Yeah if you want to look more into it, check out http://www.dcemulation.com for the files you need. Instructions and everything, totally awesome site. Unfortunately, due to Video RAM and other limitations, not all the emulators support sound or full speed yet. However, NesterDC, (the NES emu) is absolutely amazing. I love my Dreamcast, I bought it for $30 ^_^

Thanks mate!. I've bookmarked that one . Really neat stuff. I've also just check after a second hand Dreamcast here and peoples are asking too much for one. One is selling it for 100 USD and six games the other one for 65 and Virtua Fighter... looks like I will have to wait a little bit . Me wants Dreamcast...
I think that would be the only console that I never had, and PS2... the rest I have/had them all: Atari 2600, Nintendo, MasterSystem, MegaDrive/Genisis, SuperNES, SegaCD, Sega32X, PSX, Nintendo64, NeoGeoCD, NeoGeo, GameCube and Xbox. Should really be fun to have a Dreamcast though. The only ones I've sold were GameCube, SegaCD, MasterSystem, NeoGeo and CD and Atari. God, I miss my atari, that joystick was just great for certain games . Best joypad ever was Sega's official 6 buttons, to compete with Super Nintendo's joypad, since some fighting games were, finally, comming for Sega (Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter). Oh man, I hate flashbacks, they always bring me to tears... :'(. LOL.

DAMN! You had a NeoGeo? Man that owns. But I'm surprised you never had a DC. Sooo many good games for it, too bad it had an early death (I blame it on Shenmue :P) I got my DC at a pawn shop, all the ones on eBay seem to be packaged with a bunch of really bad games (18 Wheeler anyone?) so they jack up the price. Good luck in your search though, the DC is a emulation/homebrew gold mine.

NeoGeo was really, really great. But the cartridges was something I could never buy, barely rent. I had one though, Fatal Fury 2 (cool opening: "Again, the legendary men, return..." lol. Then I sold it and got a NeoGeoCD. It's great, but the loading time made me want to put my hands through my eyes, through my brains and shake a little bit inside . ghehe. I never had problems selling consoles, but my NeoGeoCD was stolen with 9 games.. I've got an stolen check from a damn little dwarf man... bastard. I never sell anything through newspapers anymore. I switch the old stuff in some stores around .
Do you know if the Resident Evil 2 and 3 for Dreamcast are identical to the ones on PSone? Man, I loved Resident Evil. Capcom and Konami are so good making games

I'm almost 95% sure they are identical. The only thing they might have changed are item placement, although I doubt it. If you like Resident Evil, try out Code Veronica, that's a fun one, it's no 3 though (that was my favorite, the Nemesis never let up).

ghehe. Nemesis was really cool. That guy always scared me. "Stars", "Stars"...ghehe. Hey, we should make a Linux emulation page GT_Onizuka!. It has been a long time since I last had such a cool talk about games with someone. You know, all my school friends has grown up. Only I am still a little boy, married with a 2 years old son

I'm ALL for it. I love taking random screenshots of games and playing old games on my computer & Dreamcast. Makes me happy! I'm still having problems with XMAME though, but I haven't gotten around to fixing it. Too busy with other things >_<. But that would be fun, I'd love to pitch in

In the name of reviving this long dead thread. Have you guys tried GNGEO?? I have recently installed it and it rocks for playing neo-geo games.

Megaman, I think youll like this (if you didnt know about it already):
http://gc-linux.org
Its a project to get Linux running on a GameCube. Theyve already made a kernel that boots successfully, a web browser, and they even got MPlayer in there. Cant wait until it gets really usable!

@ LavaDevil94:

Hey mate!. Thanks a lot for the link. I really did not know that Linux was being ported to GameCube. Considering the price the gamecube is compared to Xbox or PS2(it's actually cheaper to buy a GameCube then ask a company/specialist to modify the Xbox here), it certainly is a great investment. Linux is fantastic, it runs in practically ever architecture I've seem... as Capcom games says when you do a chain combo: "Unstoppable"... lol.

@ jimdaworm:

I've never tried that emulator, but I will give it a try, since, for some strange reason, I cannot get Mame to play NeoGEO games :S. And yeah, I've the bios and everything perfectly configured, but the game won't run . (it does on Win32 Mame though ) Garou - Mark of the Wolves is one of my favorite games ever made for NeoGEO, amazing from animation to controls and music .

Just adding some stuff to this thread: I've found some good emulators in rpm's packages in here:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat.../idg/Emulators

They are most Mandrake/Suse/Redhat rpm's, but I think GT_Onizuka(?) reported in another thread to successfully convert them into slackware packages using rpm2tgz. Certainly worthy a shot for those who cannot compile emulators as Zsnes

Cheers guys!
