Request Forum

Why is there no request forum yet. Not just a topic, but a forum like most websites with a forum. So, until GG or Segaqholic come up with one (which they don't have to) request stuff like sprites, ROMs, ISOs, washing machines, etc. on this topic. First request will be from me: I need a COMPLETE Ristar sprite sheet.

You could say you're... requesting... a... requests forum?!

This isn't that kind of site, daytonafathead.

Post by **Esrever** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 7:18 pm

Yeah, the GHZ is not particularly friendly to that sort of thing.

But if it's ISOs of new games you are looking for, ask Green Gibbon. He is such a huge pirate. Disgraceful, really.

What's an ISO?

Spazz · Post by **Spazz** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 7:35 pm

It's also called a CD image. It's pretty much an entire copy of a CD contained in one file, excluding audio CD data. They're usually used to be burned on a CD, making an exact copy of the CD it came from. Others use them with emulators to play CD-based games. But at least in the case of Sega CD games, the music can't be run unless you have the music files separate (or so they say), but I can't get the music to work with Sonic CD.

He was being facetious.

If you're talking to me, then for some reason, I couldn't tell.

Well I was and I wasn't. I know it has something to do with pirating games, but I am not sure exactly. So I figured I'd ask and if people took it your way then woohoo, and if they explained it then woohoo.

I don't steal games so I reallydon't know exactly. I just have my NES roms and SNES roms, since I sort of missed out on all old school Nintendo.

It's not stealing it's copying. It's different.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. And no I'm not one of those gungho RIAA is my God people. I just don't steal games. Music, movies and software on the other hand...

Speaking of the RIAA...

the music can't be run unless you have the music files separate (or so they say), but I can't get the music to work with Sonic CD.

You need to name the tracks the same thing as the main ISO file. So if your ISO file is named "sonic", your music tracks should be named "sonic01", "sonic02", etc.

Hey, thanks GG! I've never seen anyone say that before. They just said, "oh, just drop the mp3s in the same folder and it should work."
So it works now, so thanks alot.

Just so people don't get the wrong idea, I own Sonic CD on both Sega CD and PC. The thing is, I got the Sega CD off of eBay and it didn't work, and I have windows XP, and I can't get it to run full screen, also the emulator I have can't detect either of my CD drives, so I can't play it through the emulator. And it's alright to download roms and such if you already have the game (not that there's any thing wrong with downloading anyway). Besides, I'm playing the Japanese iso anyway.

I HATE windows XP, I really, really, REALLY hate it... -_-
XP = Xtremely Pathetic

Nobody's going to chase you down for downloading Sega CD games. I guess it isn't technically my place to say, but as far as I'm concerned, anything N64 era and earlier is free game.

Hmm...I just noticed something:

If only Gibs would write everything down as some sort of holy scripture so we could argue about its ineffable meaning formally.

I keep trying, but nobody wants to publish it.

I download old roms like they're going to disappear tomorrow (because they might). It's actually been extremely educational, and I'm learning to make connections in games I've played over the past few years that have their roots in stuff over a decade old, obscure stuff that nobody remembers or things that were only ever released in Japan.

I don't download games for anything that's being actively supported. For what it's worth, I don't download movies or even TV episodes, either. (I made an exception for the first few Sonic X fansubs, but I never watched them and eventually deleted them to free up space.) I think the most recent thing I've ever snatched are some 32X games.

well...um...I always wanted to make a pirate...but...um....how do you, like, turn the game into a catridge that would work, i'm not sure how to turn a PC game into a Sega Mega Drive or Gamecube, so how do you...make it a cartidrige/CD

WhoopA · Post by **WhoopA** » Sat Jun 12, 2004 10:06 pm

There's already carts that do that (flash carts), but good luck finding one you can use on an older system.

CD-based systems require modifying the console to get the burned images to work.

Someone already made a guide for this. Press alt+F4 and a window will pop up with instructions. It's not that hard. I've made a few myself.

Sega CD ISOs exist? Wow.

So, can someone possibly direct me to a Shining Force CD ISO? I really want to play Shining Force CD. Who knows. it might disappear tomorrow!

Phat Boy dug one up some time back. He's got both the Japanese and US versions, which is awesome because Japanese Sega CD ISO's are rare. (Sonic and Shining Force are the only two I've seen.) Unfortunately, according to him, the site that it was on has long since gone down.

Most rom sites have Sega CD ISO's, but they require you donate or join or part with your money in some manner. They have a few at <a href="http://www.emuparadise.org">Emu Paradise</a>, but the pop-ups there are as persistent as they come.

WhoopA · Post by **WhoopA** » Mon Jun 14, 2004 12:50 am

Pop-ups? No problem!

You think I'm an idiot? I used to have this computer that froze, so I'd keep pressing Alt + F4 for the programs to close.
