Bleemcast where are you!!!!

[baker]

For yous that do not know bleemcast was to be released for the dreamcast whichg allowed the playing of ps1 games on the DC with extra ordinary graphics!!!

I have seen screen shots of metal gear solid and its what I want!!!

I have been playing a football game on the ps1 for donkeys and its fantastic!!

I have never seen a better game and odn't want to give it up because of its crap graphics.

Bleemcast cannot be found on the web and I was wondering if anybod know ehre it could be legally obtained.

You need a seperate Bleemcast! disc for each PSX game. Unfortunately only 3 games were released for Bleemcast before the company went out of business: Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo 2, and Tekken 3. ONLY

I bought all three from http://www.ebgames.com but that was a while ago. I think they were like $8 each, and are impossible to back-up, as of today. To make Bleemcast work you need the Bleemcast disc and the corresponding PSX game disc to go with it. You pop in the Bleemcast disc and it'll load up and later tell you to swap in the PSX disc. After the game boots up, you won't have to put in the Bleemcast disc again.

The graphics are noticeably improved by the Dreamcast hardware, but the games seem to run a little slower then they do on the Playstation. Especially on Metal Gear Solid, when you go down one of the big elevators in the last area before Metal Gear, you see some massive frame skipping. Others might not care about it, but I'm very picky about speed. I'd rather take speed over graphics.

Bleemcast also requires its own memory card (VMU) which it will format for work with all three PSX games.

There is also a freeware PSX emulator for Dreamcast that can emulate any game called PCSX at
http://www.dcemulation.com
It is still in its alpha stages and the games run pretty poorly, but it's a start.

I hjave given up on playing ps games on the dc, just heard too much bad stufff.

However looking at some of these emulators like mame and that that run on the dc it looks like I will be keeping my eye open for one.

I can say that I've got the GranTurismo 2 Bleemcast disc, and I was very impressed by the overall quality on the dreamcast...
