HOOOLY SHIT!
Wanna play the awesome shooter section of Segagaga? I FIGURED IT OUT!!!
(gameplay video, not mine)
What you'll need:
homebrew capable DC (manufactured ?on? or before October 2000)
working VMU (OK if batteries are dead)
computer with some version of Windows
CD burner
Padus Diskjuggler (trial version is fine, google it)
Dream Explorer: http://dcisozone.com/downloads/678/Dream-Explorer.html
and lastly: a copy of Segagaga (the website featuring Dream Explorer may have what you're looking for
, just make sure to get the .cdi version)How to do it:
Burn Dream Explorer by downloading/unrar-ing it and double clicking the .cdi file. Diskjuggler should open automatically (if not, install it dummy). Insert a disk, wait for Diskjuggler to recognize it, then click burn.
Plug in a VMU with at least 15 blocks of free memory into your DC controller and put Dream Explorer into your DC. Follow the fairly self-explanatory OS and copy the Segagaga file that says "all mini-games completed" or something to that effect. I just went into the first folder (Blue Swirl I believe) in the VMU section and they had it.
After you successfully copied the save and checked to make sure it's there in the Dreamcast Bios, insert Segagaga and boot it up.
I don't know how to boot it with a real version of Segagaga as I did it via CD-R backup, but with the CD-R it should just boot right up.
Hit start until you get to the main menu (right after the title screen). Scroll down to the last option on the main menu and hit "A". This will bring you to a memory card screen. There should only be one save, mine says "GO!" and then has some japanese gibberish after it, hit "A" twice.
Now you are at the mini-game menu.
DTTT is a puzzle game where you kick Dreamcast boxes to load them on the truck. It's pretty fun to be honest. If you mess up, hit "Y" and hit "A" on the first option and hit left and hit "A" again to reset the level. The second option in the "Y" menu will bring you back to the title screen.
GKKK is a button mashing game where you clean Sega arcades by using the d-pad to move in front of them and then wipe them clean with "A" and "B". It's probably the weakest of the mini-games, but also probably the funniest that they included it.
Now the game you've been waiting for...
"R-720 with S" is the horizontal space shooter featuring all of your favorite Sega systems as bosses. Amazingly, all of the menus in this game are in English, so you should have no problem figuring everything out. The only non-self explanatory part is the normal game vs. special stage. From what I can tell, the normal game is mostly a boss-rush of the Sega systems whereas the special stage seems to be a more drawn out game with longer levels between bosses. Either way, it's fucking jawsum.
Any additional questions, let me know and I'll add it to this post
