Hi guys, I'me Frédo, French player of Virtual ON: Oratorio Tangram, I'm a huge fanatic of this game (I recievd my twin stick a few days ago after years of pad, it freakin' rox !). I play with the JAP version (ver 5.45) on my PAL Dreamcas thanks to a boot CD.
This is my gaming station Razz http://fredo.sausage.free.fr/Photos/TwinStick2.jpg

Ok then ,this is my problem, I discovered a few days ago some thing called "cust-plus" created by a certain Scott Robinson, and it is supposed to allow me to play with my custom VRs in different modes.

So I downloaded the DiscJuggler image file, I burned it successfully (quite slowly, 16x) , but of course it didn't work. I tried to boot it with Utopia, but it still didn't work.

As I'm a huge fan of VOOT, and as I have a lot of custom VRs ,I would really like to use cust plus, so please, could somebody explain me clearly (don't forget I'm French Laughing ) how to use it ?

Thank You ^ ^

By the way, are there here other French players of VOOT ?

Thank you, but that's where I got the DiscJuggler image of Cust-Plus and it didn't work .So before trying again, I'd like to be completely sure that it will work.
(this site doesn't give any clues about how to use Cust Plus, of course -_-' )


In fact I'd like to have the answers to these precise questions:

- does cust-plus work with a European Dreamcast ?
- does it work with VOOT ver 5.45 ? (JAP)
- which image shall I burn ? (there are a DiscJuggler image, a Nero image and an ISO in the zip)
- how shall I boot the CD ? ( does it boot himself ? can I use Utopia Boot CD or the CD-X ?)
- does it work with a VGA box ?
- supposing it works, can I use it to play with my custom VRs in 1 Player mode? or only in Versus mode ?

thank tou, any answer to these questions will be usefull

you should try burning the image at a lower speed. When I burn stuff for the DC I tend to burn at either 4x or 8x.

Yes. The site says only US and JP because the game wasn't released on Europe.

I don't know. It works with 5.66

Personally I prefer the DiscJuggler image. It's easier for me Very Happy

It should be selfboot

I don't know much about ver 5.66, is it the US version ?

By the way, JKKDARK, it seems that you also have a Dreamcast PAL, have you tried it yourself ? if it works for you, then it should also for me , no?

Unfortunately, I can't burn the image under 16x because of the version of DiscJuggler I have

It's definately the burn speed. Dreamcast has problems reading discs burned at 16x or higher. Just download the discjuggler trial and that will force it to burn at 1x which is how I burn all my discs.

Thank you, these are encouraging answers ^_^

Ok, so I should burn my CD at a slower speed, and it should be autoboot and work on a PAL Dreamcast (I have to find something to burn it at a slower speed now).

Hum there is something weird. Confused

As Cust Plus is autoboot, it would mean that I could'nt use my Boot CD to boot Virtual ON , how could it work on my PAL DC without the Boot CD ? does Cust-plus act as a Boot CD or something like that ?

I think you can use it as a boot-disc with your VOOT (my VOOT is autoboot,may be he doesn't work with yours)

ooooooooooooooooookay ...

I've try again, burning the nero image at 8x (the slowest I can) , and guess what ? of course, it still doesn't work !

All I have is that stupid music menu of a CD that has no soundtrack, great.

I tried booting it with Utopia, no result

I tried booting it with Gameshark's CD-X, I had a slight hope when I saw that orange swirl (shall I recall that PAL DCs have a blue swirl) but at the end ,I'm back to that music menu...

Anyway, I'm not gonna try again until I have the proof that it can work on a PAL DC
