Checking the Dreamcast Bios

Norbi · June 10th, 2004

Is there a way of checking is the dc bios correct? I tried few diffrent ones but it brings the same result...

dc_bios.bin should be 2.00mb
dc_flash.bin should be 128kb

CRC32 is one way of checking. However there are more than 1 correct bios roms out there. dc_flash.bin however, you are better off getting online as if you dump your own, atleast when I did, it would constantly nag me about the clock/time.

89F2B1A1 - CRC32 of DC_Bios.Bin that is confirmed to work. The CRC32 of DC_Flash is useless as it constantly can change.
