Episode Notes:
1. All games captured on real DC hardware via the Pack a Punch 480p RGB cable.
2. Dolphin Blue and Maximum Speed have been released since I started this video.
3. The Atomiswave is based on the Dreamcast/Naomi architecture. The main differences in all 3 tend to be amount of RAM and the version of the PowerVR used for its GPU.

5. I made it sound like all the fighters in Sam Shodown VI were from past games. It does have new fighters.
Only 3 out of the 8 games converted so far run on a Vanilla Dreamcast. Since the Atomiswave hardware is cartridge based, many games require a DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel and even the ones that don't may constantly read data from the cart during gameplay. The games requiring a DMA channel may never be converted to CDI format (required in order to be able to burn them to disc)
Even the 3 already converted to CDI format experience some stuttering whenever the game needs to access data from the disc.
These convesions are mainly designed to be run from an ODE like TerraOnion's M.O.D.E., USB-GDROM, GDEmu or Dreamshell with a hard drive interface.
This needs to be pinned comment
I think you are just seeing the early days of these games availability. With time the disc support may improve.
There are 6 releases so far. All 6 run on the dreamcast. Some have bad slow down or studdering. They all run on my MODE.
@@SegaLordX Unfortunately Megavolt85 already stated DMA is not possible on a GD-ROM drive (It is also not possible on Dreamshell using SD card adapter). It would require heavy re-programing.
@@JeffYPbPr There are 9 games released, not 6. I've been following this closely and uploading videos to my channel with each release.
• Metal Slug 6
• King of Fighters XI
• Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden
• Neo Geo Battle Coliseum
• Knights of Valour The Seven Spirits
• Faster Than Speed
• Dolphin Blue
• Maximum Speed
• King of Fighters NeoWave
This is amazing, it's such a "what could have been?" type of scenario. That alternate reality where the Dreamcast became the exclusive home of SNK and had a steady stream of 1:1 arcade ports coming in from all sorts of developers could have been amazing.
The DC was clearly killed far too soon. It was still relevant for the arcades several years later.
@@RetroDawnExactly. It would have been really easy to upgrare to Naomi 2 level as well
This is amazing! I've always wondered how Dreamcast games would've looked had the system lived on longer, these arcade titles might give a little look into that.
I'm pretty sure people still make homebrews for the Dreamcast, thanks to the system's lax copy protection
@@otaking3582 yes but those games usually looks like shits
@@JonDan No, the ones I've seen all look really good. Sure, pretty much all of them are 2D, but they're nice looking 2D games, at least.
@@otaking3582can you gives some examples? I’m interested in getting some of these games weather they are 2D or 3D. I just love playing Games on the Dreamcast, only had it about 2 weeks and it’s already one of my favourite consoles ever. I have Dolphin Blue for it which is awesome and looking for other titles if you could recommend any.
Atomiswave finally getting some love. Man I love the look of these games, takes you back to the arcade days.
Ahhhh, the 90's were absolutely magical for gamers.
@@retiredtidepodeater3339 uh, try the 2000s buddy lol
@@thomasbeall9069 90s peaked for arcade releases. I had a massive audience of around 20 to 30 people watch me finish Xmen vs streetfighter in the arcade. And a lot smaller one for finishing house of the dead.
@@tomcook3860 The Golden Age is agreed to be the late 70s to early 80s. Nothing ever compared to that period. I started playing arcade games at the age of 3 in 1976/77. All the way through the 80s was still magical (just not as much so as the Golden Age). Things went south as/after the 80s ended. All the games were either fighting, driving, or light gun.
@@RetroDawn i agree. I also think the little period between the end of the Saturn and Dreamcast was great also. The games I go back to nowadays are Rez, 10 player Bomberman, space Channel 5, I karuga, Border Down, Do Donpachi,Jet Set Radio, Zero Gunner 2 and a few other ones I still own 2 CRT tvs but are set up in the garage .
