Shock2-Beta For Dreamcast Found.

Well the guys not posted in over 2 months. Hope something good comes of it. And the fact that the maps were left in their native .mis format is always something.

Just hope its not all a big hoax or somethin. How come hes not uploaded the files online for everyone else to have a look at?

Lazyness? People tend to put the internet on a back burner and forget its even there if they have more pressing matters. There thousands of blogs, files, etc. out there that got halfway done and will never be finished because the OP dosen't care.

That said, I heartily endorse this concept.

So? Any news? Where can we download content of this dreamcast hdd?

Nowhere. That guy who found it is still busy getting his cock sucked over at dreamcast-talk.com.
Doesn't really matter though as the chances of getting it to run on a DC are slimmer than posh spice.

Looks like the files have now been uploaded. (Mothra has just (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133250) started a thread in the thief forums)

Neat! Here's the direct link to the download directory:

Yeah, definitely a work in progress. I'm guessing "MFG toggle" was supposed to be "(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-function_display) MFD toggle".

The .SFD files in the archives are (http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Sofdec) Sofdec video files. Basically MPEG-1 with a custom audio codec. Media Player Classic will actually play them, albeit without audio. Looks like they were just transcoded from the Indeo files instead of the originals, unfortunately.

Seems like there are no unstripped missions :nono:

Wow...those controls suck. But yeah, probably a WIP.
But no unstripped missions or even better video files? Crap. I guess now it's more of a novelty than anything.

you can start a game, load a game, change ingame settings, play a multiplayer game and view the help screen which is a picture of a Dreamcast controller with the button assignments (similar to what you see when you play a demo of a game)
