    This the PC/Windows version of the CRI Middleware that were used for lots of Dreamcast titles.
    This library supposedly allowed developers to have functional CRI middleware feature on their PC build (as most DC games would maintain a PC build).
    Include various software tools which i assume are also compatible with the DC data format

    $200 shipped

    Omg I would kill to get these out to the public. If they are still here which I doubt when my settlement comes back I am buying these for public use and paying off the rest I owe to release Made Man to Borman. I have some of these tools and use them on a frequent basis as do many other Dreamcast rippers

    I agree that these could be useful for that purpose, but, would the files they produce be compatible with Dreamcast stuff? The Dreamcast libraries are much older, and the CRI formats evolved constantly as they got support for new hardware (mpeg2 video, 5.1 adx files, etc).

    Says in the description used in Dreamcast projects so I would certainly hope so. The ones we have out now are nice and all I use for ADX & SFD files.

    As pictured the tools date are 2003/03
    I don't know if they had ditched DC compatibility at that point, but I imagine not

    This is the set of tools I have though I do not have all documents. If you can't find a buyer and want a lower price please drop me a PM as I thought it was an updated set of tools as well not just documents. Still and impressive piece of history. One question are you going to make any backups before selling since it is just on a CDR?

    This is cool, but way overpriced. If it was like 2-5€ I'd buy it maybe. Anything above is too much in my opinion.
    You should consider the fact that you can get CRI Middleware for free as indy developer by now.

    So most of the information is probably out in the wild by now anyway. I highly doubt the new versions drop the compatibility for old files.
    So this is just useful to sit in an archive or to RE older games.

    JayFoxRox, if you don't like the price either don't buy it or haggle. As the item is up on eBay with a low starting price you have every opportunity to buy it. Your demand of a download in the other thread and trolling the price here with a ROFL low offer is somewhat disrespectful and not how we roll.

    Enjoy your temporary ban whilst you contemplate the error of your ways!

    Oh and Omar, good luck with the sale :)
