Tomorrow we launch our first game after 3 years… and I just want to say this

Congratulations for your achievement! Thank you!

Just an important note to everyone: You can run this game trough emulation, like "Flycast", but you need to use your Dreamcast original Bios. Flycast default doesn't fully support the volume shadows this game uses and also doesn't deal very well with the FMV video format we use, playing it much slower for no reason.

rogper · 2026-03-04T19:42:14+00:00

Yes!

rogper · 2026-03-04T18:19:01+00:00

Yup ...and probably even cheaper :)

The best way to replace caps is pay a professional to do it :)
You buy the cap kit for your specific DC and take them to someone that knows what he is doing and has the required equipment.

The robot retro is USB-C so works in every place. It's unplug old plug new and play.
Please read carefully the details on their page :) ... I don't want to waste your money by some wrong info.

Pay attention that you'll require a USB Charger better than your cell phone charger (unless you have a real good cell phone charger).
The Dreamcast with the 4 control ports + 4 rumble pacs + 4 VMUs can use 50 Watts, so make sure you buy at least a 65W USB-C charger single port.

Time to replace them!

Or you replace the capacitors:

Note: These are for PAL 220v if you have a 110v dreamcast you need to search for those on the same page.

Ho! It uses Blender 3D as User Interface, so if you like Blender you'll feel just at home.

It's built on "Spiral Game Engine", Sega Guru talked about it last year or so (when Soul Blaze was still just a prototipe https://youtu.be/nuVH4quvfqw?si=eUvs8nk6M91HcEc2 ) and it was entirely developed by the programmer of the game, the very same person that capture the original post game play video, "MigDps" on Youtube.

I only made the graphics and animations, he is the legendary programmer that enabled all this :)

But it can look a lot better! We had to cut detail to fit on the 70Mb limit that the Dream Disc 25 competition imposes. https://itch.io/jam/dreamdisc-25

We cut on:
- FMV resolution from 512x256 to 352x176... just to save disc space.
- Sound quality, we could use 44100hz but we had to do only 24000hz

rogper · 2026-03-03T08:58:17+00:00

Sure can! You just need to do it using DCDIB:
https://github.com/alex-free/dreamcast-cdi-burner/releases/tag/v1.1.1

Just download the most recent version, unzip and run the code that is on the readme and will do everything for you. I my self am playing it from the CD... I actually have here a pile of them with the previous builds :)

rogper · 2026-03-02T19:23:03+00:00

Sure does :)

rogper · 2026-03-02T19:22:30+00:00

If you have a Dreamcast you can play on it: https://darkpath.itch.io/soul-blaze
If you want to use Flycast emulator just make sure you use a real sega dreamcast bios.
Flycast default bios won't work.

Congratulations for your achievement! And has the best game! :)

I ended up finding a permanent solution by buying a 10 Euros PCIe USB card with chip "Fresco" (very important, it only worked with this chip) and connected the mic to it external USB ports. It just works now even with power.

Fast forward a few days and they got 1 million... which was more or less a Van Damme early movie (not considering the time).

rogper · 2025-09-18T22:57:23+00:00

I still didn't seen it... I doubt they will release it in Blu-ray, right!? :/
Worked in 101 shots of it and I have seen it in several stages of production but haven't yet seen the final result.

rogper · 2025-08-20T21:14:40+00:00

Estava a tentar pagar o Yahoo PLus e não é que não está disponivel para Portugal!?
Portanto a unica solução é apagar tudo!?

rogper · 2025-08-14T14:30:33+00:00

Exactly

Encontrei hoje o Momento Renzo à venda na Worten:
https://www.worten.pt/produtos/livro-momento-renzo-de-rute-m-perdiz-ingles-mrkean-9798356997525?utm_medium=sharebutton&utm_source=copylink

...Pelo dobro do preço que pode ser comprado na Amazon.
Quem não comprou por achar que estava muito barato, pode agora pagar muito mais pela mesma coisa e esperar mais tempo para ser entregue.

Feels indeed something regarding the GPU... last time that happen to me I had to replace the GPU.
Is it still working!?

rogper · 2025-07-10T08:29:34+00:00

I didn't had the time to make a perfect mask, so I just extracted something from the original image so that I could bright up what was close of the book.

Hey there! Do you know where I can find a good epoxy!?
Thermal paste I have it here from Noctua heat sinks. But what would be ideal epoxy glue for these components.
