aaaahh good job.
Added Shenmue UNDUB by smith and RDC
795mb .cdi 3 disks

The Revive DC final undub version: Optimized, PAL Region, JP Speech/ENG Subs, CDDA, Complete

its PAL with JP sub hack, the kogami CD2 seems to be bugged and suffers random dissaperaing NPC and bugged cutscenes because no actors are loaded.


THATS NO WAVERACE MANG

>>2460115
Cheers, bro. That spreadsheet was done on the previous thread, and I think someone made a post with a couple more releases, actually.

See, I don't think the game is as ugly as people put it, specially considering it was a launch title. The one other track I really like was Alaska, since that one had a shitton of alternate paths.

I just don't see why it can't share the spot of "fun water racing game" along with Hydro Thunder is all.

>>2459402
This is a terrible image to start a DC thread with, Anon-kun.

>>2460216
At least it's not a ps2 game

>>2460115

Wasn't smith going to update the undub ?
The undub is missing some lines and some arcade game.

I downloaded a huge set of Self-boot Dreamcast games. I don't know if these are better than ReviveDC because I don't own a Dreamcast YET but I'm more than willing to upload any of the games if you guys want.

>>2459402

ReviveDC is kill?

>>2460253
Releases taken down by author because he thinks they're "not up to standard" even though they're usually the best releases around.

Also, look up NoBS-DC on Isozone since his releases are pretty good, but he doesn't have an actual release list, he only updates his list on every new release, which sucks ass.

>>2460224
IDK, kogami undub is missing apporx 3% untranslated text as the JP ver contains more dialouge, so I imagine its the same.

>>2460246
is that the 525gb dreamcast torrent?

>>2460253
yah some bullshit about imporving the quality or something stupid.
the isozone uplaoder cloudstore was a piece of shit anyway. mega allday everyday

Does anyone have the ReviveDC Army Men release? I was looking for it before finding out the group went kaput.

>>2460264
Here's the latest one I could find, by the way.

>>2460246
>I don't know if these are better than ReviveDC

There's no better version than those.

>>2460265
>IDK, kogami undub is missing apporx 3% untranslated text as the JP ver contains more dialouge, so I imagine its the same.

Sorry i meant kogami, which is a french user right ?
I remember reading about an update in autumn.

Guys i added jojo for matching service https://mega.co.nz/#!0JMmXChY!cQCvUnuhdV8Hd-xawb-ZQlKK7uYujLqhGqXLjrKUPw4

And record of lodoss war https://mega.co.nz/#!8R0QHTpR!QL5vIY3eQL8I4hiE-RctEwIOeypRlGj4TO7JhOU8tKI

I care to specify that lodoss is a DCres release, which was prior to reviveDC, it's the only optimized version available, reviveDC never released lodoss.

>>2460273
oh,
yeah well he said he wanted to do a 2.0 with the updated translated text but tbh after playing through disk 2, well, not playing it because of NPC not showing up bugs and cut scene hangs because of no actors, it would be nice to see a bug fix rom more than a text update ha.

I know he was busy and started on other projects so ill assume its dropped for now, but dont quote me!

>>2460265
Nope, around 150 gb which is far from complete but there are some good games here.

>>2460272
Too bad it's gone.

>>2460294
>Too bad it's gone.

I still have releases to upload.

>>2460298
You've got any Japanese releases?

What other alternative do I have for self-booting/Burn compatible isos?

>>2460284
>record of lodoss war
great fucking game, I forget about that one.

This is all I've got from them. Where should I upload? Mostly NTSC, with a few exceptions (Crazy Taxi is PAL I think, and Ikaruga is NTSC-J obviously)

>>2461185
>Army Men
Yes! That'd be great!

All of the links on the spreadsheet are MEGA, so you can go ahead and upload them through there if you can.

what is ReviveDC? are you guys just posting download links for DC games or are the isos modified in some way?

>>2461274
https://mega.co.nz/#!qdF2XZhQ!LzwmXksM8u3pYraNi2huvpJkY7nGfDpu32JvCcUKBYc
Here's Army Men, I'll get to compressing and uploading everything else I've got.

>>2461291
Basically the format for an original Dreamcast game is a GD-ROM, which had about 1 GB of storage space. Regular discs are 700mbs so there are some losses when converting the GD-Roms into cdi, specially by a lot of groups.

ReviveDC is pretty much the best release group around that had most of their releases be near or completely lossless. But the author had a shit-fit and decided to take all of the releases out because "quality" issues or something. So people here have been re-uploading stuff.

>>2461295
Cheers, bro!

Is ReviveDC much better than DCRes? I downloaded the DCRes complete pack some time ago and it's served me well.
Also, has anyone here modded a light into their VMU?

If I've got a ReviveDC release that hasn't got a link on the spreadsheet, I assume I should upload that? I've got OutTrigger.

>>2461412

I've had problems with DCRes releases before. Also they put bullshit scene splash screens at the beginning of their games.

>>2461431
You assume right! OutTrigger is pretty awesome with 4 players locally, by the way. My favorite map's the jap castle.

>>2461412
I think some of the releases on DCRes have some bad audio degradation.

The latest .nfo I could find on RDC, with a list of releases.
http://pastebin.com/tND8CwJs

Dunno how accurate it is. Also, can I just say that I fucking hate cloudstor.es? Can they fucking migrate their servers or whatever because a ton of rips I want to download are fucking broken links and have been for a while now.

>>2461185
Could you upload HotD2? Been looking around for that.

Also looking for Dead or Alive 2, Record of Lodoss War (which should exist as an RDC release according to .nfos I've seed), Sega Bass Fishing, Virtua Fighter 3tb, and Fire Pro Wrestling D Translated, which is on isozone still but the fucking link is dead. Bastards.

>>2461497
Gonna take a while, reuploading everything because I'm dumb and forgot to write down the 10minutemail I used for my mega account.

>>2461497
https://mega.co.nz/#!rdFBkDYZ!ed_wKMC-VwJuZxWhcKplD0zBllYjs6Ewbx2Pxwc9vs8
Here you are, anon.

>>2461575
Thanks, you're a doll.
On a slightly unrelated note, is there anyone here with experience replacing dreamcast lasers? Mine is kaput unfortunately, even though I tried to fix it, I could only get it to "booting retail games intermittently" (got some good games of sega marine fishing in though).

What should I do? Order a new laser off ebay? Do one of those crazy swaps with a CD-R drive I've heard about? Just say fuck it and buy a new dreamcast?

>>2461583
1. Install dreamshell and get an SD card.
2. Never worry about lasers or drives again
3. ???
4. Profit

>>2461678
The compatibility isn't there for me, yet. I'm keeping my eye on it, though, because worst case scenario I can retrofit this broken old girl with dreamshell/GDEMU at some point and still have a working dreamcast.

Shenmue [v1.001](EU)(M4)

https://mega.co.nz/#!8EknnKJB!U3r39AEa5DxEC1c759Ahmncev2LsJeVkqawNG_iCXqY

Guys can somebody find some information about this release ?
It's probably the best one for PAL, i remember atreyu commented that it was optimized and that the only thing that has been slightly downgraded is the audio.

