Guide: Setting up Reicast Dreamcast
[14:55]
I will make a little guide to get Reicast up and running. It can be very fickle at times and I had a lot of trouble starting it initially on my XD.
What you will need:
Reicast R6 (Play Store) (Not recommended)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reicast.emulator&hl=en
Reicast Beta Builds (Recommended) http://builds.reicast.com/
Now the reason I recommend using the peak beta is because the official Play Store version is very outdated, being only R6 version while the current version is beyond R7. There are many fixes in the newer versions, especially in the latest versions, many graphics bugs have been fixed.
Reicast - Dreamcast emulator - Apps on Google Play
Play your Dreamcast games on the go & in HD.
Reicast the only Dreamcast emulator for Android. It is not perfect yet, but can already run many games.
No games or bios are included with this download, as this would be illegal. You have to dump the bios and games from your own ...
[14:55]
Dreamcast BIOS files I will not link to this, as it is technically illegal to share ROM dumps just like sharing ROM and ISO games. You can find them very easily with a Google search.
The file I have is called Dreamcast.zip and includes 7 files:
[14:56]
DC - BIOS (All) .bin
DC - BIOS.bin
DC - Flash (All) .bin
DC - Flash.bin
DC - Utopia CD Loader V1.1.cdi
DC - Utopia CD Loader V1.1.nrg
DC - VMS BIOS (Full) .bin
[14:56]
You will need DC - BIOS.bin (2MB) and DC - Flash.bin (128KB). Now rename them
dc_boot.bin
dc_flash.bin
respectively.
If you want to make sure these are good BIOS rips, you can check their MD5 or SHA1 hashes:
DC - BIOS.bin
md5: e10c53c2f8b90bab96ead2d368858623
sha1: 8951d1bb219ab2ff8583033d2119c899cc81f18c
DC - Flash.bin
md5: 0a93f7940c455905bea6e392dfde92a4
sha1: 94d44d7f9529ec1642ba3771ed3c5f756d5bc872
[14:56]
You will also need at least 1 game in * .gdi, * chdv4 or * .cdi format. * .bin or * .iso or any other format will not work. Without any supported images, Reicast will continue to start you on the browser and you will not be able to start the BIOS.
I will use crazytaxi.cdi as an example.

Now copy your BIOS and game files to your XD's internal memory. The folder structure I'm using isn't concrete, but it works for me. You should be able to use the SD card as well, but I had the best experience using the internal memory.
Copy your BIOS files to
internalSD: \ reicast \ data \ dc_boot.bin
internalSD: \ reicast \ data \ dc_flash.bin
[14:57]
I copy my games to
internalSD: \ reicast \ dc \ crazytaxi.cdi
Install your reicast-android-debug - *. Apk and run. Now in Reicast under Settings, under System Path, point it to
internalSD: \ reicast
which, once accepted, will look like
\ storage \ sdcard0 \ reicast
and for the storage path point to
internalSD: \ reicast \ dc (or whatever your game folder is)
which, once accepted, will look like
\ storage \ sdcard0 \ reicast \ dc
[14:57]
To configure the controls, go to Input and under Controller A, press Select and then press a button on the XD. I am using the PS3 gamepad mode, but it should work with the XBOX360 as well.
Now go back to the browser and select Boot Dreamcast BIOS. There are 2 things to do:
Set your time *
Format your VMUs (memory cards)
* If you find that your time is not saving, set it 5 minutes before local time.
To format the VMU go to File> Press A> Press A> Delete All (memory reset)> Yes.
You can select an image and color to identify the VMU and then confirm the settings. You can now exit by pressing the Back button and selecting Exit Emu.
[14:58]
You can now select and run your games. At this time, save states are not supported and you will need to save to the game. If you don't format your VMU first, you can't save at all!
Utopia bootdisk est un programme de démarrage sorti le 22 juin 2000 et créé par le groupe warez Utopia, conçu pour jouer à des jeux piratés Sega Dreamcast sur des disques CD-R standard. [1] Le disque de démarrage permet également la lecture de GD-ROM Dreamcast officiels importés , en contournant le verrouillage de région de Dreamcast . Le disque de démarrage Utopia n'annule pas la sécurité utilisée sur les disques GD-ROM d'origine ; à la place, il utilise une méthode de démarrage alternative dans le BIOS Dreamcast , qui était à l'origine destinée à être utilisée avec des CD MIL . Lorsqu'il est chargé dans un Dreamcast standard, l'écran affiche un rendu 3D rotatif d'un rennes à côté d'un message pour insérer un disque. Une fois qu'un nouveau disque est inséré et que le couvercle Dreamcast est fermé, le disque démarre. Finalement, le disque de démarrage a été rendu obsolète par des versions pirates "auto-amorçantes" - des jeux sortis au format MIL-CD qui pouvaient démarrer sans avoir besoin du disque de démarrage Utopia. Le disque de démarrage a été développé à l'aide d'une version piratée du SDK Sega Katana , avec du code pour rendre le renne tiré d'une première démo de la théière Dreamcast .
Wheels make by myself and thanks to cyclair to bordure.

