NeoGeo CD games are relatively cheap to come by on ebay (but not all), but the systems will run up quite a bit, especially for the CDZ (I'm still on the lookout for one of these babies). There's supposedly a boot disc for the Sega Dreamcast that will boot these games up and run them via emulation. I'm not sure if the bios is included on the disc, if the bios is made from scratch, or whatever, but essentially no ROMs of any type are on it. Would that be classified as privacy? A disc of like 600 Roms (do you seriously have ALL 600 of those games in a drawer or something? Didn't think so) is one thing, but what about this? I personally think it's piracy for the BIOS, IF it's official BIOS, but if not, would it be? --- End quote --- Never heard of that but was this boot disc produced or endorsed by Sega? ;D ::) --- End quote --- I don't think so, although it could be since the NeoGeo Pocket was all-up-ons with the Dreamcast, but I really don't know. I'd have to look into it. |

Are you guys talking about that commercial dreamcast-based playstation emulator called Bleemcast? That's the only boot-disc thing I can think of that was an official release. Sega didn't care about it, but Sony sure did, sued the company a couple of times. Sony lost those lawsuits, but the court costs effectively put the company that made Bleemcast out of business. It only ever ran a handful of games, but according to the courts it was 100 percent legal. |

They are talking about a bootsisk for NeoGeoCD games that work in the same way as the Bleemcast. Answer: yes there is a bootdisk to play your NeoGeoCD games on the Dreamcast but it is unofficial and not an official sega product. (just google it ...snesorma ... cough) About the Bleemcast legality: Yes there were a few bleemcast discs manufactured that were legal but they were limited to Gran Turismo, Tekken 2 & Metal Gear Solid (saving doesn't work). After the courts ruled in Bleem's favor against Sony, Sony decided to buy out the company and hault production and recall those 3 discs and the Universal Bleemcast disc (never completely finished or officially released) that would play most of the PS1 titles on the Dreamcast. |

I never heard sony buying the company out, I always thought the court costs just killed them. |
