Posted June 14, 2009 ..what are the pirated games? I have a few games that I can part with if you'd be interested.. Uefa Striker Slave Zero Jimmy White's Cueball 2 F1 World Grand Prix 2 Hidden & Dangerous V-Rally 2 Re-Volt Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (maybe ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 Worms Armageddon Bomberman Online Ecco The Dolphin Resident Evil Code Veronica House of the Dead 2 Tee Off Golf are the pirated games...can't seem to get them to run though..got the boot disk and it doesn't seem to be having any of it. Whats the deal with the VMU's and batteries? She said she thought it might need new ones but it seems to be working and managed to get a Crazy Taxi save going... If the battery runs out do you lose all you game saves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 ^ no you still have them. When you're playing with the VMU connected to the controller, the VMU uses power from the console and not the battery, which is only used when not connected to the controller. But the saves stay if it does run out of battery power so it's no problem. My VMU hasn't had a battery in it for years and it still has all of my saves.

Posted June 14, 2009 In 1999 I traded 1 madden n64 game for a dreamcast, 2 controllers, soul cailibur, power stone wars, An ECW game and Shemue. Was a pretty good deal methinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 Some great games there... I had Shenmue 1 & 2, Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Headhunter and Powerstone... all absolutely FANTASTIC and some absolute classics! Play Powerstone on the DC, it's sublime, then you can play the sequel on your PSP. Now you just have to get yourself RE: Code Veronica! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2009 I got my Dreamcast fixed earlier this year so it would stop resetting, and we set it up so we could play it again. Unfortunately, the telly we're using, which was once the games telly and was used to play DC games back then, can't get a decent picture on it anymore. EVEN THOUGH we have it all set up in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY as we did back in the day. I dunno, it might either be the telly or the cables we're using it. I doubt either of them are in good shape.

Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) I've decided now that I'll be biking around every saturday morning this summer looking for yard sales that may have retro consoles and games. Its sometimes a good thing when people don't know about games I guess. Edited June 14, 2009 by Emasher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 I've decided now that I'll be biking around every saturday morning this summer looking for yard sales that may have retro consoles and games. Its sometimes a good thing when people don't know about games I guess. Yeah it is a good thing...I very nearly picked up a PS2 and a Megadrive as well but they weren't in the best of conditions upon closer inspection... Here's my Dreamcast now taking pride of place next to my other consoles; Pic taken with my new camera I got for my birthday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 On the pirated games front, have you tried running them without the boot disc Flameboy? Just on the off chance that they may boot up there. If that doesn't work, then you could try and get a newer version of the utopia disc but it could be your console. After a certain period, the ability to play boot legs on your console seized to be. The launch units all had it in and I think most of the stuff up to about 2000 did as well. There's a way to check but I don't know what it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2009 Yeah sorry my bad...only meant to mention it...was an odd surprise none the less when the woman took my money and whispered in my ear that it they were at the bottom of the box... cos it had writing saying Dreamcast 5 games etc.... no mention of the piracy...its not something I'm gonna keep up with...much rather build up a legit collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 On the VMU battery front: The batteries are only used to power it when it's being a "mini console". The batteries arent used for the memory card side of things. Although when the battery is dead, the VMU will beep every time the DC is turned on. IIRC, they are the same batteries used to power the Saturns memory.

Correct on all accounts I have to say, flamey, I'm quite liking the look of that TV.. you're making me jealous How does the Dreamcast, Wii and N64 look on that thing?

Thanks for the VMU advice guys, turns out got 3 not 2 found another in the bottom of the box...so got 3, one is boxed... Cheers! Love my TV! Wii looks great with component cables, shitty on scart. N64 doesn't look great no matter what! Dreamcast still looks on great on RF but think will pick up a scart cable for it at some point... One thing the Dreamcast really could have used a second analogue stick, was giving echo the dolphin a quick whirl and found myself going for a second analogue stick to turn the camera...

Posted June 14, 2009 What the fuck?! I remember seeing Shenmue 1 and 2 in Gamestation when I was younger, preowned for around 25 each. That deal you got is stupidly sweet. Idiot people! That's a sweet collection you've got there. Long live thy Dreamcast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2009 Absolute bargain, Shenmue 2 is worth £30+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2009 Rez was giving me trouble today.. it didn't want to work I eventually got it to play and did a couple of stages but after I turned it off, I tried putting it back on again and no luck I checked online to see if it is a common problem and it seems I'm not alone The disc is in perfect condition so it's frustrating.. I just hope it works more often than not.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