Does anyone happen to have a backup of this Skies of Arcadia release? http://theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/skies-of-arcadia-ntsc-u-80min-vga-compatible---yzb/

I think it's the better one around there but it was yet another release consumed by the cloudstor.es server shitfest.

>>2463070

I have it, someday i will upload it.

I asked this in a previous thread that got deleted. What was Sega's logic for giving the Dreamcast controller less buttons than the Saturn analog pad? How come there was no C and Z buttons?

>>2463115
4 buttons was the standard and they gave in
buy a mad catz dream pad, it's a top tier dreamcast controller with Z and C above Y and B

>>2463073
Thanks in advance, man!
>>2463115
>That Saturn Pad
Boy am I glad I bought one new. I just wish they would've been able to take the "stick" and use it on the dreamcast controller, that would've been nice.

>>2462054

http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue-w-cdda-passport-multi-4/

Yes, it's the best version available of shenmue 1.

>>2463139
>Yes, it's the best version available of shenmue 1.
What's the best version for Shenmue 2?

>>2464634

http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue-ii-full-speech-version-80min-disc/

I will upload this too.

>>2464661
Thanks, man.

Actually, I'm wondering how this release http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue/ which was uploaded about 4 months ago compares to >>2462054 at least in terms of audio quality, since it doesn't mention anything about audio loss.

>>2464812

Seems like the best US version out there, it has hard linking and space optimization.

>>2464850
>>2464812
Aaand it looks like the servers got to this one too. Fuck cloudstor.es

So I've been having an issue lately with my VGA box where while being hooked up to my TV generates some weird faint horizontal lines. It gets worse if I put an audio jack in it.

I'm thinking on probably just getting a straight up VGA cable and cut the middle-man.

The box is a retrobit by the way.

Dreamcast isn't /vr/.
It's Sixth Gen, and Sixth Gen isn't Retro.

>>2465229
Every thread until PS2 gets in.

Do not respond to the two posts above.

Some new upload.

Thanks so much buddy, i was looking for that rdc release of fire pro everywhere

I know reviveDC never did a LOL release, but do you have a decent version for lack of love ?

oh and ig2, get as many good dreamcast rdc releases on here as you can, or better yet if you have them all, maybe start a torrent sometime, that would also kick arse.

You're welcome. I'll get as many of them up here then while I can. I rather these get out and backed up out there.

Can you upload ShenmueII_FullSpeech (1,87 GB) and L.O.L (best possible version) ?

So much wasted potential.

Any post-2001 games you think would've been on the DC if it had lasted longer?

I've got a hunch that the Sonic Mega Collection would've been a DC game.

>>2470335
Super Monkey Ball would be right at home on the DC

i agree, such a amazing little console, deserved sooo much more!

>>2470334
what is Yu Suzuki doing near that fork lifter? you can't OutRun the cops on that.

>>2470335
Dreamcast just needed Sega to have more faith in it. More arcade ports would have been perfect.

>>2470623
>Dreamcast just needed Sega to have more faith in it. More arcade ports would have been perfect.
Dreamcast had a metric fuckton of arcade ports. Sega has plenty of faith, it was consumers who didn't. They were practically giving them away at $99 and people still wouldn't bite.

>>2470860
you're right. just took a look at my 100 disk spindle and I remember it being smaller. at least most games have been ported to the modern generation of platforms like PS3 and PC.

>tfw used to upload DC scene releases to TheIsoZone a few years ago and lurked a lot of the DC community
Shit man, I would just love reading those NFO files and seeing what they did to the game for CD-R's
I had an obsession with the Half-Life port, I would even download those mods that people would sloppily port to DC. Some of the models (like the suit) got an update while it didn't for the HD pack on PC, I really prefer some of them.
>>2461412
DCRes was great for awhile, but ReviveDC took him over in terms of general quality. In general, if there isn't a ReviveDC, try to find a DCRes

Good man

Hello
I never owned a Dreamcast or a SEGA console before
I just ordered a sports edition with 3 games for $50
I heard pirating is really easy & that there's a lot of arcadey action titles & shooters
I'm really excited to try it out!

D2 rip? Anyone?

>>2472345
Lurk more

>>2472546
I hadn't seen a photashop THIS bad in a while.

I want to play more Dreamcast stuff, as I've been ignoring the console for too long. Are there any recommendation charts?
I have played Dynamite Cop and Ikaruga, but that's it. I also played Shenmue 1, but got stuck in the beginning part where you are in the town asking about that black car.

>>2472345

Cool.

Pirating is super easy (if you have a CD Burner and $5 for a 50 pack of CDRs you are set).

How many VMUs did you get? They only store 200 blocks, which can run out quick. Some games use 4 blocks, some games use 80 blocks, so having more always helps.

>>2472585
>Shenmue 1, but got stuck in the beginning part where you are in the town asking about that black car.

got stuck?
talk about needing a baby sitter, you fucking hand holder.
use a guide, but man you just gave up you faggot.
all you have to do is talk to people.
literally, just talk to people.

Currently uploading DoA2 and THPS2 since I have them and they don't seem to be up yet.
Looks like I also have ChuChu Rocket, though not on the list you guys have.

I have another group of things from the days of UG in .arc but can't for the life of me remember which group used it or the tool's name (about to go search).
Any ideas?

>>2472609
>How many VMUs did you get?
It apparently comes with only one
Looks like I'll order one on Amazon/Ebay. It seems cheap to get a new VMU, $10 aint too bad
The blue VMU looks pretty fucking sick

>>2472870
They're cheap as heck if you can go around to used game stores and such.. No more than 5 bucks a pop.

>>2470334
I must be the only one who liked the forklift working in Shenmue. The race at the start of each day should have been optional though.

>>2472883
Don't forget replacing the battery, because you'll have to. Never found a VMU that wasn't dead.

yeah i just recently replaced the batterys in mine, i have only just recently got into dreamcast and i thought the vmu`s lil displays were so unique and cool :)

This might come in handy for you folks, i found a release list, it tells you what game and what groups did it, and what media it requires etc.

In 2 threads we got back most of the better releases from RDC out there. I'm just a bit pissed off at the author for taking away everything just because he wasn't happy with the stuff.

>>2474814
He's sort of hinted that he's just planning on rereleasing it all or something. Maybe they found better compression or conversion or selfbooting... whatever, I dunno.

He never took anything down to be honest. He just got busy and stopped doing it. I know the guy so take this as first hand info. Also anything you find that was released by DCCM (Dreamcast Clean Merge Project)/Milf, Atreyu187, iNDEPENDENT and NRG are all top notch releases because they all worked together and shared info. SO be tween them you will find almost all of the DC library released.

>>2472546
...your point is?

>>2476089
Thanks for the info, i heard dccm were great, and i knew atreyu was part of it, didnt know about the other two though, now if only we could upload some dccms to the list, they are just as hard to find.

>>2476491
which games are you talking about?

