Ok im new and i need some help

[gamerjr]

Ok... well im not having any luck with anything but the boot disc, i want to burn sonic adventure 2, I can see that it is 2 sessions so i use mode 2 right? then i goto block 2336 and TOC: CD-XA and none of the things you said need to be disabled were check.

Edit: nvm it was just luck that the first disc was bad.. Ikaruga is working fine now off to do some massive downloads.

Haha see there! Welcome to the Dreamcast scene! Enjoy the most underrated and inovative console ever!

Well as my games download im am getting my ass kicked at ikaruga, sometimes making it through the 1st chapter w/o using a coninue sometimes not, working on getting pass 2nd chapter now. Normally i only play on the hardest settings but this is the one game where you need to practice a lot on easier difficulties.

I would also suggest Zero Gunner 2, my favorite Shmup, and then Border down, both really great looking shooters, and Zero gunner has a unique controll scheme where you can rotate the chopper in any direction, and straife the screen facing any direction.

I really get lots of enjoyment out of its gameplay.

Also, always get the DCRes versions from Tuxthewise, as your GDrom reader will be very quiet. He optomizes the folder structer on the discs so they play and load smoother.

Good Job (Not To Sound Sarcastic) Yeah You Should Also Try And Get Last Hope:Pink Bullets If You Like Classic Arcade Style Shmups.

Ok well im having some problems again, though im pretty sure you can answer this. I got Marvel vs capcom 2 (metal mix), and there isnt any files to extract or burn. What do i do? there is a sfv file. and a par2 file. (i hate asking these kind of questions because it sounds like common knowledge to someone as computer savvy as me)

[Anthony817]

A part 2 file you mean? Well, I am sure you already know you need all parts in a single folder, and then you open the files. Sorry, not saying you are dumb, but I am pretty sure you already knew this, but just making sure.

Lets see here... Try this version, its a Power metal mix, so you might like it, and good news, its a single link.

[gamerjr]
