This is the Official FAQ Thread. In here, i will post all of the questions that seem to come up once a month here on OC. Please only post Questions and Answers in this thread, and i will update this original post as often as i can with the questions that are answered. Lets not put questions about connecting to the net or other tech questions, as they will be better answered in the Network Tech section. I have already gotten approvial to do this from Lordnikon.


1) Where can i download Half-Life/Propeller Arena/PBA Bowling/Flinstones Viva Rock Vegas?
a) Download Bittorrent from http://www.bittorrent.com/
b) Go to http://dcforums.net , register there, then go to the Dreamcast Torrents Section, then go to Dreamcast Releases. Usually these games get posted on there about once a month. When the one you are looking for comes up, click on the torrent link at the bottem of the post. The Bittorrent program should start downloading the file.


2) How to burn the file.
a) It has probobly been rared. To un-rar it, you will need winrar. Download Winrar at http://www.rarlab.com/ . Once you get Winrar, just double-click on the file you downloaded to extract it. This should leave you with an image file.
b) Download Alcohol 120% Trial from http://trial.alcohol-soft.com/en/download_120.php
c) Burn the file using Alcohol 120%.


3) What is the difference between Half-Life and Half-Life Gold?
There is no difference in the game itself. When Game ripper ECHLON ripped Half-Life, they titled the file "Half-Life Gold".


4) Where can I Download the Bleemcast Beta?

7) What games are still online for the Dreamcast?

8 ) Why cant we just make new servers for (Insert previously-online game here)?
Its not easy, and few people have the coding knowledge to reengineer the game and create servers for it. Its just not possable, so dont ask. If there is any chance, Lordnikon is already working on it.

9) Why dont we talk about Homebrew PSO Servers.
Read this artical: http://dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4022

10) Is Half-Life/Propeller Arena/PBA/Flinstones Legal?
The way I see it, no one is loosing money off of them being downloaded, so Yes. The only exception is, i think anyone who downloads Half-Life should own the PC or PS2 version of the game. But thats just me. Rolling Eyes
