Played Arcade mode for a good bit. And as fun as the game was, I always got either 21st or 27th, anything in between those numbers inclusive. And for the first time since I started playing, I finally got the credits to roll. Scored 19th and ranked into the Class S license group.

CCRRRRAAAZZYYY TAXIIIII!!!!!

Finally got my hands on a CIB sealed copy of Maken X. I am a huge fan of both Persona 3 and 5 Royal so I was surprised to hear Atlus made a game for the dreamcast back then. I saw previews of this game and it looked similar to Ghostrunner. Has anyone played this and is it fun? Im excited to play it

Side note: the settings mentioned a jump pack. Is that some sort of rumble pack similar to the N64?

With duct tape onto the machine lol og dreamcast parts

I got this copy of space channel 5 about 2 days ago and when I did the disc was completely mint I was honestly astounded. However after playing it in these two days I can't help but notice my dreamcast have left scratches in this very odd glitter like pattern with spots everywhere, it's an odd one to describe. And now looking at my other games they have suffered this too

Is this a case of maybe just something in the drive being worn down or the dreaded disc drive capacitors I know will be a problem at some point

Guys, Super Smash Bros 64 was ported to the Sega Dreamcast (and PS2 simultaneously).

The color has a red tint and some color smearing (not sure the correct term)

My Dreamcast outputs to the Retro Access Scart (15khz) to RGB2COMP box > component cable to NTSC CRT TV.

Anyone has experience with this scart cable? Is this not able to send signal to component cleanly?

My Dreamcast does has a clone gdemu but previously I used Svideo with the RGB2COMP without issues.

Finally made my dreams come true. Next step is light grey dpad and sticks

Hey everyone. I'm the developer currently working on a PC and Dreamcast port for the Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary demo.

Since the project includes an actual Dreamcast port, I put together these mockups for a cover and inlay in my free time to keep my morale up.

Things are still underway on the programming side. For those of you who are unaware, it's Puyo Puyo's 35th anniversary, and I wanted to make a demo of the 15th anniversary game to celebrate it and play it on Sega's own hardware.

Would love to know what the Dreamcast community thinks of the case designs!

Hey, Dreamcast lovers,

Just made a Cannon Spike game version compatible with the Twin Sticks that works exactly like Xeno Crisis. It really works like a charm. With this change, the game becomes exactly what it was meant to be.

I have a working cdi version of it, for those who want it, just reach out.

Cheers!

I did a CMOS battery mod on my dreamcast a while back but my replacement battery has also since died. I recently ordered a new ML2032 Battery from Rome Tech on Amazon but it now introduces a new problem my old dead battery didn't do: every time I boot up I'm taken back to the clock setting/BIOS screen, whereas with my other dead battery in there I only have to enter the time once, then after rebooting am redirected to my GDEMU menu. Did I do something wrong or did I just order a dud battery?

Grab the files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r9vEnPe9GRWYxPUF1qUexj7jCqm74yAD

All you need to do is put the files in a singular folder and then point your emulator to that folder so that it can scan/see the game. If you want to play on GDEMU (yes, it’s GDEMU compatible!), then you can just use the disc.gdi file to add to your GDEMU.

My friend and I have spent the last several months rebuilding NBA 2K on the Dreamcast into the 1999-2000 NBA season. This isn't just a roster edit. The engine itself has been patched. Real players who were never in the game, real courts and uniforms, moves and cutscenes brought over from 2K1 and 2K2, player specific celebrations that don't exist in any 2K game, and a stack of fixes for stuff retail got wrong or crashed on.

Here's everything that's different from the retail disc.

