It's more of a pain to change the files. Exctracting the cdi file with maybe iso buster, then changing the files/rearranging it so it loads with the new bios. Then putting it into a cdi image file. I don't know if you put it back if you need to change anything to make sure it is stillself-booting. It's something like that but beats me since I have no need to do it.

I think I need about 100 more or so games to get all the DC games ever made ;)

Hehe, just catching up on all the games since I have so much, just started playing NBA 2K2 and NFL2K2.

<< The Toys R' Us on Brown Deer Road in Milwaukee has Dreamcasts for $49 or the Dreamcast + NFL2k1/NBA2k1/World Series 2k1 all for $69.

This was as of today, Wednesday.
>>


Circuit City has the same sports bundle for $69.99, starting today. They didn't have any $49 consoles, just sports bundles. They must have gotten a shipment of them because the stack was about 12x15: 180 units. I flipped over a few boxes and the dates ranged from July 2000 through October 2000.


<< Why do you think this great console was discontinued? Piracy played a major role in it. >>


Some role, yes, but Sega lost some credibility with retailers with the Saturn console. And of course, Sony PS2 vaporware played a critical part.

i guess they still have many dc because those are the old stock from 1999 all play backups.

cant explain how leech works on mirc you have to look around and find out its knowing the commands like in dos you have to understand it first then go leech from mirc, irc etc.

be careful if you're a new user to irc nets. be sure to have a good firewall up, and make sure to auto-ignore certain file types and never use the DCC auto accept option. lots of bad junks if you're not careful.

i was in a toys r us yesterday and they had them for 49.99, they had a few dozen left from the looks of it. i picked up one in an older-style box (blurred-red top view of the DC), it was made in April 2000.

That's the saddest webpage I've ever seen (www.bleem.com)

I see some on E*ay that seem to be for specific titles of playstation games. Is that how it works? You need to get a special disk per game? Or is there a universal version?

I think that's the funniest thing in the world! Playstation games on dreamcast...

Unfortunately, it's specific for each game. I think there are versions for Metal Gear Solid, Tekken3 and Grand Turismo 2. I bought the one for GT2. The resolution is supposed to be double, and the quality is supposed to be better. Can't wait until it arrives! :)

Well, unless you plan on sitting infront of you computer for hours on end waiting for your turn in the que, you'll have dcc auto accept on. Just have a good anti-virus program and scan any files that you receive that you didn't request.
