Your facts are wrong because they are. Let's just put it that way. I've got just about every emulator running. There are certainly more than 8 retail games already available at the FTP i the sticky as well. Your assumption that you had all the info was wrong. Why would I lie to you about this?

Цитата:You cant understand if my gd-rom broke how sd card could be helpful...really? Obviously if gd broke my dc would NOT run games without sd.

I don't remember indicating that I couldn't understand why a SD card would be helpful to someone with a broken dreamcast. In fact, I'm that kind of person. I have a dreamcast at home with a broken GD-Rom... This is my reason for even messing with the SD card in the first place, so of course I understand how it could help. That's my whole reason for being here. So I'm not sure how you got the impression that I didn't understand that concept. You would need to install a piggy-backed BIOS chip though to get a DC booting from the SD card with no working gd-rom drive. And I''ve read that the current version of sdiso (the program used to launch iso'ed games from dreamshell) doesn't work correctly when you've booted dreamshell from a modified bios instead of the gd-rom drive, but I have no experience with this. Apparently, that's an issue that is being worked on.

Цитата:Stop telling me to calm down, im calm.

Did I do that? Don't' remember doing that. But expressing one-self with the caps lock on is indicating that one has lost there cool, or is no longer calm, so I would have been within my rights to assume you were getting agitated by using caps.

Цитата:Thank you for answering dos question respectfully though. However,

Respectful questions get respectful answers.

Цитата:This is a prick statement :

"Many of them are clearly assumptions made by a person who has no experience using the SDcard, and doesn't clearly understand it's purpose. People have tried to explain it to you but you won't relent in your inaccurate preconceptions of the device and what it's intended use is."

It's also accurate...

Цитата:I know its a sd card ada, people play some commercial games on it ,it can fit in your pocket instead carrying scratching your gd rom games. It runs some emus like nesternes. Theres 4 versions of adapters controller plug, 3 serial back dc adapters. But does the 32gb card work yet?

Yes.

Цитата:If so what brand card should i get with that adapter?

Whatever brand supports SPI mode. Probably any brand will work.

Цитата:Im not being negative towards sd at all, i clrealy said i have nothing against it and im interested in it, im just telling it how it is from how the pinned thread was before it was edited.

'Saying' you have nothing against something is quite different than actually conducting yourself in that manner. Actions speak louder than words and you continue to claim you have nothing against the SD card adapter in the same threads that you list faults, and mock it for not being able to do certain things it was never supposed to do in the first place.

Цитата:If others online come here i dont want them thinking it can run/fit all best dc gd games, emus, homebrews, etc all on 1 32gb card PERFECTLY WITH NO SOUND ERRORS ETC.

Why in the world would they think that if they came here? There is no indication that that is possible, in fact if you read even a little, you already know that's not possible. I've never seen that advertised as SD card capabilities anywhere, so I don't understand where someone would get that impression.

Цитата:Dont degrade me because theres discjuggler alc120 nero burn questions with dreamshell, im awaiting the newer version, i just hope it has clear instructions.

You degrade yourself. I've not seen any burn issues mentioned anywhere and the instructions that came with the download from this very site were plenty clear.

Цитата:Another prick statement :
"Actually you have been very negative about it's ability to run commercial games (something it was never intended to do in the first place.) I seem to recall you posting "It only runs 2 commercial games and won't run home-brew". These are certainly -NOT- facts. in this very post I am quoting you are about to mock the cards 'abilities' as you understand (though incorrectly) them in a very condescending way. If that's not being 'negative' then I guess the dictionary is wrong."

Im telling it how it is, from pinned thread on this site, i want to get a sd card, but after reading that thread i see no point right now. Obviously im new to this, so instead of being a prick how about just trying to help like Anthony does respectfully with me.

See that's the problem though.. You're 'telling it like it is' to someone that knows from personal experience that what you are saying is not 'the way it is'. Then when I tell you that you are wrong, you continue (yet again) to insist that you know more than me because 'the sticky here says so'.

I don't have a problem helping you respectfully when questions are posed respectfully. It also couldn't hurt to start believing what people tell you, and not putting so much stock in a sticky thread that hasn't been updated in almost a month.

If you want to talk strictly about information from sticky threads why don't you check out the one that has the FTP link in it, you could easily see there are more than 8 commercial games already available.

Цитата:Ok where is this "1st_read.bin" in cd dc dl game file, im not great with computers so stop mocking me.

I never mocked you.

1st_read.bin is the default name of the main game file that runs on your DC. This is what dreamshell will look for on the iso you are trying to run. On some games it's called something else though... like 'thegame.bin'. When people talk about changing the name, this is what they mean. If the games executable is called 'mygame.bin' you need to change it to '1st_read.bin' for the current sdiso program to find it.

Цитата:Also whats best site to dl WORKING gd dc games?

Dcisozone.

But if you want ready prepared games you can just put on a SD card and go the nthe best place is the FTP site in the sticky thread right here.

Цитата:Actually theres like 5 threads where people were confused about how to burn dreamshell correctly.

I haven't noticed any. If you need specific help I would be happy to offer it.

Цитата:Thx answering emus questions respectfully as well. But thx for Anthony for giving me links, many others emu had errors when i searched on google so thx ant.

I've com across more emulators that work than ones that don't. The only I can think off the top of my head that I couldn't get working were dreamsnes (but superfamicast works and is just about as fast.. some games even run faster... sound doesn't work great though) Mame4all, and neogeopocket color emulator (whatever that's called). Every other emulator I've tried works. Genesis emulators all seem to work, nester works, atari 7800, atari 5200, atrai 2600, gamegear/sms works, scummvm works, gameboy emulators work, plenty of neogeo games already out there too. The amiga, amastrad, atari st, atari 800, MSX, dosbox... all worked. Even the way-too-slow-to-play N64 emulator ran (though of course, at the same slow speed).

Цитата:Also Dingo i see nothing wrong with a spoon fed tutorial on all this with links and instructions in future. If you wanna degrade me or insult me or make assumptions im not calm or say info i got info from pinned thread wrong, thats, fine, however im hoping you can answer a couple of question i asked you in this post respectfully. Thx

I don't have a problem with a spoon-fed tutorial either. There are already a couple that I would consider good enough to get people started. I was able to find all the information I needed though with minimal effort. I know that doesn't help you, but that's my perspective. The information is out there... it didn't just manifest itself in my head one morning.

My intention was not to degrade or insult you. I don't 'want' to do either. There is no purpose in it. I was responding to what looked like a poster who was getting frustrated and possibly angry just because they didn't understand something fully. Then I saw that same poster denying the reality of things they were being told by people that were attempting to offer assistance, claiming that the people that were offering him answers were 'getting emotional'. How is that not provocative on your part? Is that respectful? I don't think so. I spoke up on their behalf. I hope in the future you can come into a thread with a more respectful attitude, instead of being so negative and unreceptive to reality. I guarantee you you'll get better results.
