Bleemcast! Bleemcast! Party time! Excellent!

According to one of the guys at Sector:NGP (http://www.classicgaming.com/sngp), an early version of the Bleemcast emulator has been released to the public. It's SO early that it doesn't play a lot of games, but it's got to play more than those single game Bleempacks that came out a couple of years ago.
Anyway, this is good news. I can't wait to see how this emulator turns out.

Anyone get this to work ?
Seemingly big news , yet nobody cares?
This topic is booming on other boards.
I just have to figure out how to burn this on a CD
Anyone interested in this topic?
I couldn't get it to work but then again I have a miserable time with Disk Juggler 4... I used the convert tool to turn the image into a NERO file, but my Dreamcast doesn't recognize the disc.
Did you get it to work, Dustin?
I am going to play around with it tonight,
the instructions from the TNL forum are:
With DiscJuggler tell DJ 'NO' when it asks to repair the image
Someone recommended using version 3.5 of DiscJuggler
Others recommended using a burn software called alcohol

which I may also download and try. I won't be able to try until tonight. Can you let me know if you have any luck. Maybe we can help eachother out.

this link shows the games compatible
I did the same thing no dice. I've never gotten DJ4 to sucessfully write an image I grabbed online, it always crashes the program. It works fine when I compile a data disk, just not with an image. Normally the cdi2nero tool works, but not this time.Originally Posted by digitalpress
I aint really interested to be quite honest.... what's this do again? Makes your dreamcast play some psx games?
My dreamcast already does double duty for a couple of systems..and it needs to rest. I'll just use my psx or ps2 to play psx games :P
Well if it fulfills its promise (as the bleemcast DC discs did for Gran Turismo 2, Tekken, and Metal Gear Solid), it IMPROVES the look of your PlayStation games, and does so much better than the little tweaking a PS2 can give to it.
I'm stoked about this, and the compatibility list shows much better results than I expected. I promise that once I can get a working copy of this I'll make a NERO image available to anyone who wants it.
I dunno.. looking at some of the compatibility listings, it seems most of the games I'm interested in have graphical glitches. There's no chance of this getting updated, is there?
on the TNL forum that I aso check they seemed to think someone might try and update it. Obviously you can see why they went from 1 Disc for all games to 1 disc per game. Again, like the Half Life game. I want it more for the novelty. It can play some games well, if even just a few it adds life to my Dreamcast and brings me something I really thought I would never see.
I'd SLAY for a homebrewed remix of this disc that works on all my PSX games. Honestly, the upgrades will make all my games seem new again!If anyone figures out how to burn it, let me know! I have CloneCD and Nero right now....nothing else.

Well
I have successfully burned it with DJ 4. You have to select "RAW Write" under the advanced tab. I didnt get any repair image error at all, and I looked at the directory of the final burned cd, and there is indeed a bleem.bin there. My problem? I sold my DC not too long ago and cant test it! No worries, I'll be seeing my brother on Sunday, and he's got one. I'll try it there and let you guys know how it works, if someone else hasn't tried it already.
Burn using Alcohol 120%----write method RAW DAO. Works fine. Crusader started up but could not see the menu screen to start game.
I had a playstation underground disk around and it work fine also. The videos looked bad but you could navigate the menu's. I need to buy Einhinder now and play some!
Eicay varee', eisee' nardee'
Can you dig it, yes I can.
I used Alcohol 120 with the default settings and it worked. Ridge Racer 4 plays well. I came in 3rd. Some other games like Siphon Filter worked but were slow. I have to test my games and see what works well. But for my money R4 is worth it alone!
Man, I've GOT to leech a copy off someone...
Any volunteers?

I can either send you a CD or send you a Nero image file (maybe you'll have better luck there?) Let me know.Man, I've GOT to leech a copy off someone...

Cool. I got it to work with Alcohol 120 too (had to use the RAW option though... RAW/DAO bombed on me).
The compatibility list posted earlier is somewhat suspect though - some of the games listed as "perfect" are hardly that! "ONE" for example - looks and plays great until you get to level two, then it crashes!
We'll have to start our own compatibility list here. Any volunteers?
Also, I'll be posting a NERO image on the site here later, so check back to this post if you want it.
Pretty cool stuff.
there goes the PSX modchip market!

A CD would be great, Zektor! I'd really appreciate that.
By the way, I haven't forgotten about those other games I wanted to order from you... I just can't afford them yet. It's dangerously close to tax time and money is extremely tight...