Metal Slug on Dreamcast?, oooh baby.
you can play this game and the neo geo ones (dreamcast has neo geo aes, neo geo cd and neo geo pocket emulators, all perform nicely, specially the neo geo cd, very impressive considering the hardware)
I actually have heard of Atomiswave, mostly through the SNK ports to PS2 like KOF XI, Samurai Shodwon VI, and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. I did not know it was basically a Dreamcast as an arcade board though. I legit though Knights of Valour was a side scrolling Dynasty Warriors game.
So..the Dreamcast that was based on Arcade hardware, was then used to power arcade machines that have now had games ported to the console?
Really has gone full circle that.
hey so, when i moved to miami they had one of these in a Laundrymat. and im not kidding next to a neo geo 64. i got to play this a few times.
it had this pretty amazing looking fist of the north star game and then metal slug 6 when it was moved to the super market next door
The links for these games are in the description. Scroll down. For now, most of these are in GDI format and meant to be used with an ODE style device(MODE, GDEMU, etc). I do plan a part 2 for those wanting to know about additional games.
EDIT: For those asking for help with emulators, I'd hit the forums where the images are available. I have little experience with emulation of the DC, so I am of little help.
Definitely want a pt 2 of this video! How many Atomiswave games are for the Dreamcast ? Glad to see the Dreamcast still active
Curious to know if these can be burned to a disc via imgburn.
I'm a tangible item kind of guy, so I really hope we get physical releases of these games. Regardless, still really exciting stuff.
Anyone know how to get these onto disc?
I can't go any further in one of the Blue Dolphin stages, I get stuck in an infinite lupe bug!
can't go any further in one of the Blue Dolphin stages, I get stuck in an infinite lupe bug!
How can i fix this ?

PS2: "I'm the best console ev..."
DREAMCAST ENTERED THE ROOM
I love both but I don't think I can honestly say the Dreamcast library beats the full PS2 library. Dreamcast has a small library when compared. Even compared to PS1.
@@StarshipGhost The Playstations had much more time to shine...
@@Spielername Yeah... SEGA always came out with the next generation consoles first, which is an advantage and disadvantage both. I think that was their mistakes... things might have ended up different if they spent more time and money on the hardware instead of being the first and weakest.
@@StarshipGhost Both consoles had their moments but it's true the PS2 has an absolutely massive games library.
Fist of the North Star Hokuto No Ken pleeeeeeease!!! The PS2 conversion of this just never added up with inferior visuals. I certainly hope this game is next on their list. One of the Atomiswaves best.🙏
Arc systems Fist of the Northstar needs to be released for dreamcast
This is what I want for Christmas!
Oh yes! 👍🏼
Or rereleased on modern consoles
I guess at least we get a little bit of good news after hearing about SEGA selling off their arcade businesses. Very sad.
There still making games there selling off the locations!
Hopefully is to someone that actually plans to use the IPs. Sega could have made crazy money doing Arcade compilations and brought tons of forgotten hits to the modern masses.
@TrueSinister Sonic Generations is great, I haven't had a chance to get Judgment yet but I think I will really like that one!
Sega is still going to make games. Maybe even a few arcade cabs here and there.
They just sold there Japanese arcade venues. Covid, plus usimg the money to work on game production isn't a bad idea.
Hopefully will see some Sega properties utilized this next generation.
@@willeysingleton3057 Exactly
That 2.5 D style of Knights of valour had me imagining what a streets of rage could have looked like oon tbe good old DreamCast.. 🤤
I've known this should be possible for years. It's great to see it actually happening. I think the only barrier in mass entry is you need a VGA or hdmi adaptor to play these games as they've only got 480p mode.
Not really much of a barrier, as HDMI adapters can be picked up pretty cheap. The Kaico adapter being the one I use and it does the job fine. Although, for some reason some games work on some monitors but not others.
Now I dream with VF4 in Dreamcast.
I'm loving Dolphin Blue it is so much like Metal Slug. Never got the chance to play that one in the arcade.
I have an Atomiswave board, for those who haven't played Rumble Fish 2 - please do - it's awesome!
