Best homebrew Dreamcast games?

Post by brockmoreno »

I finally got a dreamcast that will play burned games. Can some one tell me some of the best homebrew games out there besides all the BOR games. Also a good site to get them. Thanks.

dcisozone.com is great for homebrew titles. If your looking into buying actual copies of said games though, then you'll want to peruse google for various developers.

The really good titles are any of the homebrew shmups, and some really good Beats of Rage mods. The Battletoads mod of BOR is absolutely amazing, as is the Guardian Heroes mod. Its a basically a direct port of Gaurdian Heroes for Sega Saturn, but with the BOR engine. Very fantastic game.

Ports of games like DOOM and Duke Nukem are also worth your time and blank CD-R's for sure. The DOOM port I've been playing has spot on controls and analog control.

I have Battletoads, but have not seen a Guardian Heroes BOR mod. I'll google it later, but do you have a link?

Do you need anything beyond a blank CD and system to play homebrew?

Final Fight Apocalypse - 2nd Edition is the best OpenBOR mod I've put on the Dreamcast. Anything made by Mr.Q is great.

There are different programs to use to burn dreamcast games, The popular ones are Alcohol 120 and Diskjuggler.

LINK FOR YOU! http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... iscjuggler

Personally I prefer Diskjuggler cause whenever I use alcohol 120, I get shiny new coasters!

The trial version of discjugger is fine to use, you dont really have to buy the whole program.

When you download dreamcast files from the internet, CDI files are what work best with Diskjuggler. Unzip the game and burn at a slow speed.

If you're still having trouble, you can youtube this topic as well and see some vids.

Yes thanks, but I already know how to burn these games. My question was, if there was any program I would need to get homebrew functioning such as an emulator or can I just burn the homebrew games like I would a normal copy?

No, you don't need to do anything special. Just burn the images and play.
