According to that list, Soul Calibur needs to be patched. Is that accurate? I always thought it was 480p native.
I have both a legit and burned copy though. I may be confusing things.
It should from what others have said.

I've definitely played Soul Calibur on my VGA box.

Soul Calibur was my first DC game I played in VGA. Transcendental experience!

Is there a way to check? I bought mine pre-owned so I don't even know what year the disc was produced.
Patch would mean it is a bootleg if I'm not mistaken.

Mine's definitely a legit pressed retail GD-ROM

Yeah, having to patch a game to have it run on a VGA connection doesn't sound right. Especially for an old game.
Cool. I could have sworn SC was 480p from the start.
I'll confirm when my replacement cable gets here.

I guess mine was probably the PAL version because it would boot up to a 60hz/50hz selector, with 50hz turned on by default.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Dreamcast is 18 years old now.
Honestly, it's starting to serve less as a reminder of how old that system is, and more as a startling realization of how old I am.

It helps but you can beat the game just fine without it. There's only a few fights that are really tough but can be overcome by player skill.

Anyone interested in this upcoming Beat figure?
http://news.toyark.com/2017/09/20/jet-set-radio-beat-figure-union-creative-271012
I'm passing on it. If it were Gum, Mew/Rhyth, or Tab/Corn, I'd bite tho.

It does but you shouldn't hit it unless you're trying to.

Give me a Gum figure

Junior, please.
Don't really do figures - it is nice though for those who are into it.

So...uhhhh...anything I can do to fix this VMU error?
KDash31987
Member
I get nothing but the option to delete everything or cancel. 
Either way, I don't have much free space on any other VMU.
I can't remember for sure what was on this VMU besides NBA 2K2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3.

Can't you connect two VMUs and transfer some saves?

Like...to each other? I'd have to get some batteries first. I do have a big pack of them, so that wouldn't be a problem.
But that VMU was mostly, if not completely, full, I think. The most I have free on any other is 35 blocks. Then 12, 11, and the rest are full or only have 1 free block. I might need to get a new one to save everything.

Yeah, I'm scared to try it with one of my other VMUs. I might order another one of these days. I should also order new PlayStation 1/2 and N64 memory cards, too.

Picked up a copy of Skies of Arcadia this week. I hadn't played the original at all before, and the last time I played through it was when the Gamecube remake came out.
Such a charming world to revisit. Doubt I'll go all the way back through, but I'm having a lot more fun than I thought I ever would on a replay of a long JRPG.

Reminds me that my Toro seems to output a darker image than you'd expect. Suppose I should double-check if it's the SCART cable or not, but yeah, the boot-up screen is a dark gray instead of bright white.
Lol... I just emailed Behar Bros. after posting this and they said it was mailed out a while ago.
Then I got an email from my building a few hours later saying there was a delivery at the front desk. And yea, it's from Turkey.
Crazy timing/coincidence. I posted here about this at 10:36am, and it got delivered at 1:25pm. I'm finally going to see DC in 480p on my PVM!

That is most likely my final post here. I fucking loved NeoGAF for the 7 years I was here. I loved the communities, but now is the time to leave.
I deleted all my work here, saved everything and will transfer at the new place.
For those of you who stay, I wish you a nice continuation.

Hi! I've just bought a PAL dreamcast with
- Soul Calibur
- WWF Royal Rumble
- 1 VMU
- Modem Adapter
- Browser Disk Dreamkey 3.0
for 100 and I was looking for some advice like the must have games, the best gamepad to buy (original or not) and how I could use now the modem adapter XD

The modem adapter for PAL/NTSC-U consoles was only 56k afaik, only NTSC-J (japanese consoles) had the ADSL ones. I don't know if you can obtain a valid connection from an ISP (years ago was still possible).
Must have game? Marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2, Dead or Alive 2, Shenmue I and II, Resident Evil Code Veronica... and Pyschic Force 2012. As a good start.
There are TONS of cool games, especially if you use the RegionFree CDrom in order to play japanese games (you can burn it yourself, google about it).

Well said Seik. Most of retro GAF is on www.RetroGameBoards.com (RGB for short) for retro posts and reset era for modern gaming. RGB has open registration and everyone is invited join us.
Oh, ok =/
I know some European and USA cool games but the Japanese line up is totally unknown for me. Advices are absolutely welcome!
I have just bought from Amazon Metropolis Street Racing, it will arrive in few days!
