other sega dreamcast dev

Tell us how much time it takes to burn it as I heard it can be hours writing a GD-R...

 

Thanks very much for getting this working. Has anyone actually played much of the game; is it any good?

I have it coming down atm. Anyone skilled/bored enough to do some covers?

 

hi my wirter i had to fix it as my windows xp pc messed up 3 of my gd-rs
i was crying but i have used my last one on my windows 98 pc and it took 1 hour and now works thanks for everyones support

 

So you have a working Hellgate in a GD-R? And it took 1 hour tu burn it?

 

yes

 

now thats genius-style, never heard of someone from the community burning stuff onto GD-Rs, usually that was the developer's task

 

hi guy the other dev kit from the same person i just had that hard drive back from a hard drive recovery lab as the hdd heads was gone but they go the C++ files i will be uploading the files sortley
and i upgraded my dev box hdd to 33gb
and now has more space for games

 

source code on a dev box ?

Very strange ^^

 

Humm interesting...
source code uh?
Maybe the developer wanted ot have the source code for himself and copied it to the dev kit...

heres the stuff

please tell me what you all think

 

Well i took a quick look into the source code and i looks like the VS link play is implemented completely. I dont know how far the VS cable is reversed engineered and supported by KOS. But the source of Hellgate can be seen as an example for expirienced coders.

Did anyone try to compile it yet?

 

hi i found pictures a look alike gd writer two pics




and heres the real deal

 

Hmm looks like Sega borrowed some casing from a normal external writer.

 

Does anyone know if this file was mirrored anywhere else or if raylyd is still around and could re-upload it? (Since Megaupload is down :moody. I don't like bringing up old threads, but I especially wanted to try out Hellgate because of the Vs Link mode and according to this post, it seems like this new upload has a more functional vs. link mode:

Of course, that post was by someone who had only ever made that single post and he was never given a reply, but I see no reason not to believe him until these files are actually found. Any ideas about what can be done? (Also, I did a search for Hellgate on these forums and I only found two topics, both just mentioning the game in passing. Curiously though, this topic, nor the topic about Hellgate in the Unreleased Games forum turned up in any of the Hellgate searches I tried, not quite sure why...).

 

No he isn't around as he sold bootleg GD-R's as legit disc to folks and I was one of them, anyhow as far as I know the files have been gone for over a year now as well as him. He lurks other sites such as this under the same name so he isn't hard to find and I am sure he would happily sell you the data. Sorry jokes aside don't pay any money to a scammer, my pockets are hundreds of dollars lighter thanks to him.

 

I know this is a old post, but it's something interesting to comment about:

That's a Yamaha CDR-100, Caddy version.

I heard that the earliest GD writers were based on the Yamaha CDR-400 drive. And that drive has odd empty places on it's board that look awfully similar to the spot where the custom Yamaha chip for reading GD discs is on the GD drive board.

CDR-100 is too old to even have anything to do with Dreamcast development. It could be part of the official Saturn devkit, though ...
