I'm going through my PAL games to see which are vga compatible, which are not & which can be tricked (by means of a bootdisk: DC-X, CodeBreaker or something similar). now I need to know which (legit) US counterparts work in vga & which don't. I do not want/need anyone copying of/ or linking through to (faulty) online lists, I know where to find them & I also know they are inconclusive.
What I do need is for you to actually put your legit game in your dreamcast & see with your own eyes what happens. (and try it with a bootdisk first if nothing does :p).

I also have a few PAL games that need testing, but that are sealed and I don't want to open them at this moment so if someone could test em for me please.

obviously when I'm all done I'll share my info with you all

these are the US games I need tested (if they don't work from first try, do it again by shutting your dreamcast off, putting in a bootdisk first & then your game, also start a new game as some games boot to vga, play the intro, but then freeze up)

-Capcom Vs Snk *checked* vga comp
-Disney Dinosaur
-Heavy Metal Geomatrix*checked* vga comp
-KISS Psycho Circus
-NFL Blitz 2000 *checked* works with bootdisk
-Pen Pen
-Rippin'Riders *checked* vga comp

-Sno Cross Championship
-Street Fighter 3:Third Strike
-Virtua Tennis 2
-Buggy Heat
-Tokyo Highway Challenge 2

thanks guys

I can tell you that Rippin' Riders needs a boot disc to run in VGA.

Edit:

It DOES NOT require a boot disc.

Off of the US list I can tell you that right out the gate, CVS1 and Heavy Metal Geo are VGA compatible. I dont't know which Blitz you're refering to (2000,2001) but I know for a fact that the former must be tricked, but does indeed work on VGA.

I assume he's talking about the original NFL Blitz (2000) but if he's referring to 2001 then I can say it does support VGA natively.

Well whatever the case, they both seem to be VGA compatible in one way or another lol!

thanks guys

CDAGES: it was blitz 2000 (we didn't get 2001 in europe, so there's no counterpart :p)

now for the rest...

Alright, I made a mistake. Rippin' Riders DOES NOT require a boot disc. I was thinking of TrickStyle. Sorry about that.

thx wiz

Hey maz maybe you can find out something for me. I have the "All Stars" version of Hydro Thunder and I'm not able to get it to work in VGA no matter what I do. I've heard that Hydro Thunder is supposed to work in VGA with a boot disc so I'm thinking it has something to do with it being the All Stars version. If you have a copy can you test it out for me?

nope, I only have the PAL version, which CAN be tricked with a bootdisk