Can't wait 'till Guilty Gear X ver. 1.5 gets this treatment...
It's out now. Check it out.
Never heard of the Atomiswave. It's good to see the retro community is preserving these titles so that they are not lost to time and can be played for years to come.
Thanks! I grabbed the first four and was gone for the weekend, so this video is letting me know about the two newer ones since.
If anyone makes hard copies with artwork and cases I will buy them all.
Great video btw.
Etsy might be the place to go.
Or at the very least contact an Etsy seller who makes those 'ROM hard copies', and request this potential market for them in AtomisWave/Dreamcast games.
You killing it with these videos lately, keep them coming SLX
Thanks for this video. It's very insightful and useful for people like me who want to start collecting for the console. Thanks for the great videos my friend.
Your videos are getting better and better.
It's nice to see what the DC could've been!
I had a consolized atomiswave and I'm glad I got rid of it now that everything can be played on the DC.
I went to a Center Parcs in the Netherlands in 2008, and they had a Naomi arcade cabinet that was converted into a Sammy Atomiswave running The Rumble Fish!
Keep up your great and passionate work, man!
You seriously deserve more subscribers!
I'm super stoked for these! I watched SmokeMonster's video on these games, and they're technically not ports. They're conversions. I can't wait for Dolphin Blue if it ever comes!
Dolphin Blue was released today. Link in the description.
@@SegaLordX *ERRR MA GAWD!!* I love Dolphin Blue! Can't wait to get out of work and download that shit! Hoping for Hokuto No Ken next!
@XC-3730C only to level 3.... Damn that sucks...
@@SegaLordX Awesome news to hear that we can play new Dreamcast games. I don't understand the hardware setup you used to play these games. I'm not sure if you showed us in the video and things you were saying were foreign to me. The idea of playing these games sounds great but if a viewer isn't sure how to play them it's a problem SLX. I noticed the download links you posted below the video. How do you convert the download code into the game? Even though the games are free I would like to see a professional (indie) release of these games you mentioned for the gamers who may not have the necessary equipment to enjoy these games, or the know how like myself. Manuals for all the games you mentioned would be necessary and especially for the fighting games. Gamers like myself want to know all the moves for each character if such information exists because there is no sense in playing a fighting game blind.
Do you think a company like JoshProd would be up the work to give these games a better release since they have the setup and can do the editing to create the manuals for each game and the conversion onto a region free CD for the Dreamcast?
As a game/software developer, I can assure that these qualify as ports. The system is different. Sure, that is mostly in the storage and access of the storage, but still differences that need to be accounted for in the code. Porting is when you take code that works on one system and change it to make it work on another. Sure, often it is used, in relation to games, as opposed to apps, for when there is a difference in CPU, GPU/graphics chip and/or sound chip, but that is not a pre-requisite for the term.
Loosely, the term gets used when entirely new code is written from scratch to create a new program on another platform that resembles an original program (e.g. BITD, most versions of arcade games on console and computers, or even games written in assembly being remade for another system that uses a different CPU, and thus a different assembly language). But that is not a technically accurate usage of the term. Licensed clone, rewrite, or remake is technically more accurate.
I never even HEARD of this. That say's alot. I know about some stuff. lol. Thanks for covering it!
It's quite recent, so this is hot news for the Dreamcast scene.
Hope they do the Fist of the North Star also!!
And Rumble Fish games too.
Yes Fist of the North Star!
What's that game? I only know two rhythm fighting games on Konami 573.
He is doing the full Atomiswave library.
@@TheObserver85 Rumble Fish was already done.
Thank you for the video SLX!! I've known about his arcade board for years but never though anyone would reverse engineer so they could be played on a dreamcast.. Now I've got something to do for next month.
As always keep up the good work!
Atomiswave games were also hacked to work with the Sega Naomi 1 & 2 awhile back.
Neo Geo Battle Coliseum I had on the ps2 and now I see they have it ported on the Dreamcast which is awesome in itself.Thank you for the awesome content
Awesome stuff, I had a bunch of Arcade games in my Dreamcast collection. Now I just use emulator for convenience. Fortunately Dreamcast and Atomiswave is really well emulated.
