Make a copy from the GD-ROM again then.

How useless can someone be?

 

[Axel1]

I didn't actually get that. If you have something to say then just say it.

Not much to get, I was saying you weren't being helpful to him but rather going in a circle.

I doubt he actually has the original copy, he probably just said that to not look like a big bad pirate, so telling him to try that was a bit pointless.

dont be rude to Psy Nulldc wouldnt be around if it wernt for him (and others) now show respect or he'll kick your ass outta here!

Really? cause I see about 15 usernames in the about list in NullDC and Psy isn't one of them.

rotflmao.

you're an ass PsyMan!!!
keep up the good work :thumb:




Crack, its time you stopped smoking it.

Ohh! my bad, I was too busy looking for those that coded the thing. Mental support is important tho, I bow down to his masterful computer skills as suggested by the previous user.

You have it all wrong. You didn't know what I was talking about. As a result you didn't know what you were talking about either.

You were talking about something that didn't help solve the problem, what's not to understand about it?

The reply was helpful and withing the forum limits when it comes to piracy.

Helpful how? did you say anything to solve his problem regarding the character problem? he said he downloaded it (along with borrowing it from a friend, apparently), so what was your advice to solve the problem? repeat what he already did? even if he did by chance have a legal copy, why not give advice to fixing the "loading" problem?

This forum is too testy when it comes to "warez", you guys have to realize that basically everyone who uses NullDC does so with copied games, would it really bring down the wrath of the ESA or something to give a little advice?

 

[Axel1]

He was using a bad rip, i told him to make a good rip (by "re-dumping" the game). This fixes the problem. Do you get it now?

Ahh, so if he has the same problem with a copy from the internet and his friends game then the solution is re-dumping the game?

 

[Axel1]

Yes. The emulator tries to load a file that both of his copies miss (bad dumps/rips). Re-ripping the game fixes that.
Re-downloading the game from somewhere else could also fix that (or could not depending on the rip). However, it's not my business to give warezing guidelines. If you screw on that you're on your own.

As a side-note, I never saw the original poster complaining after my reply. You are the one who popped up out of nowhere, started trolling the thread and accused people just because you wanted to share your irrelevant opinion. If you're not happy with the warez policy of the board you can contact the administrators or just get out.

Ok so basically your advice is to get another copy or... get another copy.

Which brings me back to my point, it was useless advice to those of use with the problem.

What's the point of even updating NullDC or changing the settings when you can just tell people to get another copy?

 

[Axel1]

You really are clueless about the matter aren't you? The game he "got" is incomplete. It misses necessary data. It will not work on any emulator, ever. It will not work on a real Dreamcast either. It will always have the same problem. No settings or updates can change that. That's what a "bad rip" is all about.

Ok, so basically you're saying it's likely not the full version?

Why not just say that straight away?

It makes sense then if they removed the other character to make the file burnable, like they did with Shenmue II.

 

[Axel1]

....you did notice his username right?

What about it?

 

[Axel1]

Because it would involve piracy related talk and that's not tolerated here. It would also give out that he is a pirate (and that's something I don't want to know), not to mention that I personally avoid helping out in that case most of the time (unless I'm in good mood). It was also not necessary to go through all this just to end up telling him 3 words, to redump the game.

God forbid a free forum dedicated to emulators should have speech related to piracy.

There would be nothing wrong with saying "you probably downloaded the game illegaly, it's probably not the full game, get a real copy".

At least the evil pirate would then know what the problem is without going through the trouble of getting another copy or retail version of the game.:emb:

since when is this forum free........

Since the birth of net neutrality?
