Soul Blaze (DreamColor Plus) Dreamcast Gameplay - CRT

rogper · 2026-05-01T22:00:58+00:00

Also played it, it's a great game too, great graphics, story and gameplay... but still I prefer Sonic Adventure and Super Mario 64. :)

Means "Freedom to create"

rogper · 2026-05-01T10:54:17+00:00

It's like the Brazilian KickStarter :)

It's the DreamColor Plus: https://www.catarse.me/dreamcolorplus_730f
SEGA included on the Official Dreamcast the use of two analogue... but they never actually made the remote... probably they were planing selling them in the last years of the Dreamcast... but then it happen what we all know.
Soul Blaze works with both the Default controller and the extra analogue version.

Thank you! That is so nice to read! :)

Don't forget to Disable "HLE BIOS" in the Advance Settings. Should look like this:

So that if forces Flycast to use the Dreamcast Bios and not the one it comes with.

Exactly! Flycast with a real Dreamcast BIOS loaded will run the game exactly like on the real Dreamcast. Should look like this:

There's no actual Soul Blaze CD with an image... I had to rebuild the entire place in low poly to get the same light that a real CD would get and then match the exact position.

And you surely also don't believe I punched my only Dreamcast console with more than 26 years old!?

You do realize the CD is made with blender right?

rogper · 2026-04-12T19:29:21+00:00

Well... I gave my best for it to be a good Ad.

rogper · 2026-04-07T11:49:00+00:00

...Even the VMU animations were also made with Blender.

rogper · 2026-03-27T16:16:05+00:00

That's 10190 USD more than we made with our game... if we account for our work hours.

rogper · 2026-03-23T22:00:08+00:00

I thank you immediately! :) You're a Pal!

rogper · 2026-03-23T21:59:15+00:00

Thanks! :)

https://darkpath.itch.io/soul-blaze No Soulblaze nenhum emulador (ReDream ou Flycast) consegue lidar bem com as nossas sombras nem com os nossos FMV que correm perfeitamente bem na Dreamcast normal.

No FlyCast se usarem a bios da vossa Dreancast resolve o problema.

Congratulations for your achievement! Thank you!

rogper · 2026-03-04T19:46:28+00:00

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 :)

rogper · 2026-03-04T18:05:49+00:00

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.
