[NEW] Making DC KARAOKE Useful - Let's talk about it?

[Scrivani]

Nero Error Code 1004 appears when creating CD VCD in Nero.Please help

Do you have Discord?

If you want, send me the videos and i'll create the VCD for you.

The error looks like about the old nero version in new windows, maybe? try another installers, try Nero8.

The files are all updated again.
> READY FOR CD-R AND ODE(Optical Drive Emulators) , SUCH AS GDEMU

To run the VCD's you need, burn one of this options (swap disc like utopia/bleem style):

> -drez01- version still has a feature that you might want(?), which is applying effects to your voice.

GDEMU tips:
Leave the VCDs in position right after the SEGAKARA, so that when you press the physical button on the GDEMU you will swap the disk to the VCD properly. Another important tip is to make sure that your GDEMU.ini file in the root of the card has this configuration:

Code: Select all

image_tests = 0

Overcome your shyness and give your Dreamcast Karaoke HKT-4301 a chance to put these atoms to work and shine!

How do I create my own custom VCD?
1- Download your chosen Karaoke mp4 videos from YouTube, there are many options.
2- Create a Video CD in Nero Express 7. Here you can burn directly to the disc. OR
3- For GDEMU, burn image instead of disc, mount the .NRG image on a virtual disc and transform it into a CDI using DiscJuggler (Raw option - 360000)

Are there any tricks in making a VGA compatible AV cable for this? My hope is to have a cable that works with the Sega VGA box in both VGA and S-video modes (for the few VGA incompatible games). Just pin 1 to 1, pin 2 to 2, for all 16 pins? Nothing crossed over anywhere? I assume that any grounded or open pins for signal type would be handled on the VGA box itself, yes?

Hello, Dreamcast-talk world!

When I first looked at the Segakara disk (HKT-4301), and after seeing Segakara for PC, I was under the impression that the Segakara disk had thousands (15.751) of songs in MIDI format. Did anyone managed to confirm this and enable those songs to be played?

I also believe that the karaoke server could be reverse engineered to provide new songs without many changes in the disk (and without requiring VCDs), but that could obviously be a lot more work, yet also more interesting from the perspective of preserving or restoring some of the original functionality and history of the product.

Fico orgulhoso de ver mais um brasileiro envolvido nisso, foi muito boa a sua análise do contéudo do SEGAKARA. Para deixar registrada a resposta a sua pergunta, que já fiz por e-mail, não houve tratativa das músicas oficiais japonesas do SEGAKARA, pois dependem de um servidor online. Além disso, entendo que seria ótimo em termos de preservação como você disse, por mais que tivéssemos pouco uso/proveito do conteúdo em MIDIs e letras exclusivamente japonesas.


Gostaria de aproveitar a oportunidade para lançar mais 2 VCDs, voltados mais, mas não somente, para o público brasileiro:

.
> VCD ABERTURAS ANIMES E OUTROS

.
> VCD ESPECIAL DRAGON BALL

.
Conheçam as capas feitas pelo amigo brasileiro Douglas (DreamQuest)

Orgulhosamente este foi e é um projeto colaborativo, portanto com contribuição de várias pessoas. Isto é muito bom.

Ficou batizado então o nome do projeto como : "SEGAKARA Rebirth VCD"

This was and is proudly a collaborative project, with contributions from many people. This is very good.

Final project name: "SEGAKARA Rebirth VCD"