>>2476518
Shikigami no Shiro 2, Zero Gunner 2 and Triggerheart, specifically.

Anybody in here use VGA cables on their Dreamcast? Was thinking of getting some but the only ones are chinese knock offs, and offical Sega ones are obviously either impossible to find or expensive as fuck.

>>2477498

I use a chinese knock off one and it's OK. Definitely prefer it to the only other option I have, the RF switch.

>>2477504
Ok, might pick up one then. Thanks.

>>2466179
Is red dog the only DC game with 5.1 audio?

>>2474612
You best bet is ordering the PS360+ PCB along with the cables for PS1/PS2 and Dreamcast. Going to do this myself once I order a pair of Qanba Q1 sticks. Also, it's weird how composite on Plasmas look really great; had to play King of Fighters 99 Evolution like this since it doesn't support VGA.

>>2476089
Atreyu187 is an awesome man. Wouldn't have been able to play King of Fighters 2002 on Dreamcast without his upload.

>>2477784
what? DC only have stereo output

>>2477498

Works like a god damn charms.

I would get a vga cable if digital monitors in general didnt do a crap job of upscale, ive yet to find a monitor on my pc that actually looks good at 640 x 480. so i just use rgb scart into a tube television, looks good enough to me.

I would get a vga cable if flatpanel digital monitors in general didnt do a crap job of upscale, ive yet to find a monitor on my pc that actually looks good at 640 x 480. so i just use rgb scart into a tube television, looks good enough to me.

Seems to me the only common sense way of displaying that resolution with minimal input lag would be with a old tube vga pc monitor from that era, now that would look nice :)

I have it, of the 20+ games i uploaded this is the one i still didn't upload, mega it's really slow in upload.

>>2478691
>>2478720
Found it (I think)?
http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue-2-full-english-speech-mod/
Link works, Downloading but it's slow, Would prefer Mega and not sure if it's the same rip

http://theisozone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=55710

finally isozone realised the dreamcast section was totaly dead!.

>>2478757
Huge parts of isozone are dead. When something does work, it's slow as fuck. I don't even bother with them.

>>2478717
what do i do with an .arc file? i've only ever burned .cdis...

wow nice shooter post btw :)

is full speech shenmue 2 worth it?

i found this for the arc files, hopefully its okay.
http://freearc.org/Download.aspx

>>2478803
I managed to get them open but what group was that?
They're all just CDI files...

Anyway to play PSO dreamcast nowadays?
Is there an offline version?

>>2478993
You can play offline AFAIK. In the states, if you have a landline, you can get 10 hours of free dialup through some provider and use some stuff to play on private servers...

>>2478792
English voicemod audio quality is trash, and unless you have a miraculously working 99 disc the full version is extinct.

The fullspeech one is apparently the best shenmue 2 version around. I hope it gets uploaded soon!

Do .iso files work the same as .cdi files? If not where can I get .cdi images to burn

>Shenmue I UNDUB by Sm1th(shenmuedojo)&RDC
>Shenmue I w/ CDDA & Passport Multi-4

What's the difference? I've never played Shenmue, I want to make sure I'm getting the best version. Cheesy English voice acting please.

>>2479253
An Undub is a game with the english audio hacked out and the original japanese hacked in. Hence, undub.

Go with the CDDA, it'll have better quality audio... not that the original voice samples for Shenmue are that high fidelity anyways. That cheesy voice acting is great, though. Started playing it emulated today (My dreamcast is broken atm, sadly).

>>2479260
Thank you for your response.
What does "CDDA & Passport Multi-4" mean, though?

>>2479262
CDDA = CD Digital Audio. Nice and high quality. Multi-4 would be the number of discs (4), and Passport is the extra disc included with shenmue. The game itself is just 3 discs.

>>2479267
Thank you.

Anybody but me check the prices on Shenmue 1 and 2 lately? They've gone completely batshit crazy.

>>2479220
Anyone?

>>2479283
Ebay scalpers trying to take advantage. The games aren't that rare, the price'll settle once the hype dies down. Though it'll probably be a bit higher than it used to be, by about 10 bucks or so.

>>2478772
Sorry forgot to mention to get freearc for them. Also those games are DCCM a combination of work from rippers atreyu187 and MiLf

>>2478691

shenmue

http://pastebin.com/BaSFb0Us

>>2479956
Is that >>2464661 this release? And also the american one, wondering if it's the CDDA one or the newer NoBSone since they're not named.

Gonna try them out anyways, thank you!

>>2479489
Ah, okay. Those guys do good work.

Any worthwhile hacks/homebrews that aren't shmups?

>>2480179

I find VMUtool to be a useful utility. Compressing saves is very important for me.

>>2480191

I use it from this disc.
http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/tdc-final-v2-aka-capcom-3-in-1-update-2/

>>2480179
Your best bet is playing Beats of Rage mods on Dreamcast for anything worthwhile as far as homebrews go. 2D House of Terror is a nice party game. If you really want to play something different, Sam and Max Hit the Road is funny and got a Dreamcast port.

>>2479303
Anyone at all?

>>2480378
Iso's by extension (.iso) are not the same as the dreamcast .cdi due to multiple tracks.

Where can I get .cdi files then? I'm having a hard time.

>>2480487
has anyone here actually gotten to burn this one? My banana discs make this horrible clicking noise when I put them on my dreamcast.

have not tried yet, but if the discs are made out of banana, theres your problem, sorry too many food capachas, driving me insane :))

>>2480512
all the links I've found are dead, or far and few between, anyone have a huge list of links I can download .cdi images from?

>>2480578
...Have you been reading this thread?

>>2480525
It works just fine on my end.

>>2480593
Really? Are you using IMGburn by any chance? All I hear about the 99discs are negative things, I think someone on the other dreamcast thread mentioned he had problems too.

I guess it's a crappy batch then.

>>2480582
Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread, I only read small tidbits here and there.
There's some great games in here, I'm just an asshat, sorry.

i have some 99mins on order, and i got a drive thats pretty decent, i`ll let you know my mileage when they are received guys.

I've had no problems with bannana 99min discs. i use a Asus BW 12B1ST drive with no problems.

anyone have any suggestions on where to buy those bananna 99min discs?

>>2480639
I think what's strange about mine is that it makes a clicking noise, then it makes the usual whirring sound as if it's trying to read it but won't boot.

I'm gonna try and use a boot disc and see if that helps me.

Shenmue II Full English Speech 80min CD-R

https://mega.nz/#!axklyRAY!dYY115HS22a3Fb6Yf_ArZ3H95sx1WmXlnxoaYkgcRow

Released : April, 2010
Platform : Sega Dreamcast
Region : PAL
Filename : SMITH_SHEN2_ENG.7zip
CD(s) : 4 (80min)
Format : Padus DiscJuggler v4 (CDI)

>>2480696
Thanks, Boss

>>2480689
Invest in a 2$ bottle of 90% alcohol and some q-tips. Clean your lens. A lot of times that alleviates a lot of issues. And more than likely your 14year old system might need a laser adjustment. (youtube it)

>>2460265
I remember there was a dreamcast torrent of untouched Dreamcast rips intended to be played on PC, they were uncompressed/unmodified so you counldn't play/burn on a Dreamcast. Is that the torrent??

