There is no PVR for the menu, at least none which would be directly accessible. There is one for its backdrop though.
And concerning the 15 minutes thing: are you sure about the possible workaround? I remember that I have tested the DL emulator with "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" - an external ROM that is - and it didn't work. Got a screen that told me something in Japanese and then sent me back to the menu after that amount of gameplay.

bump.
drez01, what all did you try to get pcemu.bin to work?
some1 pls disassemble the damn pc engine emulator.
it has already been done by some1. but, they're not willing to share.
it would be better to release it to the public and not gatekeep.

Re: Dream Library (Virtual Console)
Tried redirecting the launcher to dreampipe and messing with the bins. Never had any luck. All we found out was one dream library launcher supports the BBA and has an on screen keyboard
the others are modem only. I forget which one is which..-

Re: Dream Library (Virtual Console)
ty drez.
it would be so awesome for dreamlibrary to be modded to work offline loading genesis and pc engine roms.
allegedly the genesis emulator is better than smash pack emulator.
and the pc engine emulator is not perfect but still runs decent.

Re: Dream Library (Virtual Console)
The genesis emu is pre smashpack and was what it was based off of. Smashpack has marginally better sound due to each rom being able to be configured individually using Ginsu. Dreamlibrary emu also has a 15 min timed trial per play, unless you paid for it unfortunately..

if some1 wanted to they could extract both emulators to have them standalone and nop out the timer.-drez01- wrote:The genesis emu is pre smashpack and was what it was based off of.

there are ppl with those skills on this site.
what is the "backup!" message that shows up when you run games that have save functions?
i noticed when running genesis dreamlibrary emu that it pops up.
is this to save to vmu?
i never played a game far enough to see if it was a vmu save function?

Re: Dream Library (Virtual Console)
I just saw that video of the pce emu running offline.. Dunno how I missed it, that tells me that if you can figure out what file extension the emu uses for pce games, you can launch a game with the pcemu.. That was something I could never figure out

yes, some1 has already figured out howto load pcemu.bin-drez01- wrote:I just saw that video of the pce emu running offline..

japanesecake's idea with bleem retails was to extract the emulator bin and remove all protections.
i bet the pc engine emulator doesn't have multiple insane protections as bleem.
so you think you could load pc engine roms with 1MD_EMU.BIN?
i guess try .pce, .bin?
