Why are Dreamcast homebrews so expensive?
palmer6strings:
Well, for HOMEBREW only which is legit... In a sense. It's really easy to do. I've done a few, most are pretty bad but some are really good. So if you need help just hit me up and I can try to direct you where you want to go.
Superchop:
To answer the original question, games like Gun lord were never official releases and the people that made the game only made so many physical copies. With such a limited run and the dreamcast having a fairly big following prices of those games stay pretty high all the time.

I sent you a PM
OhhNoYouNintenDidnt:
As far as Im concerned.......if mods here have a problem with pirating, then that would be pretty strange as essentially EVERYTHING we do here (from zombi'ing and using art for our covers we do not own, to many people who make covers for games they do not own legally) is a form of piracy.
So yeah, as long as we arent posting direct links to downloads on the boards that some company could come along and say we are directly promoting game piracy, then we should be fine.
Also, as far as these Homebrew games.........these ARE pirate games in effect to begin with! lol, unofficial games made by unauthorised developers who are exploiting a fundamental flaw in the DC.
As for covers..........youre in luck Einhander! as I have been and am still making covers for these games!......we have a few hosted on here like Castlevania: Symphony of Destruction and a few others. I will be making a Fast Striker one soon so anything else you want, let me know via a request in my thread (linked in my signature below) and either will be or can make whatever you want.
Ohh and do not worry about the download, its simple, easy and safe as long as you are using the right host (which I am sure you are being linked to via PM right now).
But I specifically wanted Gunlord and Sturmwind (two we dont have, one you want and one you SHOULD want!) and so here they are for you man =
Gunlord - Region Free (Added English Translation) N.G. Dev - Black and Orange Custom
Sturmwind - Region Free (Added English Translation) - Black and Orange Custom
Ohh and here is my Alien vs Predator one that I just love and am particularly proud of, as an incentive for you to get this awesome and never ported to home console game! ;D
Alien vs Predator (Beats of Rage Engine) - NTSC/Region Free - Custom

Very nice work, impressed. I also wrote you a request in your thread.
Also, do you know anything about disc (cd) covers? I read something about people printing disc covers. Have no idea how you would cut and paste the art onto a disc.
