Toejam & Earl 3 - Dreamcast Beta

Cool! Would like to see more media of this! (and investigation into stock dreamcast compatibility)

 

An amazing find. This was actually one of the titles I did plan on buying for the DC after watching the trailers. I hope you can put together a nice quality video for us all to see.

 

This is huge, I hope this gets up and running for everyone.

 

This is great! I hope there is a dedicated fan base that can get this working on a retail unit someday! Was this one of Smilebit's Dev kits? If so, that is huge!

 

Amazing find, well done!!! Perhaps our resident dreamcast wizards could help you getting the alpha working? You seem quite the expert already

 

That's quite the find you have there, I never thought this would be around.

 

Wow thats an awesome find! The Dreamcast just keeps on giving.

 

Very cool. Very, very cool.

 

I just wet myself

 

amazing!!this is big!

 

What an incredible discovery! Please make a video ^^

 

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!! Speechless...... Now this is an amazing discovery!

 

Very nice! Dreamcast 4 life!

 

A very nice find indeed, but before you add any other files for various tests with the GD-M I'd strongly recommend doing a file undelete of some kind too. I personally use File Scavenger but there are plenty of other programs out there but make sure you recover the files off the GD-M onto a different storage device or you will risk overwriting them and losing them forever.

It's how I found the unreleased German SKU sound files, another alternate title screen and another beta executable for Evil Twin Cyprien's Chronicles. If there is a visible build on the GD-M there could be hidden / deleted files for other discarded games or builds too

I remember preordering this game for the original Microsoft Xbox back in the day, in part because of its history and in part because it was also one of the early games to have some form of Xbox Live enabled too. I can't say I thought much of it back then but it was at least mildly entertaining in short bursts

You forgot Shinobi which ended up on the Sony PlayStation 2

 

You forgot Shinobi which ended up on the Sony PlayStation 2

Was that due on Dreamcast?

 

Guys, I just did some digging and found this old post dated from 2009:

...

I was already psyched, but if this build contains the stuff Greg is talking about....... SYSTEM LINK!!!!!!

 

How much of the game do we think is playable?

 

I've already made an bit to bit copy of the disk before I did anything with it, and used R-Studio Data recovery (Technician edition).
To my dissapointment there where no deleted files to be found..
However i will try to search for stuff with an HEX editor on the disk image

Nice digging!, as far I can see there is no option for multi dreamcast play
Maybe some debug console can be spawned so it is possible, but I havn't found that yet...

But there is an multi-player via splitscreen in this buld that works.

Also me a friend of mine played it till Level 10 so I think that at least 24 levels are playable.

Status update :
I've tried to make it boot on an dreamcast emulator by creating an selfboot, however after the SEGA Logo the system reboots.
If there are any suggestions, please let me know

 

So quite a bit of the game is playable then?

 

As far I can play without dying, yes
