/vr/ - Retro Games

The local shop is selling a Japanese Dreamcast with a ton of games for $120. There were a few I didn't recognize, but most of them were quality games. Here's a list of the games I remember.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Street Fighter Zero 3
Capcom vs. SNK 2
King of Fighters 2002
Crazy Taxi
Jet Set Radio
Virtual On

Is it worth it? Could someone recommend me some Japanese exclusive games?

Cool Cool Toon
Lack of Love
Cosmic Smash

Rez and Shenmue II never came out in America. Those would be cool to have in Japanese.

>>600674
$120 might be a bit much, but those are all really quality games.

My best Dreamcast score has to be "Toy Commander: Christmas Surprise". An exclusive Official Dreamcast Magazine release created by the guy who made Alone in the Dark. It's hard as fuck to find, although nobody knows about it so it's cheap enough if you can find it. Took me months of hunting. And I had to track down the magazine and disc number because people who have the disc don't know what games and demos it has half the time.

Best Dreamcast game I have in terms of playability, though? Shenmue I guess. Or the D/Enemy Zero games.

Segagaga

>tfw the Segagaga translation will never be finished.

>>600689

I would say there were at least 15 games, and just about all of them were worth owning. I'm weary of blowing $120 as well, especially considering I could just burn all those games. But I do love the Dreamcast...

Plus, dat Japanese JSR cover.

Finally got a Dreamcast Arcade Stick thanks to an awesome anon in the BST thread. Tracking says it's supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I'm hype to finally play CvS2 the way it should be. It's nearly impossible to play on the Dreamcast controller.

>tfw you can burn basically everything
>motherfucking gunlord

Anybody know how to do emulators on it? is it the same as burning games?

>Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro.

Ignore trolls. Discuss Dreamcast.

>>600703

Yup. I've only ever emulated single Neo Geo games with it though, so I'm not sure how you would stick a bunch of ROMs on there. I'm it's explained in the readme of whatever emulator you're downloading.

>>600706
But you are the trolls.

>>600687
Rez is such a gem of a game my god.
But this reminds me that Real Sound: Kaze no Regret is pretty cool too. I bought it even though my system is NTSC. I understand it's pretty easy to make a Dreamcast boot dick, though, right? I haven't had the time to experiment really yet. Anybody know about how to play JNTSC games on an NTSC Dreamcast?

>>600702

The Dreamcast stick is awesome. I really need to find a Dreamcast-to-USB converter so I can use it with emulators. It's way better than the shitty Playstation stick I'm using right now.

>ebay, amazon both selling extra controllers and VMU's for about 5 bucks
>too expensive for me
>go by local retro game store
>15 and up, not even with VMU's

I want to support these stores, but fuck that

>>600714

Eh, $5 for retro accessories is pretty good actually. They're only bound to go up in price, if anything.

Sure is retro games in here.

>>600719

I have a PS1 fighting stick thing (ironic, since I dont even have a PS1). is there some kid of converter than I can plug it into my DC with?

>living in Spain
>move to 'murika
>play Shenmue
>want to play Shenmue II
>Europe only

I received my dreamcast yesterday
>guy included boxed controller, burned games, a vmu, and a sealed web browser
I love him so much.
I started burning so many games, burning Capcom Fightan Collection Right now.

Also, many collector circles regard the dreamcast retro because it was based on the retro Naomi board

I really want to buy an arcade stick. The officially licensed one looks so awesome but its 90 bucks. I dont play a lot of fightan games, but I have bros who love Powerstone and MvC2
any cheap arcade stick?

Or how about best lightgun?

or hey, how do you play online? I heard people still play PSO

>>600721
Well someone clearly didn't read the board rules.

>>600723

Maybe this?

http://www.amazon.com/Total-Control-Plus-Dreamcast-adapter-PC/dp/B008ELD23O

>>600728

It's on the Xbox.

Why did sega remove it so quickly. The PS2's sales died out a few months after it was out because other dvd players dropped to compete. If sega kept it they would have done much better.
>>600737
Theres a mod for the DC that has the english audio.

also I say this in every DC thread
PSO is my favorite game because I met my wife in it

>>600734
You need them explained again??? You're not that dense.

>>600723
Get a total control 2. It converts PS1/2 controllers to Dreamcast with virtually no input lag and maps the buttons perfectly. Plus it's only like 30 bucks.

>>600724

5 bucks each, I should clarify

$10 seems like too much for just 1 controller and VMU

>>600734

Ignore trolls. Discuss Dreamcast.

>>600734
If you mean you, then yes.
>Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro

>>600731
>>600736

YES

Quick question: I've found disc images that are over 700 MB. How the hell do I burn those to regular CDs?

>>600771

>Anyways, whats the best dreamcast fighting game? You are only allowed to choose ONE.

Uhh...

Dead or Alive 2

Can we talk about games released in 2012, if they're for the Dreamcast?

>>600761
Best bet is to use overburn on your Image Burning program. If it's not much over 700mb, there won't really be any problems, but if it's way over, you've gotta buy a 99min disc to get the full game and 99min CDs are stupid expensive.

how do you play the Dc online today? I can't fit an ethernet cable into mine, and I want to play Alien Front online, bomberman, and PS:O

not retro

>>600778
So? That's no reason to break rules here. This isn't a refugee camp for people that got their feelings hurt by /v/.

>>600795
That's just shameless.

>>600779

>Imgur

Hurrrr. I meant Imgburn.

>>600771
CvS2 is the best for gameplay, but I think Project Justice takes the cake because it's got such great art direction, the characters are vibrant and loveable, and the whole game oozes charm.

>>600767
>>600771

Thank you. I've had De La Jet Set Radio sitting in my HDD forever.

>>600783

Are they really that rare/expensive? And what's the maximum overburn threshold?

>>600779

What do you mean? What kind of DLLs are you talking about?

>>600794
DoA2's an awesome game except for that FUCKING FREE STEP BUTTON.

Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?

>>600786

>I can't fit an ethernet cable into mine

Anon, pls...

The Dreamcast modem is 56k, i.e. Dial-up. They sold a broadband adapter, but those are exceedingly rare and expensive these days.

>>600806

what?

Its fun as hell

>>600795
Yeah because its retro. We can talk about N64 games made after 2001.
ironically, dreamcast was during the N64's lifetime. 2 years after its launched, and it died 2 years before the 64 did.
>>600794
>doa2
you mean powerstone right? heh, right?

>>600809
They're not rare, just expensive. IIRC, they don't make them in murrica so they've got to be imported and that gets expensive quick.


No idea what the overburn threshold is. Certainly not anything 800mb or over.

Dreamcasters fuck off /vr/.
This board is or retro games and consoles.
The dreamcast, as a sixth gen console isn't retro.
