1. Stop being a poorfaggot
2. Go to ebay and buy it on DC or GC

Just because you can doesn't mean you should, poorfag-at-heart.

I can't find any ISOs that aren't Echelon, Hykan, or YZB.

>>3557307

The Echelon is a hack that won't work with saved games.

>>3555540

Woooo woooooo wooooo

This game was released october 5 2000. I believe the rules of the thread are only games prior to 2000.

You are not respecting /vr/ take it to /v/

What's wrong with you?

Bought this back in highschool for $15 from friend who was selling off his DC stuff. Great game and im glad I never lent it to Jerome or I might not have it still today

I hope you scream "Please no! She's just a kid!" as rapefugees drag away your wife.

If you're having a hard time finding a working ISO, consider the GameCube version, GC emulation is really good and the GC version polishes up the game a good bit.

This thread makes me miss the past.

I bought my Dreamcast in 2003 fin a second-hand store in PA. Came with Skies of Arcadia, Soul Calibur, PSO, Evolution, Time Stalkers, and Shenmue. I paid $30 for it.

I got a boxed copy of Super Mario RPG for $2 from the same place.

That time after moving out on my own after high school was the best. And that store played a large part. Got serious about collecting games, movies and music then. I still buy very little media new.

Anyways, OP, just buy it. It's not THAT expensive.

>>3555540
> I refuse to pay $70 for a game.

Good thing you werent alive in the 90s then.

>Not having a computer that can emulate everything you've ever wanted
Who's the poorfaggot?

>>3561964
Thank you for actually trying to help. I appreciate it.

Just the main thing was I already got pretty deep in this save and didn't want to lose the progress. But I'll keep looking if I got to.

>>3561979
I thought they were $60 back then too?

>>3561976
>It's not THAT expensive.

Literally can't find one in a case for less than $60-70, which is absurd. Loose discs for $30-50, sometimes for just one.

Semi-relatedly, I will literally pay someone to make a new rip, if for no other reason than to have a reliable file in the relative dearth of its availability.

>>3555540
Get a proper .GDI and emulate it you fool, or just download the gamecube version.

>>3562735
Final Fantasy games were $70. Hell, Phantasy Star IV was a whopping $99 when it came out.

>>3563404
I don't check prices for stuff I already have, but I saw that in the thread. I'm saying that price is not that high. If you can't afford thirty bucks, you need to find a cheaper hobby.

I really don't mean to sound mean, but that's a great value. You're getting around fifty hours of entertainment for less than a dollar a an hour if you just get discs.

I'd happily take you up on that but don't know how. Never ripped a game before. Is it harder than ripping a CD?

>>3563972
Do you have a DC SD adapter? If you do you can easily do it in dreamshell with their built in application.
If you do not, AFAIK you either need to dump over serial with a coder's cable or dump over the broadband adapter with the error prone(?) HTTPd method. These adapters are obtainable for approximately $20 from AliExoress or ebay.

Feel free to hit up the spreadsheet IRC if you're missed here. A good, working dump with a checksum would be a great addition.

>>3563842
I thought Dreamcast emulation was a shit?

>>3563972
$40 for one disc.

>>3563846
Star Fox was 2 fucking hundred dollars

>>3564931
I remember when it was $60 for a complete, mint condition package a few years ago and I didn't pick it up because I thought it was too expensive. Still kicking myself.

>>3564958
Sauce?

>>3563972
I too would like to help the spreadsheet and add free games. There is tutorial, no?

>>3564912
Didn't all Dreamcasts come with broadband adapter, or am I thinking of something else?

>>3565012
Dreamcast came with a 56k modem. The broadband adapter is a $100+ item on ebay that lets you more easily connect to the internet. This isn't too difficult now though with dreampi and the tiny community around dreamcast.online.

Other tutorials are google-able. Here's one for the broadband adapter, for example: http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/how-to-rip-gdi-files-using-bba.56555/

>>3555540
I got my Skies of Arcadia for $1 when I picked up my DC for $15 during a sale.
You buy a DC and get 3 games for a buck each.
Got that, Shenmue and Dynamite Cop.
Oh and it came with the see through red controller with a vmu.
If you're gonna be broke, at least do it right.

Found a PAL Skies of Arcadia GDI from TruRip along with other goodies..