Fun to think what might have been had these games been converted and released for the Dreamcast back in the day.
I think calling It ports is fine, but maybe "conversions" is a more precise term
@ciaran perry I do, shithead.
@@BorislavVeselinov What is it with people getting abusive, PERSONALLY abusive, over an opinion? What on Earth is wrong with you? Hate filled person.
It’s only odd to people as conversion is the correct term. However it’s a near 1 to 1 conversion. Even more so than the Naomi which was meant to be the arcade Dreamcast.
thank you for this X ive been looking at those atomiswave boards and not wanting to spend the money
Hopefully, we'll FINALLY be able to play The Rumble Fish 2 soon. This is awesome work! Thank you to the whole team that pulled off this great feat!
My local arcade had some of these games. I dont remember Knights of Valour having any slowdown, and the SNK games looked extra sharp on a CRT
If my CD drive wouldn't have gone bad in my OG Dreamcast, at the time a new console was cheaper than replacing the disc drive, I would totally still have it and play it. Maybe my all time favorite system especially for how long it lasted
Buy a GDEMU clone on eBay for $50.
Thank you so much for this channel ❤️
Those Arcade games you covered are awesome. Heck, I got Samurai Shodown VI (on my PS3, you can get plenty of SNK titles from the Japanese PS Store on PS3 and on PS4 and maybe PS5 as well but you can get but a Japanese account isn’t required unlike the PS3, also the PlayStation systems have shit tons of fighting games, I expect no different for PS5, I also really want a Yugioh fighting game on the system as well), the King of Fighters XI and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum and I have both for my PS2 and are damn awesome. Modern day J-fighters are just awesome and are pretty much perfect nowadays in terms of gameplay (you have zero issue pulling off moves as it is a matter of skill, blocking and movement are what you expect and the characters really catch your interest like they do for me, it would be very rare to see one that isn’t that hot these days as nearly all of them get so much praise and enjoyment from many players including myself and you see them in tournaments as well because they’re so good). It’s also worth mentioning that plenty of J-fighters especially in the modern age have awesome music, totally worth ripping and listening to on your MP3 player or smartphone, your car or burning onto a blank CD for your listening pleasure. But enough about that, as awesome as they are, the final boss of KOF XI frustrated me so much I had to cut down his HP (thank god for continue bonuses) because I just can’t beat him at full health unless I’m really lucky. And the final bosses of NGBC are also pretty damn tough as well with Goodman being an absolute dick. I just love frustrating as hell boss battles in fighting games, I hate those them so much I love it. I love these games that were on the PS2 (and 3 via JP Store) but I wonder why Sega didn’t even port these to the Dreamcast. Thank god for the homebrew community.
Neo Geo Battle Coliseum is one of my favorite fighters ever, it's so fun. I definitely recommend learning it just cause it's a blast
This is amazing. Always wanted a new way to play battle coliseum
now we need to see Dreamcast games getting "ports" to the Atomiswave, Naomi and Naomi 2. Would be sick to play Dreamcast bins through netboot on my Naomi 2.
Demolish Fist is also ported to Sega Dreamcast also an fun beat en up! Keep up the amazing work
The blast in the car racer is giving major new age Sonic boost vibes.
This just made my day! 🥳
It’s surreal to think Dreamcast died in the USA in early 2002, but the technology lived till 2008.
It’s similar to the 3DO M2 which never released, but there are five arcade games using its technology.
Really happy to play samurai Shodown 6 on the Dreamcast. I only played the game on the psp samurai Shodown Anthology and I was told by many people that’s it’s a poor port compared to the actual game on home consoles so playing it on the Dreamcast was a joy and delight
Would love to see the "Daytona/Indy500" game *Maximum Speed* make it onto the Dreamcast.
It's already done
This. Is. AWESOME.
Talk about a renaissance for the dreamcast! Absolutely exciting times for the homebrew community!