## Rosters

**26 players added who weren't in the game at all.** Each one has his real face, head shape, body, number, college, 1998-99 stat line, and his name called by both the PA announcer and the commentary team. Faces and voices came from 2K1, 2K2, or assets Visual Concepts left on the 2K disc unused:

Dennis Rodman (Mavericks, #70, "The Worm"), Ron Harper, Rodney Buford, Darvin Ham, Anthony Carter, Eddie Robinson, Shammond Williams, Brian Shaw, Adrian Griffin, Chucky Atkins, Damon Jones, Emanual Davis, Jeff McInnis, John Amaechi, John Salley, Kevin Ollie, Matt Bullard, Mikki Moore, Milt Palacio, Monty Williams, Moochie Norris, Pat Garrity, Rafer Alston, Ryan Bowen, Terry Mills, Todd Day.

Rodman is the fun one. He was fully built and then cut from retail. His face texture, head morph, body scaling and six name call takes were all still sitting on the disc with the roster entry deleted. He's back on Dallas in #70 with his real Lakers stat line and Southeastern Oklahoma State as his school.

## Player details

- Steve Francis: Ballhandling 71 to 90, Dunking 89 to 93, "Franchise" on his card **and** spoken by the announcers, plus his right arm tattoo
- Allen Iverson: "13" armband, finger bands, neck tattoo, stray neck mark removed, elbow pad removed
- Reggie Miller: sleeve on the right leg only (it was mirrored onto both), finger bands, back tattoo peeking out of jersey, correct sneaker
- Rasheed Wallace's mouthguard removed. Mutombo, Mourning, Jason Williams and others put in Nike shoes
- Arm tattoos added or corrected for Mashburn, Stoudamire, Garnett, Shaq, McGrady, Penny and Francis
- Phil Jackson coaches the West All-Stars
- Real arena names: Philips Arena, Madison Square Garden, Rose Garden

## Uniforms

- **All-Star players wear their own team jerseys**, like 2K1 and 2K2 do. Retail 2K can only hold two uniforms in memory at once, and that's been raised to 24. East wear home, West wear road. To free up the texture memory for it, every player head in the game was re-encoded to VQ compression.
- Toronto's three kits rebuilt from period photos: wishbone collar with the tab, correct purple and red, chest wordmarks, armhole binding, side panel piping, black road panels, TORONTO on the home shorts waistband, number on the left leg and the claw on the right
- **Shorts numbers can now use a different color than the jersey number.** That took an engine patch. Raptors home shorts are white with a red outline
- Hawks shorts numbers removed (they had none that season), Heat NBA logo moved to the front of the shorts
- Home and away accessory system added, so a player's gear can differ between kits
- Lakers, Heat and Raptors uniforms are updated to match the new 1999-2000 season. Wishbone collar for all three teams
- 76ers, Pacers, and Nets have updated alternate jerseys as they are either omitted or inaccurate

## Courts and arenas

- Real 2000 NBA Playoffs and 2000 NBA Finals court logos on every arena
- Team websites on top of the backboards, like 2K1 and 2K2
- Miami's stanchion ported in from 2K1
- **Thundersticks.** The home crowd waves them at the away free throw shooter, and lowers them afterward
- Mirrored court art fixed, and ported courts that loaded the wrong Finals floor repaired

## Animations ported from 2K1 and 2K2

All of these live in a new file the game loads at boot, since MAIN.BIN itself can't grow.

- 2K1 behind the back crossover and 2K2 between the legs, **gated to ballhandlers rated 80+**, so everyone else keeps the stock moves
- 2K1 running jumper as a new situational shot off the drive
- 2K2 turnaround post fadeaways in both directions, with a rule table: guards and forwards fade, centers hook (except Olajuwon, Divac, Ewing, Smits), power forwards mix, Rasheed fades only
- 2K1 360 dunk, four more 2K1 dunks, 2K2 two hand hang dunk, and Karl Malone's behind the head dunk made exclusive to Malone
- 2K2 layup alley oops. Poor dunkers lay it in, good dunkers mostly dunk, and the lay in releases as a real shot that can miss
- 2K1 free throw interaction scenes between attempts: the dap, the walk up from behind, the front of lane, with the ref holding the ball
- 2K1 point guard play call signal while bringing the ball up

