Retro-Sonic News: Dreamcast Test Released!

Ok this is just awesome. Glad the project isn't dead.
I read that you made the retro sonic engine flexible, so can we expect/hope a psp port? :blushing:

 

call it blasphemy, but I never heard of Retro-Sonic until a few weeks back. Never got a chance to play it either, so I'll hold my comments until then. I don't wanna spout inexperienced shit.

Although... a C++ port to Dreamcast. sounds fuckin' impossible, but sounds so right.

 

DS port plz kthx.

 

Oh my god it's better then sex!

 

Yes! Finally, we are seeing updates to this fantastic fangame. Thank you so much for still giving a rats ass about it, because I think I speak for all of us when I say "Fuck yes".

Also, Dreamcast port makes Shade a very happy man.

 

WINS.

I seriously never paid attention to this, and it looks awesome. And a Dreamcast port? Well, anything to make my Dreamcast not stay dormant...

 

Only 1 thing to say here:

<3

 

Awesome downloading right now :D

 

Am I supposed to extract the RAR first? Am I supposed to actually use the Nero burning rom? If so, what am I supposed to do?

 

Okay, after actually doing some research, (and wasting four CD-Rs x_x) I've got a new problem. I just burn the file in nero, the way Nero wants to, since it's a Nero file. But it doesn't work in the DC. What am I supposed to do to make it work?

Theory: The CD-R I'm using is 1-16x compatable. Am I supposed to use something else?

EDIT: This was meant to be an edit, not a reply.

 

Right, it would seem a good deal of us, me included, are having trouble with this DC business. It wouldnt record succesfully when I ran it through Alcohol 120%, and Fiz seems to be having trouble as well.

 

You either have to use Nero 5.x (not 6.x) or Alcohol 120% (maybe not, seeing Shade's post and the fact a Puyo Puyo 4 NRG wouldn't burn properly in Alcohol) for it to burn correctly.

The Taxman, can you give us a CDI image, that way it will work with Alcohol?

 

I'm having the same problem as well. I pop it into the DC and it tells me to wait while the CD is being checked, then it goes to the main menu and I click play and it tells me to insert a disc.

I'm using Nero Express V. 6.6.5 :\

 

I'll test it with Nero 5.x, and tell you if it works.

 

Ok, my friend has burned the Nero image with Nero 6 and it's working perfectly!~ This is a very professional release, the graphics for loading and pause are even pro looking. I'm going to take some pics.

For those who are still trying to figure it out, we just did the simple way. Opened the nrg, left everything default, and burned. It's on a standard Phillips CD-R, and the DC itself is a first gen Japanese console.

My impressions of the game so far: Very polished and professional. Some of the game mechanics aren't implemnted yet, but this is certainly the same level of quality as Sonic Team's betas. I like how debug mode is enabled

 

Works with Nero 5.x. Make sure you are burning it at most 8x speed, otherwise your DC might not play it.

 

Bleh. I'm done trying. I've wasted 4 CD-Rs so I'm done. =\ Can't get it to work.

 

Shit. I'm using Nero 8.x

That might be the problem. Too bad I'm out of CD-Rs :|
