#Dreamcast bios pack install
I managed to secure a genuine Phoebe from his last round of pre-orders, so balance in the universe has been restored! You can read my install guide for that, here. And like I say, if while you’re there your moral compass settles, please do support him and buy an original.Īs a small concession to the creator, I won’t link to the one I bought, but if you want one, you’ll be able to find listings easily enough.ĮDIT (June 2020): You almost certainly know this, but the same person who makes the GDEMU makes the Rhea/Phoebe boards for the SEGA Saturn.
Indeed, the installation pages he has helped me out, so do visit it. That said, if you want to buy one from the inventor, he opens pre-order queues periodically, and the official site can be found here. It’s just that our modern understanding of intellectual property is vastly different and more developed than that of our ancestors. That’s not justification for it, but it always has, and always will happen. We live in a capitalist world, and cloning in different contexts has been happening for as long as humans have been making stuff (flint arrowhead, anyone?). I couldn’t let it stop me creating, but everyone is different. As individuals, we don’t have the legal means to fight every wrong against us. It’s not a good feeling, but one has to move on, and accept that it will happen.
I’m also a creative, and have seen my work plagiarised so that somebody else gained commercially. I’m not going to get too deep into the politics of this I know clones are a shady industry, and suck for the originator of GDEMU. Burning fresh copies of games solves the first problem, but not the latter. Not only are the optical discs themselves deteriorating, but the laser units in the GD drives also have a finite lifespan, and repairing them could become costly, if parts even keep being made. My PAL version of Rez was parted with during a desperate period of my life for about a tenner.
Most of the games I sold are obviously the ones I want to play, too. I used to have a fairly good original game collection, but sold a lot of them long ago (the most familiar of woeful tales to so many of my generation). As I have a launch model, it runs backups without needing a boot disc, but I had to wait while the burn took place, and then cross my fingers that it was successful. I connected it all up, and got my games out. My waned love for the Dreamcast was recently rekindled due to a desire to play Crazy Taxi. IMPORTANT: Doing any of the modifications on this page, especially the one to the power circuit, are entirely at your own risk.
