SegaFreak was kind enough to share me the "DREAMCASTMAGAZINE GD VOL7" demo disc, which contains a Outtrigger demo. However the cool thing about the demo, it shows a cable play/link-up option opted out. Unfortuatly I have no idea how to look for hidden options, codes or hack anything. But maybe one of you can? Maybe there is some workable code left to make cable play working on the demo and/or the full version! So if you have experience hacking Dreamcast games, then please send me a PM and we can sort some things out. btw: I made a RAW dump of the disc, and extracted the following files. [ROOT] 1ST_READ.BIN OUTT.BIN [FOLDER: OUTT] ROOT.AFS SPRITE.AFS ST_BG1.AFS ST_BG3.AFS ST_BG4.AFS ST_BOT2.AFS ST_BOT4.AFS ST_DK0.AFS ST_DK2.AFS ST_DK3.AFS ST_DM0.AFS ST_DM1.AFS ST_DM3.AFS ST_DM4.AFS ST_DM6.AFS Z_ADX.AFS (not directfeed; becouse the devkit crashes at this point when trying to make a screendump)
I just made a RAW dump of the full version OUTTRIGGER (J) and I found the following interesting text inside the 1ST_READ.BIN: CABLE_1P ver,NAOMI,G2,build_time=%s %s,ver_str=%s,hw=0x%x,vbr=0x%x,reg= 0x%x Feb 20 2001 11:39:01 So maybe there is some hope?
May 30 2000 16:30:26 (Demo Build) Feb 20 2001 11:39:01 (Full Build) I'm not so sure that's anything related to cable VS play. Games like F355 and Virtual On, which had the VS play mode hidden, still contained the menu text within the bin file. If you can find matching text in the menu section, then there might be hope, however, if there isn't, then it was most likely pulled all together.
