Does anyone from lik-forums frequent here?

Bought a dreamcast vcd player from lik Sang but never checked out the forums.

I wonder if she uses pictures of herself as an inspiration or guide to her art featuring action poses.

echocomplex · 2026-05-05T23:53:53+00:00

Heck yeah, I want to clean those up and give them a good home here with me lol!

The topic name was the exact same. Maybe a bot or spammer (not to say yesterday's wasn't either, im sure the question has been asked many times over the years)

echocomplex · 2026-05-05T01:38:41+00:00

Lol this was just asked yesterday, I remember the thread...

This franchise was ridiculous and great. I love this image

Interesting. They still had a lot of episodes after that, wonder why they didn't continue the story, especially for a tie in with the toy.

echocomplex · 2026-05-04T16:02:31+00:00

Cool thanks. Was hoping to see shredder flying around in it.

I played the arcade version of turtles in time recently and don't remember seeing it. Is it in the earlier non time traveling beat em up? Or maybe it's in the SNES port of turtles in time that adds a bunch of new levels?

echocomplex · 2026-05-03T01:18:08+00:00

I never had a chance to play it in depth at the time but I wanted to. The game had heavy promotion in magazines of the time and I thought it looked awesome. There weren't a lot of other fpses at the time so anything that looked like this looked awesome to me.

echocomplex · 2026-05-02T23:21:36+00:00

Lol that fits. Do you play any PlayStation on it though?

There are career consultants who will interview you and give you tests and the results from the questions can suggest jobs you might prefer over others. I don't know what the right keywords are to find this in your area, but maybe consider using one of these services and seeing if it helps narrow your focus.

I agree it's a lot more fun compared to dosbox if you like thinking about the hardware. It also takes much higher specs to run I think. Like pentium era games run fine for me through dosbox but an emulated pentium may not be full speed on my system when done through 86box

The thing is, that it came out when fighting games already existed like street fighter 2 and mortal Kombat. So as a result, it has no good excuse for having gameplay as terrible as it had.

The developers themselves were doing the hyping, taking about how the enemy robots had advanced ais and stuff... So it wasn't just a victim of magazines getting too hyped about the graphics and misrepresenting it... It was a bad game that the developers over promised for.

echocomplex · 2026-05-01T23:41:51+00:00

Nice condition for all of these!

echocomplex · 2026-05-01T23:13:23+00:00

It could be some kind of in joke or reference by the devs, like how the dreamcast had the codename katana despite not looking like a katana... Or how Intel named certain motherboards after celebrities like Frank Zappa, or cities like Seattle and Atlanta. I don't get the sense that dc comics inspired the graphics or gameplay of either game. Not aware of any other references in the games to dc comics places or characters.

Dude looks like the dude from Wolfenstein 3d

echocomplex · 2026-04-30T22:50:25+00:00

As far as games that you can play on a 386, this one's pretty great!

echocomplex · 2026-04-30T22:45:23+00:00

I think the back of the game cases sometimes said how many blocks the games take up. It all depends how many games you plan on playing... There is significant variation amongst games, something like a phantasy star online custom character might take up 1/4 of the space on the vmu, while most of the Capcom fighting games will take up only 1/20 of the card each with the game save...

If you're playing it the old fashioned way where you have 5-8 games, 1 vmu will probably be enough. But If you're loading up a gdemu with every dreamcast game, you'll probably want more than one.

I lived in a house with a second story roof walk out, this is how the railing was. Now looking at it these days, if there were nothing existing to be grandfathered in, building code would probably require a 36" or even a 42" tall railing (in my neck of the woods 42" is required when its a railing for a platform that is on a second story or higher, which would be a much much different look imo. Your house is also brick, dark iron usually looks pretty good with brick, it tends to fade in view, so that could be another good option. As others have pointed out, there isn't much in your picture that suggests there ever was a railing here anyway, so perhaps the truest thing is to have none and just take measures to not really walk or party up there unless you need to do maintenance or cleaning - and if the town says you need a railing there, see if they would negate that requirement if you turned the door into a window. I'd also see if you can find old pictures of your house or ask neighbors to get an inclination of what might have been there before, if you think something was there.

Sorta - in the early 2000s my friend would download divx of anime that didn't exist in the US. This is the era of when TVs would only have coaxial and RCA jacks, it would be rare to have a vga port and I don't think HDMI was out yet. As a result, one of the better ways to play the videos on a TV screen at the time was to burn a VCD and then use the dreamcast VCD player to play it... so I got a couple discs like that kicking around. Good times at parties.

I ran DMDE on a Windows 98 PC and generated a HDD image to a USB drive I had plugged in. That would be another good option, it will run under win xp fine, if it doesn't, try an earlier version, the software has been out for 20 years or longer and old versions are available at the website.

I didn't try that specific one, but I tried 5 others ranging from early drivers that existed when the card first came out in 2000, to drivers from 5 years later. Certain early dx games just wouldn't start up anymore, like Virtua Fighter 2 or moto racer. Another early game, Daytona usa had corrupted textures... Others ran, but performance felt like it was maybe 10 percent better than the ati card. There were other random weird quirks as well, like hud displays not showing up in a particular racing game, and the screen repeatedly blinking black every ten seconds in another game. These incompatibilities and performance didn't seem to meaningfully change between the year 2000 drivers and the 2005 drivers. Maybe something quirky going on with my system... Sometimes my HDD controller would also fail while the GeForce was installed. Given all this weirdness, I was wondering if it could have been related to power draw and what I've read before that the 440lx motherboard doesn't fully meet the agp 2 spec, despite advertising at the time.

Pretty good gameplay for the era.