>>2480704
I really don't think it's the lense based on the fact that it can play all the other discs just fine, and also because I've read a lot of threads on isozone that talk about the unreliability of the banana discs. It seems to me that I got a bad batch.

Though it seems like there are two other brands so they might be worth trying out.

i really wish this link worked :(, looks better than the rdc release we have here.

http://theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/vampire-chronicle-for-matching-service-untouched-v2-fixed---yzb/

he rocks yeah :)

>>2479972
>>2479956
I downloaded and tried it but I don't think it's the same as >>2464661

Hopefully that anon will be able to upload it! Seriously, that server change thing really made the best releases of stuff inaccessible to people. I hope they keep that in mind and maybe allow for MEGA links in the future.

>>2480709
You burned the disks at the slowest possible speed, right?

can someone upload SEGAGAGA please?

What's the point of using revivedc?
Outside of a few games like shenmue, Version doesn't matter, Just grab em from emuparadise

Cos it's PAL, perhaps?

well i can do pal and ntsc fine, and im in a pal region so its definetly the iso in this case

deleted it from the chart, *throws cd in bin*

is there anyway to stop shenmue from freezing up when you start up a game in the arcade?

I want to play some Space harrier

>>2482637
Buy it.

>>2482638

yah...no

I want to play it without breaking the bank

>>2482645
Besides, if you buy it now. you're just giving money to second hand retailers and not the creators

>>2482649
Nobody implied otherwise.

If anyone has a method of burning a flawless-running Shenmue, I'd really love to hear it.

wish there was a 99min release of shenmue, that could help, there is one for shenmue 2 though,

>>2482637

which release what this issue on.

>>2482678

what do you mean? of nulldc?

>>2482661
It could just be a bad burn. What software are you using? I'm currently using Alcohol 120 and Imgburn and both give me good results. I used the shenmue CDDA release and so far I've had no problems, heck I played Hang-On (which looks fucking great on VGA) and had no stutters or anything like that.

What stick do you guys use? When I play fightan games, I use the D-Pad and the Dreamcast's Dpad is really shit and I drop inputs 90% of the time.
What the fuck do I do, I wanna play these fightan games

>>2483048
I don't hear that many good things from the sega one, but you can always use a ps2 converter and get a better stick.

I want to get the saturn converter so I can use the saturn twinstick and pad for fighting games.

Sweet! I wish there was some kinda mod so you could play the game with the stick instead of the fucking d-pad. At least Heavy Metal got that right.

I will keep you posted, going to burn some more, in the meantime, if ig2 or any of you have any 99min rips, i would be greatfull if you upped them.

I have about 44 DCCM releases that I'll upload and share all at once soon. I'm just uploading all the RDC stuff I have first.

>>2483653
I think I do let me check.

The dreamcast fightstick is the best of it's kind from that time. It's all Sanwa parts, so it's a candy cab equivalent. If you're in the states, I see them go for around $74 on the bay - they were branded as Agetec over here, but they're great.

>>2483698
They used to be cheaper. I regret not picking one up a while back... ah well. I got a Namco PS1 stick the other day for 20 bucks, so that's not bad.

I was curious about that one. I might get this brand since it looks like it actually works and is slightly less expensive than the DX ones.

>>2483649
thats cool and thanks alot ig2 :))), i was hoping you would do more 99 min posts, super kickarse!!

Is there a working CDI of the browser? I need it for Fire Pro Wrestling D.
Found one of the 2.0 browser that was labeled as GDI but was actually CDI and it didn't work.

>>2483987
yeah give it a shot, i think its more to do with the burner half the time, as to wether it is compatible or not etc. you can buy them in 5`s or singles on ebay if you just feel like testing before getting 25 too.

im just adding ig2`s amazing uploads to the spreadsheet, hold tight folks.

done and done, time to plug my new 2tb hdd into my new internal hdd caddy, aka my backup drive, im making sure none of your guys work is lost.

i went ahead and mirrored some more of those uploads. Loving this thread doods

>>2485079
Thanks,nigga

With the recent announcement of Shenmue 3, I decided to break out my old DC, bought a vga box, and picked up an old 22" crt monitor off of craigslist to replay the first two. I figured now is a good time to add to my collection. This is what I have so far:

Shenmue 1
Shenmue 2
PSO
Quake 3 Arena
Toy Commander
SEGA Bass Fishing
SEGA Bass Fishing 2
Sega Marine Fishing
Evolution 1
Evolution 2
Grandia 2
Skies of Arcadia
Timestalkers

What are some good games to get? I want to get JoJo's and Project justice, but too expensive

>>2459402
Does anyone know if the dreamcast torrent KingOfCosmos uploaded on UG was based on ReviveDC or where they completely new rips?

>>2459402
I come back after 2 weeks to see that my spreadsheet has seen a lot of love. A Big thanks to everyone contributing.

I'll begin to back up the games and list locally and across my personal mega / other cloud folders as I get the time to do it.

>>2460224
>>2460265
SMiTH's undub was pretty out of sync. It's more like he released a working concept or alpha than anything else. If we can keep it around for history/learning purposes, that might be best.

>>2460246
This spreadsheet was originally intended for only RDC packs, as they did a bang up job. Other self-boot collections might be messy on the laser especially, so I'm very wary of wanting them in it.
Please feel free to make another sheet for non-RDC releases, which we can sort alphabetically and leave comments on.

>>2460271
No-BS might warrant its own sheet as well. If I'm not mistaken, these are essentially 100% rips with nothing downsampled or removed.

>>2465194
Off the top of my head, I'd first go troubleshoot the VGA cable and then the connector on the box. Test them independently to determine which is at fault.
If it gets worse when you have 3.5mm, I'd say there's a problem with shielding inside the retrobit.. does anything look loose?

>>2471229

DX, but rumour has it that they're shit now due to age, and you'll have a hell of a time burning them. When I get mine in a few weeks I'll let you know what's up, first hand.

>>2485152
They were the Dumpcast aka Toseciso releases, which are the best DC rips available.

Poll: Should we segregate releases into separate sheets, per group?

http://strawpoll.me/4693490

Calling a soft end date for the 30th of June.

>>2485189
Yes! I've been searching online to find these, but I couldn't remember the names. I vaguely remember a rather huge torrent released that had uncompressed(?) images of the games that could only be emulated on PC.

Still can't seem to find a torrent link for those though.

sort out the releases how you want, im not really fussed, so long as nothings lost.

>>2485182
Thanks and you're welcome :)

>>2485217
The project moved its files and name over to TRURIP now.

Can we get some NoBS-DC releases here? I don't have any. If you guys can help out that would be great.

I hope nobody minds but I went ahead and arranged the spreadsheet in a way that wont confuse anybody.

is kof 2k-2k2 from rdc there?

>>2485189
These aren't self-boot though, right?

>>2485685
>>2485217
They are raw GDI dumps.

