Just found out dozens of old iomega zip drives I used to backup stuff back then
Let's see if this is still working, probably need to setup an old OS...
Hi there @Cesarm , i just wanted to say welcome and also give you a big thanks for helping out with digging up old information about the game.
May i ask what part in the game development you had ? Im sorry if i missed it earlier in this thread.

Then later I was told - I don't recall from where - that lightgun support was misconstrued or an urban myth of some kind. I guess we'll find out now with this discovery (look like it actually is a part of the game thanks to the discoveries in this thread)
Got a quick question if you don't mind Tom? We were speaking about some of those other unreleased games you played around 2015 over at the thread I made about these findings over at Obscure Gamers. Wasn't one or 2 of them planned to be shared with you? I think I remember that cart racer game was one that was going to be dumped and sent to you to share to the community? Was the same person going to share that earlier Take The Bullet build, or was that different? I see you were in contact with the creator of the studio according to your posts in this thread. But was that the same person who let you play the game or was that not the same?
If not, sounds like you got in contact with the developer after the article you made? But I was confused if the guy who let you play the game was going to dump the iso or if that was a separate agreement you guys made? Or am I incorrectly remembering?
Please @Cesarm tell us about "take the bullet", what's the story of the game ?
Why it's never released unfortunately ?
Which step of development the game was stopped ?
I'm very late to the party here but just wanted to say thanks to all involved in this!
And @Cesarm Nice to meet you - with regards to the controller port problem its most likely the little blue resistor on the controller port board (its blue and sits in front of the ribbon cable connector) just use a pair of plyers to twist it so the bottom legs touch (effectively bypassing it) and it should work lol. (done this on one of my own Dreamcasts).

Nooo! Don't do this! It's there for a reason. By doing this you're risking damage to your controller. The best thing to do is replace it with a 72v 400mA resettable fuse. If it blows, it can be reset by just powering off the Dreamcast for a few seconds.