Sega Dreamcast Game wheels
Dreamcast Game Wheels
Dreamcast Game Wheels (Logo)
Loved the Crylen framed wheel pack, but didn't see one for Sega Dreamcast Indies, so made a basic one.
Set of 269 Sega Dreamcast 2D boxes with reflections added and reformatted to be aspect-correct in 16:9 widescreen setups. The boxes themselves are sourced from other 2D box sets. This set matches HyperList as of December 2017, but does not include images for games marked as prototypes, unlicensed, or non-English games.
The "UHD Sega Dreamcast 3D Jewel Case Project" is a team effort between myself, @fire10, and @Black Hazor. It is very much a work in progress. Our goal is to provide the community with an Ultra Hi Definition, future-proofed set of Sega Dreamcast box art. Black Hazor has managed to collect high quality scans for over half of the current official database, and has actually volunteered to purchase some of the missing games. He truly jumpstarted this project... because I was on the fence about just putting together something far less extraordinary. Fire10 started this project, and has contributed design ideas, invaluable feedback, and is currently working on 'special' jewel cases that will not work with the basic templates we've already designed.
Thanks goes to @goofers for providing the PAL template. Special thanks to @Avar, @Kondorito, for feedback and tips, and especially @JSinn for help polishing the final versions of our templates.

@SupraKarma - project lead
This set includes jewel case/DVD case 3D art for every game in the [Official] Sega Dreamcast xml, which you can find here.
Special thanks goes to @JSinn and @Kondorito. Your insight and constructive criticism has made me more aware as a graphic artist. Thank you for taking the time to help me improve.
This set is dedicated to the massive media contributors. As much as I'd like to name people by name, I'd probably forget some very important contributors, and I don't want to do that. If you've sacrificed your time - the most valuable commodity we all have in this life - to make HyperSpin more enjoyable for everyone, this is for you. You are the backbone of this entire community, and in a very real sense - HyperSpin itself.
I had no idea how much work this project was going to be when I started it. I thought I'd have it done in a week, and I underestimated it greatly. There were many unforeseeable obstacles that slowed down progress and turned a one week project into a 2 month project. I have newfound respect for HyperSpin contributors that I didn't before. This set, while not perfect, is as close as I will ever come to putting out A+++ artwork. It is certainly better than I had imagined it would be when I first started it - and I am proud to present on behalf of my co-contributors the [OFFICIAL] HyperSpin Sega Dreamcast 3D Jewel Case Art HD set.
Enjoy.