Wake me up when Hokuto no Ken gets ported.
Agreed 👍👍👍
Definitely agree
I would really love to be able to play that game on the current systems. I have it on the ps2 but just couldn't play it because of the awful controller.
The only game I am interested in.
@@HellTantrumbull "awful controller"? Dude, the PS2 had a great controller!
Fun Fact: IGS is also known for their slot machine games, the likes of which we have seen over the years in corner stores.
I freaking love Dolphin Blue on Atomiswave :D This game needs way more ports to modern and other systems.
Was wondering when youd get to this. Good take.
I heard about these! a couple repro shops online that I frequent have slick looking versions of some of these games, I'm hoping at some point to pick up a couple. Definitely top of the list is Metal Slug 6, haven't had a chance to play that one but it seems fun. I hear it even features ralf and clark of the ikari warriors! so a neat cameo for sure. maybe faster than speed as well? although it'll suck to lose the vs. mode.
Faster than speed looks amazing for Dreamcast!! Seeing that makes me think Scud Race definitely would have been able to have got a port on DC
and daytona 2 battle on the edge
This is awesome ! Now I can stream these new games online.
This is great. Now my favorite is Dolphin Blue which I play on Demul but to be able to run this on my DC I would love that a lot.
They are all being done. Every Atomiswave game.
I miss this type of games...neo geo forever
Nice bud, great video. Thought Dolphin Blue would be the 1st one!
Ahhhh the channel that reminds me of my childhood
I recently started getting interested in collecting arcade hardware for home use and the Atomiswave was one of the first ones on my mind when I heard about it. Many consider it to be a spiritual successor to the Neo Geo MVS and I totally agree. It has so many great games on the platform so it's really nice to see modders and homebrew developers giving the Atomiswave the attention it never got back in the day by porting its library to the Dreamcast. If there's one game I'd like to add to the wishlist it would be Dolphin Blue. The game itself looks amazing, like Metal Slug meets Waterworld if the movie didn't suck balls. However, the original cart is far too rare and expensive for us normies to afford and it never left the Atomiswave roster. My only issue is that the games can only be played if your using some kind of ODE. I have a decent physical collection I like to use so I'd rather keep my disc drive installed. I'll probably grab a second Dreamcast specifically to mod so I can play the Atomiswave games plus whatever homebrew is out there.
You don't need to prove anything to me buddy. I already read the conversation you had with SegaLordX an hour ago, it's plainly obvious you don't like Atomiswave. Quite frankly I also don't care if my comparison pisses you off. I love and respect Neo Geo just as much as you do but the difference between you and I is I have an appreciation for all sorts of game hardware, not just the best. Go take your needless frustration out somewhere else.
@TrueSinister Once again you choose to argue with me without understanding what I said. I'm not as clueless about these facts as you think I am. I am well aware of the history for both of these machines. If I wasn't then I wouldn't have even cared to watch this video in the first place. First, go look up the meaning of "spiritual" successor. If you knew what that meant then you wouldn't have to feel so offended. If I said it was a literal successor than I'd understand your point, but we're not talking about the HyperNeoGeo64 now are we?
A spiritual successor is something made in the "spirit" of something else in a similar manner usually by people who worked on the precursor to the subject at hand. A good example is an arcade game called H2Overdrive being a spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder despite the latter being much more successful, longer lasting and having more impact. H2Overdrive was very similar to Hydro Thunder and was created by many of the same Hydro Thunder developers from Midway.
The same attributes can be applied to the Atomiswave vs the Neo Geo: SNK specifically chose to develop games for it after retiring the Neo Geo therefore has a few of its older properties on it, it was an arcade board that took interchangeable cartridges and runs through JAMMA all just like an MVS. It didn't have the same impact or lifespan as the MVS/AES, but that doesn't make it disrespectful to compare the two. You trying to say that it does just makes you sound like an entitled Neo Geo fanboy with something to prove.
