you only see what the developers of DreamMovie have allowed to see :)

*thanks to ian for info about gyplay using this wince video player
the real executable file is hidden, the funny thing is that it is writed on the KATANA SDK, and all the WINCE files are for a diversion :lol:

:?: @megavolt85, Can your Maple adapter be made into the I/R receiver? It would be a good semester project for a college engineering student.

If you don’t mind the fact that you can’t pause, I’d really really recommend just doing SFD Player. You can play video at VCD quality or at over 3x the standard VCD bitrate. It’s the only worthwhile way IMO to watch any video on a Dreamcast.

(Tutorial can use modern Windows or Wine).

I read your article a few days ago and thought it was excellent. I wish more people would publish their findings in such a well written way. In this case, however, the OP has a stack of commercial VCD's that he just wants to play without doing any converting or CDR burning. :)

Thanks for looking into this! Does that mean it's not possible to remove the checks?