Credit and very special thanks goes to @Avar and @Black Hazor, who contributed towards this project in a big way - actually purchasing some missing games, so that we could all have nice artwork.
This is @Avar's set that he uploaded several weeks ago, with 'inauthentic' artwork that I was able to identify replaced, and missing discs added. There may still be a few inauthentic discs here and there, but there are substantially less than there were.
In some cases, ebay photos were used. The quality is not the best. The discs are round and authentic, but maybe they have a reflection or light that wouldn't be present if we had been using actual scans to create the artwork. They're acceptable, but ideally, they will eventually be replaced with something better.
The short list is as follows:
AeroWings 2 - Air Strike (USA)
Bust-A-Move 4 (USA)
Capcom vs. SNK - Millennium Fight 2000 Pro (Japan)
Ducati World Racing Challenge (USA)
Giga Wing 2 (USA)
Godzilla Generations - Maximum Impact (Japan)
Grinch, The (USA)
Gundam Side Story 0079 - Rise from the Ashes (USA)
Hello Kitty no Magical Block (Japan)
Inhabitants - Dreamcast (World) (Unl)
Magforce Racing (USA)
Marvel vs. Capcom - Clash of Super Heroes (USA)
Maximum Pool (USA)
Monaco Grand Prix (USA)
MTV Sports - Skateboarding Featuring Andy McDonald (USA)
Netto de Tennis (Japan)
Next Tetris - On-line Edition, The (USA)
Puyo Puyo 4 (Japan)
Q-Bert (USA)

If you own any of these games, please help by getting involved. If you have a collection of Sega Dreamcast discs, a decent scanner, and would like to contribute towards making better quality artwork, please visit the following thread:
Also be sure to post a reply if you've identified 'inauthentic' artwork, and we'll do the best we can to get it replaced with something better.
Unless I've overlooked something, there was no section to upload letter packs to, so I uploaded this pack as a 'pointer' instead. Someone should fix this.
These letters have been created using the 'Tahoma' font, which is the font used in the Dreamcast logo. It's very close to the actual font, only very slight differences (that you probably won't notice unless you're trying to).

I pulled most of the wheels in this set from one of Aorin's packs, credit goes to him for organizing it, and all of the contributors that actually made the wheels. All I've done is fill in blanks, so that we can have a complete set for the current database.
I've given the wheels a quick run through - quality ranges from acceptable to excellent. Many of them will need to be redone in order to pass as 'official.' But, that is beyond my ability. They're not terrible. You most likely won't notice flaws unless you are actually looking for them. My hope is that those awesome Adobe Illustrator guys get this system on their radar, and decide to overhaul the entire set. They will surely use at least some of the wheels already in this one. But in the meantime, if 'good enough' is good enough, enjoy this wheel set.
Included in this pack is a folder called 'Large.' It contains WIP photoshop (psd) files, a few alternate logos, and large versions of files before they were resized. I didn't bother to clean it up or organize it.
If you have a better quality version of any of these logos, please upload it to the following thread:
This should be a full set of authentic Sega Dreamcast discs, or at least as close to that as is presently available.

Credit goes to sercaljr for his set, I added about 79.
My motivation for updating his work is, I wanted more 'authentic' looking artwork than the other complete set I found on the ftp, e.g. actual jewel cases instead of generic boxes.
However, this set is far from perfect. I didn't bother putting names on the sides of the Japanese games, because the jewel case templates I used are not authentic to begin with. No sense putting lots of work into making something inauthentic pretty. I did manage to find a good template for Euro games, but I only used them for 3 of the games that were missing. I didn't bother fact checking any of the existing games.
So, I consider this an improvement if you want a complete set, with more authentic looking art. But I'm hoping someone else will step up and fix the Japanese and remaining Euro games (if any) for region, and we can have a truly authentic set.
I spent a day on this, and I'm moving on to my main project. If you're a fan of my other work, yes, Ultimate Sega Dreamcast is coming soon, so you can download this now or get this, and all the other goodies when I release that project.
Hi,
Here is a Bezel I made for the Dreamcast. I made a lot of them, but don't really know where to put them, so that's why i've parked it here for now. More will follow
