Pica Pic: Play Handheld Games Online



Well recently I decided to give Stumbleupon a try cause you can find some pretty interesting sites that they find automatically.  Pica Pic is one that I came across at first I had no clue what it was.  Then I took a second look and found out its a site where you can play a collection of handheld games that were released in the 70's, 80's and 90's.  Some of the games include the Game & Watch series released by Nintendo and include a online score board.  What a trip down memory lane obviously some of the games aren't that playable and that is cause handheld games were never that playable to begin with.

If you want to play some of these amazing games check out this link: http://www.pica-pic.com

Dreamcast SD Adapter



Just wanted to tell everyone what this SDISO madness is about.  For you new Dreamcast users SDISO's is a file image which is simply used for a SD Adapter.  Yes a SD Adapter it plugs into your Dreamcast's Serial Port and allows you to play homebrew games and the odd Commercial back up.  I will state though it does play some commercial games for the most part it causes issues for the following reasons CDDA (CD Audio) and what this does is cause lag in the games cause the SD Card can only go so fast at loading your game and playing music so it will cause lag in the game.  However most if not all homebrew games are compatible with the SD Adapter and there is a lot of great games in which or course you can find some on this blog site currently.

What you'll need in order to use your SD Card with the Dreamcast is of course the adapter, you'll also need the Dreamshell operating system and a SD ISO creator .  You'll need to use the SD ISO creator to make ISO files the one that's available at the DCSwat website has a Data folder which is where you will put games primary files.  Once you have done that Create Iso and your ISO will be created and you can put it on your SD Card.  Dreamshell can be used with both CD-Rom and SD Card.  Dreamshell is pretty simple to use first you'll have to download the software it'll come with a .cdi image which can be burned to cd-rom with IMGBurn or any other burning software that supports Disc Juggler Images.

Next there is a folder which will go on your SD Card.  So what you'll need to do is put the SD Adapter in the Dreamcast along with the SD Card.  Put the Dreamshell disk into the Dreamcast and power it on you'll be presented with a screen to what you want to boot with so obviously you're going to want to boot from SD Rom.  You'll eventually get to the Dreamshell desktop if you want to boot your SD ISO games just click on File Manager or ISO Loader.  I don't know what the difference between the two are but I found File Manager worked better so I would recommend using that to boot your ISOS.

You can buy a SD Adapter at this following link:Tek Novo Ebay Store

You can find Dreamshell and the SD ISO Maker at: http://www.dc-swat.ru/page/download/

IMGburn is used to burn the .cdi files and you can find it here: http://www.imgburn.com/

What you need to know about OEM Licenses



Okay I'm posting this cause I came across an issue with my OEM licenses for Windows 7 and Windows 8 Upgrade.  At first I was thinking it wouldn't be such a problem to get it reactivated for my new mobo of a different brand cause well I did pay for it.  I have also had times where I need to reactivate my games and well that was fixed.  But  for Windows no it doesn't work out that way OEM licenses are tied to the systems they are first installed on and cannot be used on other computers.  I called Microsoft plenty of times I got one person who said if you paid for the OEM license you should be able to use it on another computer.

I said it won't work and he said it will.  I said "I keep seeing I can't use it on this computer cause its being used on another computer".  He said to me again "sir it can be used on another computer if its not a Dell, HP or any other commercial brand PC.  If its custom made it will work on any PC".  I said to him again "listen it doesn't work that way it keeps telling me.....)  He hung up on me.  I call back very angry and told a new customer service representative that I was hung up on and I want to speak to a manager.  He said who was dealing with you and I said "I don't know who it was but he hung up on me".

He then asked me about my issues and directed me to Microsoft Customer Service.  I know if I go to them I will continue to have issues.  I contacted other Microsoft reps they said you can only use it on one PC.  I tried phone activating same thing it can only be used on one PC.  So folks here it is only get OEMS if you are only going to buy one PC cause it will not work on a new one that means do not get a new different brand motherboard and expect it to work.  Don't think Microsoft will help you with the issue cause it will go in one ear out the other.

DCeric's Review: Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter

DCeric's Review: Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter


Well I got another review here for you today this time for a gadget that would have been extremely helpful to me but it turns out it runs through the dirt.  Now what I was going to use this gadget for was to capture Dreamcast in upscaled 720p.  If you didn't know this already the Dreamcast used a VGA cable which enhanced the picture from 480i to 480p.  A lot of people probably would think to themselves "well this wouldn't do much" well your wrong cause it really does a good job on even newer High Definition tv screens.

Anyways not back on topic the Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter can be used to upscale from 480p to 720p.  Not only is it good for that but you can also use it with a Hauppauge HD PVR for capturing.  That sounds great right WRONG!!!!.  So this is how you get it all connected its a simple as ever.  Connect the VGA cable to the VGA Input and use Component and Audio cables out to the Hauppauge HD PVR (or a tv without capture).  Once connected in order for you to make it work with the Hauppauge you'll have to set it to 720p by pressing the mode button on the Linkstyle HD Component to VGA Converter.

