Sega Dreamcast: Carrier v0.100 GD-R Beta [Bananabreak]

It *should* be JUE region patched but I guess it is also possible you got one of the few Japanese Dreamcasts that won't boot MIL-CD? Either that or the other release didn't crack the copy protection, or you're burning it wrong

 

K-Project works fine on a JPN Dreamcast.

As for your question, LeGIt. Carrier beta is nothing like the final game. many textures are different for the worse in the beta, awful place holder rain effects, different animations, no FMV, the intro is different and in Japanese only. The final game is in English by default. Sometimes there's as timer of 10 minutes and other times there isn't. You also can't complete anything past the first chapter since there is no 2nd security card.

This really is a true beta.

I can play home burned DC rips perfectly and haven't burnt it wrong, I've tried doing it with DiscJuggler, Alcohol120% and Bootdreams, each time it asks me to insert a game disc.

I've just checked the torrent on the [link removed] site and in the comments it says that the game needs to be patched to work on JPN machines, so all I can guess is that there must be a patched version floating around that I cannot find. Thanks for the feedback anyway

 

Can anyone confirm if it's possible to find the 2nd ID card in this beta of carrier. I'd say that there's got to be more to it than we've seen. Actually, has anyone conected a keyboard or mouse up to it yet? I may give that a shot tonight.

 

I played through to a part and not sure if I got a keycard or not. I looted something from a guy covered in moths, got stuck, lost, then teleported to somewhere I've never been before LOL and not found my way back there yet. There looks to be 17 or so areas in the beta though perhaps just not all of the objects are in place. If you keep teleporting (for example B+down repeatedly) you cycle to different doorways though.

 

Wow!!! :-0

Great beta release!!!

Thanks to everyone involved!!! :thumbsup:

 

nice release

but whn i tried to do the debug mode with the 2nd controller, nothing happens, and sound like the level starts in a different way each time i boot.

 

Cheers on the debug information Legit.

 

pato I noticed that sometimes the intro is different, I thought I was nuts though - thanks for confirming it.

As for the debug commands, when you plug in the second controller, you have to atcually press the buttons on the second controller for it to work (in port B)

 

but i pressed and nothing happens.

 

Did you try switching controllers in case port B or 2nd controller is broken?

 

I'll give the debug a try tonight and let you know how it goes, LeGIt.

This is one cool beta. Yesterday I found out that if you connect a 2nd controller and put a VMU in the first controller, the game plays as normal. Originally it was very buggy and near unplayable but now I can actually play the game. I managed to get pretty far in to the first few areas. It's great to see all the unfinished story animations, rough text and incomplete dialoge. I'll be uploading a video of it tonight to YouTube.

Right, this is one hell of a strange beta. So far there are 4 ways it can boot. The first being the working beta, the second being the working beta but with a 10 minute timer. The third starts off as if it's the working beta but there's no rain apart from in the lights plus the actual carrier deck is a completely different design and very small. You can even walk right off it in to the blackness. The camera also stays pointing at your face in this mode. Finally there's the forth boot which is basically broken. The intro doesn't really work and you start the game in the middle of nowhere. What is odd is that it seems random on how the game will boot.

Anyway, only the working beta can be played up to the first boss (Plant on a lift (Elevator)) but no matter what you do it won't die. I tried blasting it to bits with 20 bombs but it still wouldn't die. I died though and back to the title screen I went.

There is a save feature BUT you can't load it back! Pretty useless then really. Anyway, this is a very good beta, just a shame the final game was a bit crap.