>>2485182
OP here. Aw man, first of all thank you so much for starting that spreadsheet up the previous thread and thanks everyone for helping out! I was so worried when I found out that RDC had gone kaput, specially because I wanted to play their army men release.

And yeah sorry about the other release types, I really wasn't thorough enough about that, but I hope it can be sorted out.

>No-BS might warrant its own sheet as well. If I'm not mistaken, these are essentially 100% rips with nothing downsampled or removed.

Yeah! I'm really interested in getting the Shenmue release particularly since it seems nothing was downsampled in that one. I've sent the guy a lot of PM's asking him for that and his latest NFO file but no reply so far.

>Off the top of my head, I'd first go troubleshoot the VGA cable and then the connector on the box. Test them independently to determine which is at fault.

The VGA cable itself works fine, no bent pins or anything like that. But I think it's the box because last time I put an S-video cable it was very finnicky

And good luck with the DX! I hear their assembly number is the same so all of their batches suck ass.

>>2485737
Ah well. Can you even get burnable GD-discs?

>>2485747
Yes, but it is easier to run them from a sd card.

yeah i too would like to see some No-BS releases, so many good releases sooo not fair, i want them all hehe :)

>>2485192

When you say separate sheets, do you mean the tabs at the bottom of the page? Or do you mean creating a completely different document?

>>2485853
Tabs at the bottom of the page. A spreadsheet is a member of a workbook (collection of spreadsheets).

I've posted them up to the spreadsheet. Please take a look and see that everything looks right.. few issues around naming and region codes.

Poll here:

Thinking we can just move to segregate release groups into their own separate sheets now (instead of closing the poll in a week).

Cast any objections here or in the poll before tomorrow night, EDT.

>>2485757
>>2485737
I'm looking for these so I can run them off an SD card but they are hard to find. Any anon have the collection they are willing to share/upload???

That would be great!

>>2486264
They are torrented at both pleasuredome and retrowithin.

Should we maybe separate out the emulated Neo Geo games into their own section? It's a bit confusing seeing them among the Dreamcast games. The same goes for utilities (browsers) and demos and stuff too.

A couple of ReviveDC releases:

Cosmic Smash: https://mega.nz/#!CVxhxR6C!mvjVMSBnY0Tvwj3TUjNukpk1Gi492N0ikulv0daUh0Y

Ferrari F355 Challenge: https://mega.nz/#!acBDyboa!LNLVmbSaktkDv8Qf9gY7Zd1YhtCGC1WQg2jZJoUuV1E

And here's a couple quality cracks from other groups:

Re-Volt (No Bullshit): https://mega.nz/#!acBDyboa!LNLVmbSaktkDv8Qf9gY7Zd1YhtCGC1WQg2jZJoUuV1E

Zero Gunner 2 (atreyu187): https://mega.nz/#!SJYwyRDQ!7VqXTRMmogHKGkVTIP6bSGjRn7fjlpzxP9tQJxXYV3A

I've already added them to the spreadsheet.

>>2486358
If we arrange then by alphabet now, that'll lead to a clusterfuck (the way I'm imagining what you're implying).
Instead, emulated releases could be noted in the notes section, and other release groups could sit in separate sheets (see the poll).

>>2486641
Meant to say that if we chose to split releases for their source (emukated/otherwise) it would cause a problem as compared to simply arranging alphabetically..

>>2486113

7-zip won't open Bangai-O.

>>2486646

I don't see why. If anything deserves to be on a different sheet, it's stuff like emulated games. You could still have a column for release group, etc. You could even have other emulators that ReviveDC work with.

>>2486537

Thanks, the link on Re-Volt is wrong though, looks like you acidently copied the same url as ferrari f355 challenge

Hmm, are you sure? They point to the right file for me.

>>2486698

links to ferrari, but the spreadsheet is correct anyway, so dont worry.

I like the work you guys did on the spreadsheet, this is really coming together nicely, good one chaps!.

>>2486836
Do you have a browser rip?
I need it for Fire Pro D

99min discs are pretty expensive.

>>2487562

Not worth it, in my opinion. People have done some amazing 80min releases.

Please anyone, I want these cdi files :(

http://theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue-ii-full-speech-version-80min-disc/

How are you guys downloading stuff from Mega? I;ve never used it before and it just sits at 100% indefinitely and does nothing.

>>2488946

Usually when the Mega upload reaches 100%, it starts an standard download which completes in just a few seconds.

>>2487562
roughly double the price per disc, if you buy media range.

Another idea would be to do columns per group and put mirrors and the like in the same cell. That would keep alphabetical organization...

Though if you're looking for a specific game you can just search for it.

All the rest of the DCCM project I have. Original files just renamed.

Never seen this one! Is there an .nfo for it? The only ones I know about are the echelon and DCres ones and both have downsampled and monoized audio.

>>2489526
Well a lot of things don't want to download and some do. The progress bar is really slow as well. Is this on my end?

>>2491304
How are you downloading them? What browser? I'm using Chrome and have zero issues.

Poll results say there's a split on the organization vote, so I'll just leave it alone but make it easy for a script to reformat things.. will post some VBA or something for excel once I've got it working on my end and to my own satisfaction.

>>2490825
How would you deal with multiple mirrors per group? Simply stacking them in the same cell?
Messy from a parsing standpoint if that's the case..

Anyone got a decent Super Runabout release? The best one I could find was a DCRes one where you had to inject the music into it though the script doesn't work for some reason.

Bump

>>2494786
Less talk, more uploading.

>>2494790
I'll take that as a yes, I'm at work for a few more hours, I'll see what I can do when I get home

Why is the Shenmue translation so shit? It's super literal in places, I started with the undub to avoid the shitty english voice acting, but found the text just as bad. In Japanese, you can repeat the same shit over and over without it sounding weird, but in English the style of asking everyone about black suits just stands out like a sore thumb.

I'm legit just thinking of throwing the game on the backburner for another year until I get a better grasp of nip vocab.

So I know some of you guys say that there are no better releases than ReviveDC, but have any of you heard of DCRes?

It was a pet project from some brazillian guy on Snesorama.us when it was still pretty big, and he really seemed to know what he was doing. He'd use dummy files, high quality downsampling, stuff like that. I think he didn't quite get the weird no-audio games like Virtua Cop 2 to work, but just about everything else was golden with him. He even put out some split disc releases of stuff that he really liked that either didn't have any downsampling or used other versions of games for source material (His Space Channel 5 split used the PS2 movies, for example).

I have the 80 or so GB torrent of his shit if anyone's interested. Post a 10 minute mail address and I'll ship over a link to the torrent. I haven't seeded it in awhile, but I can reseed if anyone's interested. IIRC, ReviveDC came after DCRes.

>>2494831
post please
outerheaven@protonmail.ch

>>2494889
Shit, I just thought about it, and I can just post the link to the page the magnet link is on.

http://snesorama.us/board/showthread.php?175292-DCRES-Complete-Pack-By-TuxTheWise-(Torrent)

link is toward the bottom. It's a torrent.
IDK how many seeders there are, but I'm seeding 150kb/s right now.

