So what is the name of the bios ?

davv · August 22nd, 2003

The name of the DC bios, for example for ps one of them is scph1000.zip or somthing like that so what is it for the DC ? I just want the name of it that's all thanks. It might be possible know one knows it yet.

do you really need one?
ill look into it. havent heard about a DC Bios nowhere. dont even think Icarus is using one....

**_E_** · August 22nd, 2003

I am not quite sure, but I remember seeing a BIOS named dc-bios.zip, when I expanded it , I got a binary file , Ip.bin . Weather this IS the DC Bios or not, that I do know

Yours,

well, i downloaded it form a major romsite so i figured it was real.

>sorry for the downloading talk....

IP.BIN is not the bios file. I don't think the bios has been released yet. IIRC IP.BIN is a file on every DC game that just has info about the game, like the game's name, the version, region code and other info.

The BIOS is 2MB, it exists of course, I don't see why not.

TerrorShocked · August 22nd, 2003

rofl, what Rand said is pretty much an inside joke from Dcemulation.

The bios does exist and is easily dumped with proper connections to the Dreamcast (Coder's Cable and BBA do it I think). The IP.BIN is NOT the bios.... a lot of confusion around there that it is. The IP.BIN simply tells the Dreamcast what to boot (usually the scrambled 1ST_READ.bin).

There also has been people of acussing me that a scrambled 1ST_READ.bin is illegal. It is not, Galoob Vs. Nintendo taught us that if I remember correctly. I will not go into the technical reasons WHY it isn't illegal.... bust just know that it isn't unless the program was made with a pirated devkit.

Cid Highwind · August 23rd, 2003

Why need a BIOS?? Just buy a real DC, you won't be disappointed with it's possibililties!! And you will get your bios

davv · August 23rd, 2003

The reason i'm asking when one day the emulater comes out we will need it ok. I not able to xfer the one from my dc cause i don't know how to do that. Don't tell me how to do it i don't want to know okay.

Galway no Sora · August 23rd, 2003

Even the emu not released yet, how the hell we know we must use the bios or not ... asking something that is not released yet is useless! Better you wait, davv.
