The explanation below should help in understanding why certain Dreamcasts won't play burned CD-Rs: 'Dreamcasts with a Number 1 in a circle can play burned CD-Rs with no problem' Here is an image to show what I'm talking about: I should know: I have one that can't play ANY burned games. Dreamcasts that do not read burned games without physical modification are extremely rare, but they do exist. If you have a number 2 in a circle, YMMV but expect it to not read burned CD-Rs. The general rule of thumb is if there is a Number 0 or 1 in a circle on the underside of your console, you can play burned games with NO MODIFICATION TO YOUR SYSTEM. Any Dreamcast console after this date has a chance of not being able to read burned CD-Rs. These games are mostly for people who use Dreamcast consoles that were made before or around December 2000. This could also be something I did wrong, but just keep this in mind: not every image may be usable with VGA without doing the VGA trick.

Of every image that I have tested so far (a few dozen games), I have had 2 games that wouldn't immediately work with my Dreamcast VGA cable (Soul Fighter and Zero Gunner 2), so you may still need to keep your composite cables, just in case. I have not confirmed this yet, so take this with a grain of salt. I finally decided to bite the bullet and just do it! So here it is: the DCRes Complete Collection.Īccording to documentation, this is every single release from the DCRes project, including many (if not all) of the tools used to create these games.ĭCRes, for the uninitiated, was a project created by TuxTheWise to optimize the way Dreamcast backups worked, reducing that 'grinding' sound, as well as increasing drive longevity! The creator also added VGA support to every release within here. I have been wanting to share this for a very long time but have been rather reluctant to upload anything on nyaa considering there is such strict guidelines for uploading/creating torrents.

I should've done this on, NA Dreamcast's 21st birthday (Dreamcast is legally able to drink now, woo!!!), but me being the idiot I am, I didn't even think about doing it until today. I have been sitting on this for.god knows how many years now. I renamed it to just DCRES Complete Pack because that was how it was saved on my HDD so that I could force recheck and properly seed. Description This torrent is also known as DCRES Complete Pack For Dreamcast By TuxTheWise.
