Dreamcast Emulation? Newbie

[spaceboygp32x]

sorry but you guys are so much nicer than the dreamcast lot! - and there forums all black and scary!

I just want to know - if i want to play emulators and beats of rage on a dreamcast - do I have to get it modchipped? or does it read cdr's without one?

There isn't a mod chip required, and any CDR should be fine.

if you've got the staying power, its worth saving up for an xbox, if you're after emulation.

I dont want to modchip though!

+ dreamcasts are going for £10 on ebay (shhhhhh)

+ xbox isnt very retro!!

that means i can spray it - sticker it - let my little boy play it! without fear of ruining anything!

it will be like a big daddy to my Gp32!

hooray!

You don't need a modchip or to open the unit at all. softmodding works pretty reliably on most older xboxes now, just need a certain game and an action replay memory card...

if you mean the dreamcast - think its pretty good on mame and genesis, amiga and atari ST... theres a GBA emulator forthcoming

I think that Doom and Beats of rage were ported from the dreamcast to the GP so no need to emulate the GP32!

all the BOR.PAK files are roughly the same!!

from what i can gather you just make bootable disks like we make smc's

yay!

its a big GP32!!

It' s not to diss the dev' s work on the snes emu, but I think that Opensnes is far more better talking about speed!

The DC can emulate anything below and including NES pretty near perfect. Snes emulation unfortunately is about the same as the GP32... personally saving up for an xbox

Yeah, I use dreamcast for the awesome games. The best arcade console imo. My xbox is to enjoy the more recent games (enjoying second sight at the moment), emulation and most of all, XBMC.

Yeah, I had a go at mame on dc and it's ok. It's just I origionally bought a dreamcast for it's divx players and emulators. After finding it's amazing games I used it for that instead and saved up for an xbox to do the other stuff as it does it much better. Mame on the box rox . Although dc is deffinately better value for money.