The DCRes releases are good. A few seeds on the torrent, I shall help.

Man, why is DC emulation so shit?

Don't get me wrong, many of may games work just fine and I appreciate all the time and effort that the developers put into their emulators, but it has been so long now and there still are huge issues with a lot of titles.

Look at the Dolphin emulator community. Very coordinated with a huge amount of developers making huge contributions to the emulator, and improving game compatibility every single day.

I just wish the DC scene was more like that.

>>2494907
>>2494889
Once this stuff is downloaded, we can probably make a separate DCRes category on the spreadsheet to list that content.

>>2494918

I just put all of the DCRes releases onto the spreadsheet.

Download links aren't up yet, save for the ones that people had already put in before. The magnet link to the full torrent is included as a comment on the DCRes header.

If the ReviveDC list on there is current, then the DCRes collection is like 3x its size.

>>2494912
As a DC owner, some days I feel like Dreamcast is for hipsters and other days I feel like it really was an under appreciated device.

Emulation is what it is because most games on it are either emulated better on another console or has been ported for modern platforms.

>>2494831
ReviveDC, atreyu187 & DCCM and all related did all of those rips better. Not all of the DCRes stuff was from high quality source. All those other guys ripped straight from gdi's and used more up to date tools to optimize their releases.

No Hydro Thunder?

>>2464661
Will I be able to transfer my end save from a retail NTSC-U Shenmue disc to this?

>>2495836
You need to change it to PAL format because there's no US release of Shenmue. You have to use a HEX editor with something like the Dream Explorer.

Here: http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmutool/release/help/hexedit_shen2.php

It's actually not that hard to do.

>>2480696
Is this English only?

And how's the quality? I've read bad shit about some of the 80 min discs before.

>>2495879
There's a video out there that shows it. The sound compression is pretty terrible, but bearable enough if you spend a while playing it. Some Shenmue II releases have decent voice quality at the cost of having the random people not having sound at all.

It's a bit of a trade-off, really. And as for the 99 discs, it depends on the brand you're looking for, but it's somewhat unreliable.

>>2495932
What brand of 99min is decent?

I read earlier in the thread that Banana was apparently shit, but what works OK?

>>2495945
Apparently >>2483617 has been working from him so far, and also you can get a set with 25 or 10 discs at a cheaper price than the DX ones, which only sell them in huge batches at about 50 bucks.

I also found a thread on isozone where somebody found a working brand called "Numbers" but it's on a chinese store: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.202.RtKSg4&id=21054671801&ns=1&abbucket=7#

Other than that I haven't found anything else that looks like it'd work.

I managed to snag a copy of the 99min PAL Shenmue II with Japanese audio. I'm not sure what group released it, but it's the one uploaded by Atreyu187 here

http://theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue-ii-pal-full-99min-cdr/

https://mega.nz/#!jglR1A6T!rO0UscrUP1LRH3lW8WRjIXk--2RTNugVe4L6cAdj4Hk

I also have copies of both the 80min and 99min versions of the Kogami Shenmue undub, if any anons are interested.

>>2495702
pls

>>2496316
I'm Interested in this version

http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/shenmue-ii-full-speech-version-80min-disc/

>>2496781
Hydro Thunder has a DCRes release.

Check the spreadsheet above, in the comment on the DCRes header there's a magnet link to a full torrent of all of the DCRes releases.

You can choose that specific download from there.

>>2497441
Shit, nevermind, there's no HT DCRes release. My bad.

My DC collection (no ebay all local and cost me nothing after modding and selling the consoles they were bundled with)with like half of my ps1 games, still missing the berserk game, tech romancer, some of the schmups, bangaio and so others I want

>>2497475
You got a lot of duplicates, but still, I respect that pile.

Also:

> Hydro Thunder

>>2495702
>>2496781
>>2497445

You should probably upload it.

>>2497492
I don't have a release of it, I have the original disc.

I thought that there was a DCRes release of it, but it's not on the release list.

>>2497492
http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/hydro-thunder-cdda-depr0grammer/
There's a 80 minute CD rip.

http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/dreamcast/dreamcast-isos/hydro-thunder-99min-cdr-full-cdda-xiaopang/

99-min

>>2497492
What duplicates?

Traded all my doubles

Quick question, didn't want to start my own thread.

What's the point of overclocking and VGA modding a Dreamcast? Genuinely curious.

>>2497614
Never heard of OCing, but it'll theoretically increase framerate and responsiveness. It depends on what you're overclocking, though, as if a game is bottlenecked by the graphics hardware, you won't see an improvement by OCing tha CPU.

As for VGA modding, it'd allow you to use VGA output without the external box attachment.

Has anyone put any thought into turning the spreadsheet into a google site?

>>2497076
I only have discs 1, 3 & 4 of the 80min version. I'm somehow missing disc2.part2.rar.

However, I do have the Perfect Series rips which get up to around 780mb per disc. You might be able to fit it onto an 80min disc with overburn but don't quote me on that.

https://mega.nz/#!7g0h1Bhb!I_uy3Jg1slAaTfOjnWN-mTAbCWr-l50gs5CZuENtpWE

>>2497846
does your link have english speech?

>>2497508
Xiaopang release imo is the better of the 2. Xiapang is a guy who knows what hes doing.

So is there an existing version of PAL Shenmue 2 with JP dub anywhere?

>>2498239

Earlier in the thread, look a bit up.

also assume I'm chronically retarded, how do I play these games? Is it really just as simple as burning it to a CD?

>>2498253
Get CDI file and CD-R. Use Imgburn or Alcohol 120, burn at a slow speed if you can (mileage may vary).

Put on dreamcast and enjoy.

>>2497856
No. It's Japanese audio. The English audio version is already in the spreadsheet under 'Other Releases'

>>2498286
That release is missing full speech though.

>>2497076
Someone needs to upload this version.

>>2498253
At the top of the spreadsheet, there's a link for IMGBurn with cdi files. Download that, install it by following the directions and then burn the .cdi files onto a blank CD-R using IMGBurn. The 80min releases are for standard 700mb CD-Rs. The 99min releases are for special, extra-capacity 900mb CD-Rs that are hard to find usually have to be special-ordered.

>>2498239

Doesn't Shenmue 2 just let you do that normally anyway? Like, that was always an option on retail PAL Shenmue 2 discs.

>>2498295
Not according to the NFO: http://www.demonoid.pw/files/details/750581/?show_files=&page=1

I think you're thinking of the shitty ECHELON release. This rip was made in response to it.

>>2498306
Quoted from the NFO: This release includes multilanguage
files for all discs, all disc change graphics, and a proportion of the
free quest speech depending on each disc

>>2498304
It's not even an option, it's the -only- way to play Shenmue II on the Dreamcast without [poorly compressed] hacks. An English dub was not made until the game got ported to the Xbox in the US.

>>2498316

That's good to know, honestly. English dub's a bit crap and I want to play the games with the japanese dub. Which requires me to download the undub of Shenmue 1 and go buy Shenmue 2.

and then I look at the prices of Shenmue 2 and I guess I'm downloading that one too lol fuck that why are they so expensive?

