DC-X in VGA mode?

Post by **MJW** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 4:48 pm

I know the DC-X boot disc can load games IN vga mode, but is there a way to boot the disc on a monitor (so you see the DC-X directions/options on screen)?

Me neither, but I know that most DC releases are VGA compatible or VGA patched

I'm trying to boot an actual retail copy of the PAL Shenmue 2 on my US system. It seems that only disc one won't boot with everything, 2-4 are fine (used DC-X, Gameshark, CDX, Utopia). I managed yesterday to get disc 1 to boot on my TV with the DC-X bootdisc, however I still can't get it going on VGA.

Strangely enough though, the DC-X will only load the game on ONE of my TVs (a newer HD). I'm thinking the PAL>NTSC conversion it does is fairly dodgey, and the newer TV can handle it or something...........

Well, I used Gameshark CDX to boot my retail Shenmue 2 in VGA. Dunno what else to tell ya.

Yeah, it sort of weirds me out that only discs 2-4 will boot easily. I think I might just play through disc one via the ripped version, then switch to the real discs from disc two onward.

your disk could be damaged.

I'm going to look into that soon by borrowing a friends Dreamcast (if it loads perfectly on him, its just my Dreamcast being a jerk).
