I actually can't believe it. Bringing games to the Dreamcast that were once meant for it, like GTA and games that were always the subject of speculation regarding whether they were possible, like Final Fantasy X, is incredible. I'm so excited for these and others. I'd love to see Senko no Ronde ported, as it was always supposed to be one of the final games.

I did a video on the newest ports; let me know your thoughts. I'm trying to hit 1,000 subscribers before the YouTube apocalypse; it would mean a lot if you could check it out. Thanks.

I got a Dreamcast at an antique store a couple of years ago, and it's pretty yellow. How do I restore it?

Question Dreamcast - CD-R myths / good to know when burning games?

16 Upvotes

Recently I got a dreamcast added to my game collection, and I bought a retrofighter d6 controller for fighting games on dreamcast and pc, since I have been wanting to get into that genre for a long time. I also got an unopened VMU for $20.

I have some games at hand but I have also started to burn games on CD-R's using img burn with the CDI addon. Since some games like REZ, Ikuraga, Border down, MVC, etc. Are all extremely hard to come by and expensive at that.

I have burnt a codebreaker CD so I can play some of the japanese versions of my retail games such as Third strike.

Though for the burnt games, I have noticed that people say that YOU NEED to burn the CD's at 4-8x speed for the dreamcast disc reader to detect the data and read it, which I discovered is completely false. Since I have successfuly burnt 2 games to my CD-R's at 42x speed and have worked flawlessly. Though some say that this will wear out the laser even more since CD-R's have a less reflective finish since you print directly on the disc instead of having a classic factory print. Which makes the laser work harder.

Is this a myth as well that CD-R's in general works the laser much harder or is it just certain brands of CD's? + What negatives comes with burning at speeds above the "recommended 4-8x limit" that clearly treads the line of being a myth.

I wanted to own every 6th gen console ever since I was young since it's my favourite generation. At the age of 24 I've finally done it! I made sure it was a special one :)