>>2498324
There has been quite a bit of discussion about that recently. Basically price rose sky-high after the announcement of 3. Resellers, man.

>>2498326
>Resellers, man.

Should've known, really but man that's a fucking drag.

>>2498340

Is Shenmue playable from an SD card using Dreamshell yet? That's $20 plus the cost of an SD card if they're 100% compatible.

Honestly if you're looking for physical copies of Shenmue I and II on the DC it might be better just to put that money toward a GDEMU instead, this way you could play every single DC game in a lossless fashion. You'd get to enjoy 100% perfect versions of every single Dreamcast game as well as fuck over reseller scum at the same time, so it would be a win/win if you were comfortable spending the $130.

>>2498403

> yfw you found out they had to remove some of the geometry and transparency effects when they ported Shenmue 2 from the Dreamcast to the Xbox

>>2492020
Why not mock some sort of small site up using redis as a database and Python with FLASK or Javascript for the frontend?

I was going to make a share database a long time ago, and it's really not too bad. Redis is dead simple and using it with Python is too.

Make a list of games by the release group, make a list of games overall, make a list of release groups, and just load them into lists in Python and manipulate it that way.

If there's an interest, I have a server I can host it on for the time being if someone is up to the task.

>>2498420
>Shenmue 2 Xbox

I thought it was the opposite?

My understanding was that the Xbox edition technically had greater graphical fidelity.

>>2498471
Nope. Dreamcast version has better water textures and effects than Xbox, among losing features like the save transfer.

All because someone wanted a job at microsoft, too...

>>2498481
Huh, TIL.

I mean, I was going to choose the DC release anyway, just for the save transfer, but that's cool too.

>>2498481
This isn't entirely true. The Dreamcast version suffers from pretty poor draw distance with character models fading in and out even at close range and the framerate's a bit more stable on the Xbox, too. Honestly, it's a fair tradeoff either way.

>>2498496
Yeah. Personally, while I respect the xbox version on the level that we at least got it on the US, I don't necessarily like the implications of its development.

>>2498306
Burned Echelon's Metropolis Street Racer. It read once and never again. Wish I knew Echelon's images were shit.

>>2498579
IIRC, MSR had some really weird copy protection that prevented it from playing right when burned, and for awhile Echelon was the only place to have a working rip.

My Rez rip is from them, I have to say I really hate the intro screen, since it won't display on my VGA box.

>>2498579

I have never been able to burn a rip of MSR that didn't have music that skipped so bad it was unlistenable.

>>2498496

http://shenmuedojo.net/new/extras/s2xboxvsdreamcast.html

The level of hyperautism required to notice that differences on textures on signs in out of the way locations is amazing, but I am glad people like that exist in this world.

Hey, comradesnarky here from ReviveDC. Attached picture should do enough to prove that, hopefully. I’m not quite sure how else I could prove it’s actually me.

Anyways, I wanted to explain why exactly the ReviveDC files were removed from TIZ and what my feelings were on the quality of them. I never wanted to make it seem like I was pulling a Xiaopang and taking my toys and playing by myself.

First, we learned a lot from when we started ReviveDC to when we finished. Early rips are not very good. There’s a lot of inconsistencies, and I think that gloating got us a better reputation than we deserved. I know that some files by other members had backwards sort orders and other problems. In the start I was the one who knew the least about selfbooting a commercial game, and I didn’t really have a full grasp on everything that should be in place for quality control.

I see that some people picked up on NoBS-DC…well, those were meant to be the replacements for ReviveDC. I’ve been making those, and I haven’t stopped making them in the time that TIZ’s file hosting has been down either. I just haven’t uploaded them anywhere yet. So there’s quite a few of those waiting to come out. I was wanting to just sort of do NoBS-DC quietly and not have my name attached to it. I think ego was a problem in RDC, and I just wanted it to be neutral. Cut and dry “here’s the game, this was ripped, have fun” type stuff.

A lot of the ReviveDC links went down with TIZ’s servers that went offline. Frankly, I’ll be shocked if many of those files are recovered. I decided to just remove them and work on NoBS-DC stuff in the meantime. I realize that a lot of people like the art for ReviveDC stuff, but the negative side effect is that there have been a lot of people selling reproduction games for truly ridiculous prices. I was planning on creating a separate art archive for what was done with RDC to make up for that.

(continued)

>>2498838

The next matter is what the status of the RDC stuff and NoBS-DC is.

Well, I’m sure you guys have seen Anthony817 floating around on every Dreamcast site talking about how he’s such a great supporter of the Dreamcast and the “scene” while doing literally nothing. I posted a message on Shenmue Dojo to SMiTH as I wanted to discuss the Shenmue Undub and getting a new version out. There’s some hiccups with the RDC release that can be easily fixed, and I wanted to ask if he would release it under his name. In that post, I mentioned that I had removed the RDC images from TIZ.

Long story short, a few months prior we (the TIZ mods) banned Anthony817 because of how he was treating users and behaving. He didn’t have any idea about NoBS-DC, and saw this as an opportunity to get at me. He messaged the TIZ admin about this, and the admin demodded me and made a forum post talking about how I had nuked the whole Dreamcast section and was a piece of shit more or less. Obviously, I hadn’t nuked the whole DC section; only the ReviveDC stuff. The logs showed ALL of my deletes over the time of keeping the section cleaned up from duplicates as much as I could. To the admin, it looked like I nuked about 350 files in one go. Of course there were nowhere near that many ReviveDC releases.

Instead of discussing the situation with the mods (or even looking at the mod forum, where I had posted several months prior about replacing RDC stuff with NoBS-DC), that was it. So, modding there for a few years and I’m sure helping out the admin’s revenue stream greatly got me… nothing. I didn’t expect anything, but I didn’t expect that either. He asked that I upload the files to the new host, but I recommended that he attempt to restore the ReviveDC files as I was done with the site after that.

>>2498840
(continued again)

So, the RDC files should be back on TIZ at some point. As far as NoBS-DC and other piracy related things I’ve been working on, I’m pretty clueless as to where that’s going to go. If anyone has any recommendations for sites, I’m open to them.

I’m sorry that this all didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped in regards to just getting as clean of a transition done as possible.

>>2498841
To be honest I figured it was some sort of dumb scene drama shit. Most people here were worried that games and rips would get "lost" to time thanks to both the downtime of cloudstores at iso zone (the only decent place for dreamcast games nowadays) and the removal of ReviveDC. Cuz as long as we can get our hands on the "best" rips of these games, I doubt we care about who it comes from.

>>2498841
It's nice to finally hear someone from ReviveDC comment on the situation. Sounds kind of messed up but I guess there's nothing to do but move on.

You could upload on Emuparadise and if there's enough of them eventually to make a big pack maybe look into Pleasuredome. For now, if you're sitting on some games it would be lovely if you'd pack them up on Mega and post theme here as well. One way or the other, keep up the good job.

