nice article indeed - but ChuChu the first online game? Come on, there were several netlink games for the Saturn and there even was a strategy game for the Genesis in Japan that used a modem (Advanced Military Commander or something like this) to let people play together. The Dreamcast was the...

The R360 had a modified version of G-Loc running as far as I remember, although there was an upgrade set for it to run Wing Wars. (there´s a great R360-site somewhere on the Web) Concerning AfterBurner, there was some kind of a 3D remake for the Saturn and it was also recently released in a...

woopsie, couldn´t find anything about that on the news sites and in the magazines I regularly read - should switch to some more techie pages I think. Still, I´m eager to see if/what will emerge on the desktop market or the console market respectively. :cool:

A lot of people over here in Germany thought that the PowerVR designs where dead for good and that the rest of the company would probably never ever produce anything more meaningful than the Bitboys currently do. But this announcement may change things a little, I just hope that if they release...

According to Golem.de , a german news site, new PowerVR chips that everyone thought were shelved are indeed approaching the market and can be used "in Arcades, PCs and game consoles". It seems like Sega already licensed the products for use in future arcade cabinets and is thinking about using...

What will be the Dreamcast's rare gems? strange that noone ever mentioned the "for matching Services"-titles from Capcom here: Vampire Chronicles and Street Fighter 2X - both were just available via Capcom online shops and in limited amounts if I remember correctly. Have seen lots of fakes on...

SAGA seems to be rare, AZEL obviously isn´t. Already got 2 of those off ebay pretty cheap (around 25Euros each), both shrinkwrapped and with all goodies, spince card, bonus flyer etc... they really were new! Sadly, I sold both because my knowledge of the japanese language is nonexistant, one...

possibly not, or only with a color shift. But maybe the video chip on the sat can produce a native component signal, so maybe - just maybe - you could get it directly off the chip

I was under the impression that Slave Zero was using Bump mapping, but i could be thinking of the PC version. It´s not EMBM though, no environment mapping on this one.

one thing again about the DC graphics chip: PowerVR chips don´t really care how many polygons are overlapping in a given scene since the way they render it they will only render what´s visible as opposed to nearly every other approach on the market. This method is called "tile based...

I am slowly getting confused about the number of power supplys used in Saturns. So far I´ve seen 3 different ones, one US and two EUR from model 1 and 2 (the us was a 2). The us was quite a bit shorter and the connector was mover forward a lot on the MB which prevented me from using a PAL psu...

The laser actually seems to "pop up" a little during reading. If you want to scratch your lens go ahead, but you´ve been warned.

I agree, www.bootdisk.de should be the solution for (almost) all of your installation needs... unfortunately even though the site resides in Germany they only have an english Win98 bootdisk - which means that I can install my Win98 with it but I can´t update it online since it downloads the...

I just fired up my trusty PAL version of REZ on my PAL console and nope, no slowdown whatsoever. At least nothing I could notice. The models do not continue to move during some blur sequences, but that´s no slowdown, the whole game movement is halted, only the blurring of the screen...

Actually there are VGA adaptors for the PS2, but they just change the RGB signal to VGA frequencies. The Dreamcasts native VGA output looks better imho. Oh, and I noticed that the sound effects seemed a lot richer on the DC than on the PS2. I kept my roommate up all night playing the game, the...

there´s a program called Satconv I think which can change the country code of a CD image. Just extract the images, patch them four your country and burn them back. I hope you have a modchip, otherwise happy swapping, but at least it will work.

Interesting. The latest information I got was that the PC-Trap was a little extra board similar to a modboard which could just be pulled out and replaced by a modboard and everything would work flawlessly. At least that´s what was stated in the instructions I got with my pass-through mod a few...

with both versions I meant PSX and Sat, there were only several releases of DOA2 for DC and for PS2. 3 for DC if I remember correctly, 2 for PS2 (the second one greatly improved and named DOA2:Hardcore).

Soul Calibur Deadly Skies Vampire Chronicles DOA2SE S.F.Rush2049 This is the top5, mind you. REZ was a close follow up, as was Phantasy Star Online, but these games are really those I played the most (PSO doesn´t count time-wise, sometimes I have a PSO-phase for a month or so but I´m...

@Berty: You probably have never heard of PAL60, have you? 60hz is now a common option for PAL games, along with the higher resolution (720x576 for PAL, 720x480 for NTSC) this makes exactly WHAT the better format?... Back on topic: Have played both versions, it´s a matter of taste, period. Like...
