Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2, that was my shit back when dc was still poppin

>>3429165
That's an easy way, I excepted to hear some personal opinions and feelings about their favorite games.

>>3429180
Gotta check that out.

Hey man, you've already got rainbow Cotton. Good on ya'.

>>3429165
>>3429192
Gonna choose to highlight Gundam Side Story. Fuckin' awesome Mechwarrior type of game with beam sabers and Zakus, what more could you want?

>>3429192
Soul Calibur, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Ikaruga, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and Power Stones were played quite frequently with friends. I thought GigaWing 2 was kinda neat because it was a 4 player shmup. It was funny seeing huge explosions with spaghetti littering the screen and motion briefly slowing down to a crawl.

>>3429192
Cannon Spike is one of the most fun experiences I had on the system, alone or with a friend.

I just got a bunch of Taiyo Yuden JVC CD-R's and i've tried burning some games. Some games work, some just play as an audio cd straight away. Could this just be my laser?

>>3429129
What discs did you use? Success rate?

>>3429641
Mine plays the few cool-colors memorex discs i used first, but needs warmup time to read the regular memorex ones. Try letting the laser run for 20-30 minutes on a game that works and has a demo it needs to re-read when you leave it sit, then restart with a game that doesn't boot normally.

No one said it yet, so I'll say it: Shenmue and Shenmue II.

I've looked all over the internet and can't find a solution, so I'll ask here.
My copy of Rayman 2 does not recognize the VMU in my controller. I have more than enough space for the 4 block save file, and no other game has this issue with my 800 block VMU. What's wrong?

Can anyone help me remember a dreamcast game?

It was basically a third person big 3D arena for you to fight in. Some characters had swords while most had a unique gun. There were breakable things spread throughout the level that could give upgrades/health and if I recall correctly you can ditch your weapon for other characters weapons.

Heavy Metal Geomatrix?

>>3429839
Thats it! Thank you Ive been trying to remember that game for a long time

>>3429842
Glad I could help. definitely obscure. amazing soundtrack too.

>>3429674
>What discs did you use? Success rate?
Verbatim, still no problems.

Spawn was a fun dreamcast game

>>3429129
Can't remember if it was Half-Life itself or Paranoia, but I couldn't get past a certain part since it crashes a ton.

Definitely going to recommend Mars Matrix on Elite mode. It's the best fun ever. Gauntlet Legends is also super fun, but if you happen to have a PS2 just play Dark Legacy just because it has way more dungeons.

>>3429172
Maken X and Powerstone were GOAT

>>3429129

I do enjoy the novelty of PC centric games being played on a console, but I cannot find any reason to stomach Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, and Half-Life on a single analog controller. This only really works with N64 where the games were built for it, like AI and the generous auto aim.

>>3430225
Really? I actually liked turning with the triggers in Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament. You should also check out OutTrigger which has maps designed for arcades but happen to play really well for controllers rather than sticks.

>>3430228
This. OutTrigger is awesome and rotating with the triggers is really smooth and easy.

>>3429172
Soul Calibur and Gundam Side Story 0079 are my fucking jam. Powerstone and Crazy Taxi are also essentials.

>>3430225
Would the DC mouse come in handy for the more point-and-click style games? I've never owned one, don't know its limitations

Criminally underrated.
Sad it didn't become a series, or Power Stone for that matter....

>>3431158
I never owned a Dreamcast but I forgot about the mouse. Maybe they are playable after all?

>>3431158
Dreamcast had point-and-clicks?

>>3431337
>>3431158
As far as I'm aware, the only point and click for Dreamcast is a SCUMMVM homebrew port of Sam & Max. Also, most FPS games on Dreamcast support mouse and keyboard. Enjoy the novelty.

>>3431346
> SCUMMVM
Oh wow, those guys have fresh version to Dreamcast (is it truly hipster console?).

Opinions on this? I'm interested in getting this but was wondering how is the gameplay. From some videos I've seen there doesn't seem to be a lot of combat but plenty of exploration. I hear it also gets really hard at times. Graphics look amazing though which got me interested.

>>3431180
10/10 game. I love mecha anime, but I'm too impatient for SRW, so this is right up my alley.

>>3431337
>>3431346
Revive. It uses the mouse.

bump

>>3429129
Noob question time. Can I just burn any old Dreamcast ISO to a CD-R and stick it in my console or do I need to do some mod bullshit?

>>3431373
Graphics are amazing but there's really nothing to do... It feels about half finished at best. It's quite bad.

>>3434821
I burn them normally.
If your Dreamcast is earlier than Oct 2000 (most probably), you're all right.

Quick question about burning dreamcast games. Can you burn both CDI and GDI?

>>3434821
>>3434863
It depends on the revision. 0 and 1 will accept CD-R's for games, 2 won't. Check underneath your Dreamcast.

>>3434821
Turn your Dreamcast over and look at the number in the small circle. If it says 0 or 1, you can play burned games. If it's a 2, I don't think you can.

Is Dreamshell worth getting? Just to play GDI games i mean.

Is the Records of Lodos War game any good? Or is it just a Diablo clone?

>>3436552
More like Record of Ludos War, am I right?

>>3429172
Expanded it. I wanted to include more, but the mosaic maker limits to 36.

>>3436552
It's good. It's basically diablo but with a twist and some neat details like your boot type deciding how audible and from how far are your steps to the enemy for example. It's the first and probably last time I saw such a mechanic. Also has lot's of dungeons to explore and side content.

>>3430087
I used verbatims a lot too. Sometimes they worked, sometimes I got a bad burn. Probably my computer disc drive
