Don't get too excited. It was an MVS multi-cab at D-Pad in New Braunfels but it wasn't the actual MVS cart. It was one of those 100's of games in one carts.

Still, at .25 a play I couldn't complain too much.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves has always suffered from sound lag on the Dreamcast. The only way to fix this is to download the version that was fixed by TuxTheWise.

Thanks for pointing that out!
I believe it has to do with the sounds being read from cd during gameplay.

Wow! That must be very hard on the GDrom drive.

Damn, forgot about this thread.

I got the JP Dreamcast version of MotW. No sound lag that I can tell. The drive doesn't go as nuts as it does while playing the US version. General loading times are slightly quicker, as well.

The "D-Pad".....what is your opinion on the place? I couldn't find too much information on the web about it. It does have a MySpace page with photos that make it seem like predominantly a hang-out for teenagers.

I hate it. The merchandise is dirty, the employees don't do anything to dissuade kids from hanging out and making browsing a pain in the ass. Most everything I've bought there ended up being returned.

Also, they are terribly over priced. They have, for instance, a copy of Tactics Ogre for the GBA priced at $53 ... wtf!? That's either sloppy price research or incompetence.

Avoid.

After a 5 hour non-stop MotW session with my friends my GD-rom drive died. I got a new DC and I won't be playing MotW until I get Tux's version.

Odd. I played for a good 2 hours the other night and my DC is still plenty happy *knocks on wood*. I played the very same disc for about 4 hours the day it arrived in the mail. We played on a black sports DC with a failing GD-Rom drive at Thanksgaming and it never skipped a beat.

Again, this is the Japanese version. I have never witnessed any sound lag with this import version and the only disc access I can hear is at the end of the round when the system begins loading in the win/loose screen along with the next fight.

Black ex-sports DC, sir.

Coincidentally, ever since we played on that DC this weekend I've had no problems with it. Garou does miracles.
