Rod Maher wrote:There were *NEVER* any beta versions that were released -- this one was an early version that was NOT released, but was leaked by an internal beta tester almost a year ago.

Enjoy the games from legacy of games and respect ya familys man. Love cometh from GOD and GOD only - Legendary U2K aka Tha Don U2K.
Read the 0 file and have fun - The Revolution GamersCode: Select all
Dreamcast Alpha Boot Disc, Final Version 3.0. 66739/other version number supported.
Plays most Playstationg games and some do not work, all respect goes out the cross figure
group and the revolution gamers, bringing you the best games ever, respect goes out to "the creators of bleem".
You can either test out some of your psx games on the alpha disc , code name Dreambleem or bleemcast or
you can roll over to legacy of games and u2k can let yall know what games do work. We(the revolution gamers) will
test them and release them and u2k can give out the information for yall.
Enjoy and burn with discjuggler, have fun!Extracted the heartbreak diary MIL-CD ip.bin and the bleem beta ip.bin compared them both.
This shows where the custom code starts.

Here is extra info included - BETA Known Protections
================== ==================
- basically what happens is it copies its own data to 0x8c00f??? range
- then decrypts that data using a v.simple algorithm
- a mixture of a key in GR14 and using the XOR instruction
0x8c00f1ec: MOVLL (R2) --> R0
0x8c00f1ee: DT R1 - 1 --> R1; if R1=0, T=1, else T=0
0x8c00f1f0: XOR R0 ^ R13 --> R0
0x8c00f1f2: ADD R0 + R14 --> R0
0x8c00f1f4: XOR R14 ^ R13 --> R14
0x8c00f1f6: SUB R13 - R0 --> R13
0x8c00f1f8: MOVLS R0 --> (R2)Here is an excerpt from jeffma & BrianRus .nfo's from 2003 in regards to "all bleem beta colors are the same":

Yes this is a beta, bleemcast.
This is the BLUE version.
Just in case you're wondering about the other 4 versions/colors of bleemcast... the person who cracked it found they are all identical.
Props to the folks that made this happen!Code: Select all
[04:30] <Betatester> Well, each one was encoded to only work on that specific DC
[05:16] <Me> i mean different color dc's got different builds
[05:24] <Betatester> Well, I'm really not sure if they were different builds or not. I'm thinking that he might have done some kind of encoding on them, AFTER he did the builds, to make it work on the individual DC's. But, I don't know that for sure. He might have had the encoding done during the build itself, in which case they would be different builds for each colorwe have 1 source for the original cracked blue, "The revolution gamers & the cross figure group & u2k"
hearsay from jeffma & BrianRus .nfo's in 2003..
and speculation from a "beta tester" in the "leaked" all colors txt..
this is what every1 bases their opinion on about all beta colors are the same.
yet we have never seen each color cracked.
thoughts?

List of things that are needed:
Each color of the beta bleem binaries cracked: BLUE, GREEN, ORANGE, PURPLE, YELLOW
Proof of the method used to crack each color beta binary.
Proof of the type of encryption used for each color beta binary.
Then a file comparison after each color beta binary has been cracked to show any similarities or differences. (hex editor, and ASM)
-----
A working method of creating a bleemcast beta boot disk (BLEEM.NRG) based off of the BUILDNRG.BAT found in the "leaked" archive.
Using everything as originally intended in the batch file i.e : 2 temp files created, the ISO16.RAW (ip.bin), split.exe, image.nrg, iso.nri, Audio.nra w/ audio.wav, etc.
Then after creating an iso with this batch file, extracting the ip.bin from the image.
-----
A hex comparison of the extracted ip.bin from:
BLEEM.NRG (created from original BUILDNRG.BAT)
Heartbreak Diary MIL-CD (with original file structure)
Show any similarities or differences.
-----
With these things completed it would finally prove or debunk the talk about how each beta bleem binary color is the same.
With these things completed it would finally prove or debunk the talk about how each beta bleem binary color was locked to a specific dreamcast.