On the subject of you not liking Atomiswave, while its true that wasn't mentioned in your first comment to me I need to point out the fact that you wouldn't be so hellbent on arguing with me if you didn't have something to prove against it to the point where you read through comments just to pick mine to say "your comment pissed me off and I disagree with you". So one last time, as I previously mentioned in my last post, go take your needless frustration out somewhere else.
@TrueSinister This response truly impressed me! Kudos!
Edit: This is the response I'm referring to, since my comment was ambiguous:
"my apologies."
@TrueSinister I support this comment, as well! Your comments brought important context to their initial comment. I think your both right, and that, yes, this definitely shouldn't get so emotional, and they shouldn't have been disrespectful to you, especially with the effective name-calling.
Great video! I didn't know much about the Sammy Atomiswave. So thank you for educating me on that! Since you said you never played Neo Geo Battle Coliseum before making this video, I HIGHLY recommend checking out and giving the Ps2 version a try. I absolutely love it! I always say fighting games are better on Playstation because of the shape of the controller with dual analog sticks.
Probably a long-shot, but I wonder if it would ever be possible for these companies that are doing the official-licensed aftermarket DC games like Flashback and the various official arcade game ports, to get the rights to do official aftermarket ports of the Atomiswave titles?
That would be amazing. Can you imagine a physical port of Dolphin Blue on the Dreamcast? I'd kill for something like that.
@@SkyScourgeGod i imagine the most complicated task at this point is just getting the rights for them, assuming all the remaining titles also function properly with the current methods the available games run on.
@@mr.vidjagamez9896 Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't thik that would be much of an issue for older consoles that aren't supported anymore. If it was for newer ones like the Switch, Xbox One or PS4 then yeah I can see that being an issue. But for discontinued consoles that their parent companies don't care about anymore, I doubt they would care if they ported those games to them. PCE Works does that with the PC Engine for rare and expensive CD titles. Sometimes they even have translations. Again, I may be wrong so feel free to correct me.
Unfortunately only games not requiring DMA channel work somewhat decently when burnt into a disc (and still have stuttering and loading issues). This is the main reason why only 3 out of all the 8 games already converted have CDI versions available.
The original Atomiswave hardware is cartridge based, so in order to get them to work properly on a real Dreamcast you're better off loading them via ODE (Like GDemu, USB-GDROM or TerraOnion M.O.D.E.)
@@RetrOrigin That sheds quite a bit of light on the subject of a disc version. Though disappointing, I can't imagine how hard it would be to convert the game to a proper working CD. I'll probably just have to get another Dreamcast to mod with a GDemu, I want to keep my main Dreamcast stock because I collect and play a good number of physical games. The other option would be to make a good multicart for the Atomiswave, many of its best titles are really rare and expensive but the hardware isn't too bad if you hook it up to a decent Super Gun.
you didnt talk about dolphin blue haha, I LOVE that game fell in love with it at my local arcade which is famous in the states. Its called "Galloping Ghosts", they have a Japanese cabinet of that game as well as many other Japanese exclusive cabinets there. Highly recommend people check it out if they are in that area.
I love your content 👌. Happy New Year to you and the fam 🍾🥂
Thank you.
Cool to see that someone cracked the code. It’ll be interesting to see what homebrew games people are able to develop for a system like this. Lots of potential!
For distributing on CD/GD, there'd be no difference with what you can do with DC homebrew. The DMA capabilities for quickly loading data in the background for ODE-exclusive games would add minorly-advanced extra capabilities. Like the difference between games running directly from CDROM on a PC vs being installed to a HD.
I wonder if the same guy got these to run on Naomi also.
Thank you whoever you are!
Didn't know about this new development, very interesting!
I still have my dreamcast in the living room today. 😉 plug on TV and ready for super good nostalgia gaming hour's.
Wow!! This is incredible!! Great episode!! I wonder if it's possible to put these games to a disc format...
Thx. Good news with sega Dreamcast fans
Hope some modder can find a way to restore the multiplayer functionality of Faster than Speed. If not through the stock modem then maybe the BBA or Taisen cable.
Dreamcast was pretty good back in it's time. I still got mines!