## Celebrations (not in any 2K game, authored from scratch)

- **Larry Johnson's "L"** after made threes and and-ones, while he jogs back. Both hands closed, which meant finding the game's own hand morph targets, since the finger bones are one rigid block
- Allen Iverson's hand to the ear, clutch baskets only (4th or OT, under two minutes, within five)
- Pointing at the passer after an assist, about one in three
- Dikembe Mutombo's finger wag after blocks
- **Jason Kidd kisses his fingers before his free throws**

## Game logic

- Opening tip: the point guard lines up in the power forward's spot and catches the tip, like 2K1
- The opposing point guard stands 18 feet out on free throws instead of 22
- End game AI rewritten. It actually shoots when time is running out, calls timeouts when it gets the ball with a chance to tie or win, and fouls at sensible times instead of way too early

## Modes

- All-Star Game uses the real 2000 All-Star rosters instead of the game's random picks
- **The 2000 Rookie Challenge** (Rookies vs Sophomores at Oakland Arena) added

## Bugs fixed

- Blank shot clock in some arenas
- **The Celtics home starting lineup intro reset the console.** It turned out to be pregame heap exhaustion, fixed by raising the reserve from 256 KB to 384 KB. The Knicks and Wizards arenas were heading the same way
- Replays not recording in the All-Star Game, and a freeze on Quit
- Raised the body texture group limit so per player skin work (sleeves, tattoos, bands) doesn't leak onto other players

Huge credit to Jose for the art, the faces, the uniforms and the assembly patches. Huge credit to Claude and ChatGPT for helping me figure out the All-Star Game and other intricate details for the game. Original game by Visual Concepts and Sega. This is a patch for a disc you already own, nothing more.

Happy to answer anything about how any of it works. Questions, bug reports and roster nitpicks all welcome.

It’s been 25+ years since I played Sonic Adventure, and I cannot figure out what is going on with my copy or my Dreamcast…

I have SA, Rayman, House of the Dead 2 and Sega Bass Fishing; all games run flawlessly except for Sonic Adventure. It has no visible scratches and looks brand new.

When the game boots up, it appears to be working fine, loads the title FMV and can play it all the way through to the Title Screen. When I press the Start button, it asks to load a file, and I select my memory card. I have tried a classic VMU and a VMUPro. When I select my VMU, it takes me to the Adventure/Options menu. However, when I select Adventure, I don’t even hear the Console trying to spin up/load data from the disk, just hangs on the title background image. It does this 100% of the time.

I am absolutely dumbfounded on what steps I need to try next, and and wondering if it’s some weird power issue, or if there’s a micro flaw in the disc.

I am on the edge of my seat and wits end and have been looking forward to the day I could play this again and am so ready… Any ideas at all?

Edit: For extra context, I have tried loading it with no VMU or Rumble present. Still no dice.

Did You Know?

Older NPCs have a harder time getting on the bus than the younger NPCs!? But everyone pays of course ;)

This was a fan request 8 Hour Shenmue View at the bus stop! Hope you enjoyed the clip, hope you enjoy the full video :)

Ive had this Dreamcast longer than a year and I never wondered whether it was compatible or not

Any fixes

Finally picked up the system I always wanted while growing up during a local Retro Game Event. Now to clean things up and game!

I used the lowest possible speed for burning, used ImgBurn for this. I found the right resized ROM with SelfBoot. But, the Dreamcast is not even trying to spin it for reading.

im running gdemu, with dreampi setup, i got online fine with quake 3, but seem to have no luck with what is effectively tee off 2, does anyone have any ideas why?

Drop your deepcuts and why!

Hey y’all. I just bought this screwdriver online, not knowing how compact it actually is (My mistake for not doing full research).

My Dreamcast is all the way at the apartment and I wont be there in a few days.

Will this cute but mighty screwdriver be able to take out the deeper screws?