>>2498850
Thank you, emuparadise is the place I've been looking at. I'll try to get a start on uploading some of the NoBS-DC stuff that's been sitting around tomorrow. I've been making a PS2 HDD softmod kit as well so I haven't done any DC stuff for a week or two. There's maybe 10 or so games waiting? I know someone who had volunteered to get anything I do onto private torrent sites as well, so I may ask him to do that. I'm constantly not active enough on sites like that and end up having my account disabled.

>>2498838

Aren't you the guy who was telling people that they shouldn't back the Shenmue 3 kickstarter because rabble rabble Sony or something? That's stupid as shit.

Thank you for all of your work in the Dreamcast scene though, and thank you for stopping by and shedding some light on what happened to the RDC releases. Figures it was scene drama, but at least we know that you weren't the person behind it. I wish UG was still around, that would be the perfect place to upload the entire collection. It would have been a shame to see all of that hard work disappear, which is why everyone was freaking out.

It's good to see people here over the past few threads working together to upload what they have and put download lists together for people who want to grab RDC rips before they get reuploaded somewhere.

>>2498859
I'll look forward to both the NoBS-DC releases and the PS2 HDD kit.

Are you doing any Japanese only games?

>>2498875
It really is pretty amazing how far the chart evolved in such a short time.

>>2498875
Yeah, that was me. I just think it was really unethical how they presented that whole Kickstarter. I mean I'm happy about Shenmue III, but I think this is sort of a slippery slope situation. That's another topic though.

UG really was a great site, I loved posting RDC stuff there. We always got great feedback and the users were always really grateful.

>>2498879

Yes, there's not going to be any arbitrary "well, we can't do this because there's no high quality art assets we can use" or "well, it's not in English and it's totally unusable" aspect for NoBS-DC. I'm just going through and doing what I can. Weird Japanese only shit is not off the table.

>>2498841
I think the safest and most reliable place to put it would be the spreadsheet, as a reserve. Don't think Google, Mega, or 4chan are going anywhere anytime soon.

As for mass distribution, The Iso Zone and Emuparadise are the top two sites for Dreamcast images, but not without their own issues. I'll see what alternatives I can find.

>>2498892
I wish someone could just go through Emuparadise's romsets and clean them the fuck up. They're a god damn mess, especially disc-based systems.

OP here, it's great to see how much everyone has contributed so far. And also, really thankful for
>>2498840
>>2498838
>>2498841
Clarifying everything! And wow, I should've made the connection before between RDC and NoB-DC. I was the one that sent you a couple of PM's asking about the latest .nfo you had since those releases were really badly scattered.

As everyone here says, the important thing is that we at least managed to get a bit of a backup going on, so if you can take the time to add some of the RDC we lack and the NoBS ones (Like the Shenmue one which I hear is one of the best ones for the NSTC versions), I think would be a very good start. Again, thanks for the great work regardless of whatever happened.

And thanks everyone for the support!

>>2498889

At this point I don't think it matters how it happens, because the alternative is no Shenmue 3. If they have to be a bit unethical about it than I'm ok with it if it means two years from now I'll get to have awkward conversations with people, collect capsule toys, and hopefully punch Lan Di in the dick. Yu had been planning on a kickstarter for years anyway, so all I see it as is him jumping on a chance to crank the broadcast signal up to eleven.

The only real downside is that legitimate copies of Shenmue and Shenmue II spiked in price the instant the announcement was made, but that's pretty normal (Silent Hill prices spiked after the movie came out, but I think they normalized after a couple years, for example). Things like Dreamshell and GDEMU will only get better and cheaper over time, so if you want to actually play the games instead of just collect them I don't think the price increase will be too bad if you are patient.

Losing UG was a goddamn heartbreak. It was the videogaming Library of Alexandria. I lucked into registering when they had a couple of open slots so I could burn some games for my freshly modded (with an old Racketboy chip) Saturn at the time and it just so happened to be the start of a Golden Torrent Week. I seeded my ass off and as a result my ratio was "infinite" for a while.

I remember grabbing ancient Echelon rips with their awful intros and hearing my Dreamcast's laser sound like a chainsaw as it slowly loaded whatever game I was playing. We've come a long way since then.

>>2498921

Are you me? I did the exact fucking thing.

>>2498840
>Anthony817

Man, fuck that guy.

I remember him from around 2010-2011. He'd come on SoR and try to get people to his weird Russian site with the promise of Half Life mods. And there were HL mods, half of them didn't work at all though.

Dude was an ass, sorry you got fucked over about it.

I'm adding all of the RDC stuff in my Mega account to the spreadsheet.

Persoally, I think it is the best. There's not much you can do differently withit.

Is there a verified Shenmue II image that'll work on NTSC consoles? I don't care if it's sub or dub, so long as it's playable and I can follow what's going on.

>>2498990
Also, don't get it mixed up or anything. Anthony817 isn't Russian, he's a Texan quickly approaching wrong end of his 30s who lives in a shed.

Woah, this is heaven. Thanks a lot. I was using Kogami's release on shenmue undub, but disc 2 is full of glitches; mandatory and non-mandatory cut scenes freeze, day-to-night cut scene freeze, etc.

I was looking the webs for SMiTH undub, but RDC removed their own link. Luckily /vr/ saved it, thanks again guys <3

>>2499469
Ahh! Thank you! Can't wait to play it again. I remember back when I burned a shitty rip from Emuparadise and ended up in the motorcycle scene with no sound at all, and it was probably downsampled to shit too!

I wonder if we'd be able to eventually get a more optimal version of II, I doubt it due to the sheer size of the game.

>>2499953
/vr/ confirmed for best board!

is there a doa2 limited edition?

I figured I may as well ask here.

I've been using Composite cables on my dreamcast and finally I've decided that I should get on this VGA train for it. Most of the boxes I find are in the $45+ price range and I think that's a bit too much. I did find this Tomee cable for $20 and, while the Amazon reviews look good, 1 reviewer on Youtube said nobody under any circumstances should buy the Tomee cables and that shelling out money for a VGA box is a much better option. Is it really worth spending more for a VGA box? If so, what VGA box should I get then?

I think there's been a few people talking about the cables here and so far, it hasn't gotten any bad reception. The box is there mostly to have the option of actually using something like a CRT monitor which already has a VGA cable, and having the option of s-video output and an audio jack output. The VGA output is native for the dreamcast so it shouldn't matter that much.

I'm personally getting cable since I already have a retro bit box, which as I mentioned before has had some issues with the audio jack making interference, but that's a manufacturing issue I think, but otherwise works just fine.

I hear some brands like Toro are better if a bit pricey, and also the actual first party vga box which is fairly expensive too.

I'm going to guess that the Youtuber is AdamKoralik. Never take advice from him. The Tomee cables works great. The only thing you're really missing out on are select few games that can output to VGA, but need a switch to get them to work. Even then you can just use a Codebreakers disc to do the job.

I respect the guy's dedication to his collection, and his videos of the previous game gens are entertaining if a bit unedited.

Though every time he opens his mouth about current gen stuff I just phase it out.