I never actually realized (or clearly understood) Atomiswave was essentially Sammy/Sega simply reusing Naomi from the Dreamcast to make new arcade games.
The fact they found a way to make it backwards compatible which shouldn't have been that hard I guess is both amazing and fantastic.
To know that the Dreamcast lives on and lived on long after the demise of it's actual console makes me so happy and at the same time sad. What a golden age it could have been had things gone slightly better for the poor old Dreamcast. Sure the PS2 got ports but it's just not the same.
No, it abandoned all the advances of NAOMI and NAOMI 2, and just used the vanilla DC architecture mated with a flash cartridge and DMA.
@@RetroDawn
Yeah I guess I should have suspected something cheap and dirty. Not that surprised but still I'm glad that at least it was used for something as opposed to just being tossed aside. The Dreamcast deserved better and at least it lived on in some capacity, at least for a little while anyway.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I agree. I've never looked into it, but I can see how the extra RAM of the NAOMI just wasn't beneficial for 2D games, when they had large flash storage with DMA. Still, that amount of RAM was damn cheap 5 years later, when Atomiswave was released, and they had to develop this new system and dev system (including tools). Sure, it was minor differences made to the DC and DC dev kits, but there's still engineering and development costs that need to be offset by the marginally lower hardware costs compared to NAOMI.
KoF XI is the best SNK game I’ve played but I prefer the PS2 version thanks to the extra content.
Faster Than Speed looks fun, I want to try that one.
These games run great on the Retropi 4. Neogeo Battle Coliseum, KOF XI, and Samurai Showdown VI we’re all released on the PS2; as well as Metal Slug 6 on the Metal Slug Anthology
New Sega Dreamcast games! Yeah! That’s all I need to hear. Time to start burning some discs.
That's pretty cool man, new playable dreamcast titles in 2020
Thank you soo much.
Now if the mod community can get a light gun to work on LCD. I would buy that for sure.
Theres already a light gun for house of the dead 2, virtua cop 2, Death Crimson ox 1 and 2 and confidential mission.
if i am not mistaken tekno parrot has in fact done that
Are you talking about a light gun on flatscreen TVs? You'll never have a perfect option.
Look up Sinden Lightgun
@@Gramps99 Yeah I think Sinden is the best that can be done on flatscreen. The worst part about it is that it puts a white boarder around the edges of the screen, which really bothers me.
Some of these lost arcade games still never saw any official home consoles release of any generation.
In regards to multiplayer on the car game, could it be possible to system link dreamcast consoles together.
I'm getting all of these!!!!
how do it get them to work on reddream for Android? plz help me!!! 🤕😢
I had Dolphin Blue on my Net City cab but sold my Atomiswave for a NAOMI 2 Net DIMM. Its one of those games I now regret selling. Can't wait to play it again.
How do i go about burning it to disk as they are all in GDI format. I'm used to CDI
Christmas came early ❤️❤️❤️
Dreamcast, still thinking
Hey, could we have an episode about some of your favourite homebrew games (original games or major improvements to existing games)? That'd be rad!
It’s crazy how many of these games I owned on PS2 and Xbox(and even on Wii) back when they were first released. To think that ports to these games could have been made easily for Dreamcast way back then makes you wonder how much of the console’s potential was never seen.
Sony did such a great job working with developers and offering their customers a great experience with the original PlayStation that just the thought of the PlayStation 2 was enough to keep a lot of gamers from even considering giving Dreamcast a chance. Had SoJ of and SoA worked together in 93 and 94, things might have been different for Sega. Guess we’ll never know.
Very nice! 👍
Dolphin Blue was a nice, colorful run & gun inspired by Metal Slug
Ports didn’t work on redream, but work like a charm on demul.
I want dolphin blue. That would be awesome. Nice video
So ah, how does one get there Dreamcast modded with the SD card reader and such?
This is fucking awesome. I never heard of the system and some of these games.
Nice video btw, any plans on doing a part 2? I would love to hear your opinion on the recently released dolphin blue conversion
