Sega Dreamcast emulation / game burning questions...

ChristHimself! · 09-04-2005, 04:40 PM

Anyone use a Dreamcast for this sort of thing?

I understand that you can download and burn dreamcast games to normal cds.. is this really easy ie. just download the game, burn it with Nero and away you go? or is it more complex...

I also heard that you can run MAME emulators with lots of games on the one disc? Is this also true, and if so, how easy is this to go about?

I just saw one with controller for like Â£16 used and remembered I'd heard something vague about this ages ago.. it would be excellent to have a MAME emulator in the living room with a console controller, and really great if I can just burn all the old dreamcast games too (Rez!!)

any help is helpfully helpful

don't you usually need hardware mods to run bootlegs?

Dreamcast only needs a boot-disc to run copied games and other stuff. I used to have one. As far as burning games, I think you just burn the image the same as anything else. I'm not sure about how to copy games. I think it is pretty involved, like hooking up some cables to the Dreamcast and plugging into your PC somehow. I've never done it, I always just downloaded or borrowed copied games.

Yeah just burn them to disc like normal (nero), like ZackZ said all you need is a book-disc.

I had a game on Power stone 2 and Zombie Revenge yesterday <3.
