner]

Sega Saturn was decent. I loved the Dreamcast, but I hated that damn controller. It was like holding a block of wood.

[Gertner]

I'm thinking about maybe going old school and getting one of those systems.

So which one of those systems would be the better to get and also which of the two would have the better games? I'm rather undecided.

Wouldn't you rather play with a 12 year old girl?

[G]

K, so I used a different program to burn bin/cue games, and they work now. Everything is groovy so far. Sucks I really can't get into anything until my VMU gets here. :(

If anyone is interested, I'm using this (http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cat_id=1) site which has awesome custom dvd covers for games. Will go nicely beside my 360/Wii games.

[Jeritron]

who wants the dreamcast? I am accepting trade offers

[Fignuts]

who wants the dreamcast? I am accepting trade offers

What kind of trades? Cause I don't swing that way, not even for a dreamcast.

But yes, I am interested.

[The Mackem]

I still have my Dreamcast, I think it's criminal how that died it's death so early. I thought it was fantastic.

[Jeritron]

I would loan my Dreamcast to someone I trusted, for collateral of course

[OssMan]

What do you want for the Dreamcast? Perhaps an SNES copy of Chrono Trigger?

[Jeritron]

I would def discuss SNES games

[G]

There was never any discussion of SNES games

[Purgatory]

bah, fuckin cliffhangers man. After 2 years you'd think at least one could have been mentioned.

[Xero]

I'll trade my Ghostbusters 1 and 2 for NES for Jeritron circa 2009's Dreamcast.

[Matt Gingarac]

Teenage mutant hero turtles for the NES was the bees-knees. Shredder was a cunt

[Xero]

Fucking "TMHT". Fuck off with your wrong-sounding IP's.

[OssMan]

Oh I got a Dreamcast a while ago. NBA Hoopz is the #1 sports game for it. Played Shenmue for a while and got fucking infuriated at it. Sonic Adventura, Pen Pen TriIceLon. I have Grandia 2 I think but haven't played it. Oh also some weird Japanese game Space Griffon.

[Blitz]

Got a DC in beautifully working condition. None of you fucks are getting your greasy mitts on it though.

[G]

Received this box today so I can plug in my DC into a spare monitor on my computer desk. I'm hoping this will get the DC more playtime, because it collected dust sitting next to my PS3 for a year.

[dingdongyo]

also have both, and would also recommend the dreamcast. i've been stuck on "record of lodoss war" for about 5 years now.

[James Steele]

I remember when I was younger one of my sister's friends let us borrow his Dreamcast while he was on vacation and I got hooked to freaking Shenmue. I was so pissed because I couldn't ever beat the challenge where you ride the motorcycle to a certain point under a certain time. I never knew how close I was to the end and what the rest of the story was. He also had a NES emulator on his Dreamcast that was freakin' sweet.
