Re: can you play roms on dc help!!!

NES = Yes
SNES = Yes
PSX = Yes PCSX-DC. There is Bleemcast but it's out of production and you had to pay for it.
Neo = Yes
N64 = Never gonna happen(not enough power) Well I think someone emulated Mario, but really slow.

You can find emu's at http://www.dcemulation.com/

Re: can you play roms on dc help!!!

you can put multiple roms on the disk becuz the emu comes with a menu me thinks so you can select which game you want.

yes there is a pc engine emu, if you look at this website you can find one
http://www.dcemulation.com/

as for the dreamcast playing backups, there should be no problem. my friend has a dreamcast and it doesnt even need a modchip to play his backups.

Re: can you play roms on dc help!!!

Let me do the more thouroughly.

NES = Yes, full speed and sound (NesterDC)
SNES = Yes, most full speed (DreamSNES)
PSX = Yes PCSXDC runs very slow at the momment but it still runs. Bleemcast packs can still be found around on places such as Ebay.
Neo-Geo = Yes, but romsizes are extremely limited (about 5megs zipped)
N64 = Nope, never. All n64 emulators that have been released have been fake or jokes.

Re: can you play roms on dc help!!!

Bleemcast isnt worth it, especially if you have a PSX or PS2.

the reason i say this is even though the graphics are amazing (see the MGS bleemcast)....the controller is horrible. the Dreamcast controller is an "eh" controller IMO but for PSX games...it just works horribly