For some reason the Hauppauge will not pick up the 480p resolution and I'm not sure about the 1080i resolution so your forced to use 720p.  Next up its time to power up the Dreamcast and wait for the game to load.  Once the game is loaded you now get very angry cause the intention of using this device wasn't only so you can play games in an upscaled 720p its so you can show your Youtube viewers better quality Dreamcast videos.

So with the picture below you'll see the problem i'm having I am going to note this only once the scanlines are from the VGA Adapter I'm using for the Dreamcast not the Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter.  But what you do see is noise and of course beautiful purple dots which really take your attention off the game itself.  I could put up with the noise but i won't be putting up with purple dots.  This was given to me as a gift cause I couldn't think up of anything better then making perfect quality Youtube videos and that has been destroyed.


Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter: enlarge to see the Purple dots (scanlines are from VGA Adapter)


So this was the biggest disappointment with this gadget but yet there is some more problems.  I decided to actually open the unit to see if there was an issue inside.  Funny thing is this gadget packs in a lot of heat so there has to be issues some where and that is why I got some more pictures to show you.  The VGA Input and Outputs are starting to ca-rode and even two inputs of the Component is starting to ca-rode as well.

                                                  (Ca-roded Vga Input and Output)


                                                     (Ca-roded Component Input)




So there you have it I believe this would explain my bad distaste and dislike for this horrible gadget. I actually came across the Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter through a video on Youtube by Adam Koralik.  He shown how brilliantly it works and from what I seen he had no issues.  Mine could be a defected unit which of course of means you have to be really careful when purchasing this item so you don't come across the issues shown in this review.

I have spoken spoken to Adam Koralik about this item and he said he didn't see an issue with his but he highly recommended using the VGA to HDMI instead it performs much better.  I can't review that one cause I don't have it but I will be posting both his videos down below so you can see what they are both supposed to do.  But I highly recommend bypassing the Linkstyle Component to VGA Converter it was a waste of money and I still don't have anything to show better quality with my Dreamcast video games :(.

DCeric Play's: Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst with Andy from Midwestslackers (Runes Quests Pt.7)

As usual me and Andy from Midwestslackers did another stream last night with Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst.  We weren't sure if we were prepared for the final Government Quests and of course we weren't.  We were able to finish the first quest but we need to level up more so were able to destroy enemies faster and collect data from these things that look like ice sculptures.  Well we will try again tonight cause my cousin will hopefully be joining and having 3 people should help us complete it.

DCeric Gets THE HANZO!!!!!



Thats right today I got my hands on a very special item called Hanzo.  I refer to it as The Hanzo cause it demands that sort of respect.  What this item does is allow you to play Dreamcast with a VGA cable which enhances the picture quality in 480p.  The device also allows you to play games in 480i for those games that don't support the VGA cable.  Yes that's right the only downfall to this item like all other VGA cables for the Dreamcast is there is only a select few games that don't support it.  No need to worry though cause the list of games that do support it look amazing on any LCD, LED, or Plasma screen.

This device also has a few other amazing features which include a scanline inducer which means those old fighter games that looked better on a CRT with scanlines can now look amazing on any of the new TV's that don't have scanlines.  The other features include thick or thin scanlines and a light or dark feature.  I would say thin scanlines is the best way to go and some games prefer the dark setting and look more realistic.

If you would like to learn more about Hanzo visit www.assemblergames.com. Register to the forums and click this link Dreamcast VGA box & Scanline generator.Here is some screens unfortunately I have to use my crappy upscaler so you'll see noise in some of the pictures and some blue dots so i'm warning you that this isn't from the Hanzo itself.

(UPDATE) They now have a website where you can purchase the product http://www.beharbros.com/#!hanzo/c1gph

DCeric Play's: Tetris Friends (Browser Gaming)



Well I had some more time to play some video games today so I decided to play Tetris Friends which can be played at www.tetrisfriends.com.  I'm a pretty good player but I start having issues as I get to rank 14 and my wrists starting to hurt cause of where they have to be positioned to play the game.  I'm a big Tetris fan and I've been told i'm a pretty insane player so that is why I decided to bring it forward to people during a Twitch play of the game.

Yes the video has its quirks like its last but very minor I have multiple screens show up during breaks thats cause of the window selection of the screen I have chosen and I have to keep switching back and forth from Tetris Friends to Twitch to see the live chat.  Anyways enjoy the video if your a fan of Tetris you might like what you see.

Alright folks here is my first rough work on Twitch well one of many but this one is by far the greatest one i have done so far.  It does contain some mild coarse language and hopefully in the future my videos will contain none as long as the games themselves don't piss me off.  As said being one of the first videos I still have quirks to work around that including some audio issues mostly the muffling with the mic however its not as bad as a previous video I did.  I still gotta learn how to do these videos and I would like to have some guests with me as well.  So enjoy what I have here and prepare for some more great videos.

The DCeric Show Twitch is now ALIVE!!!!

Well I bet you the people who view this blog site from time to time thought I was dead.  No but because of some health issues at the moment things are going a little slow.  No need to worry but when ever I get the energy to do another video on Youtube I will.  But i think to create more fun and a really easy setup was to setup a Twitch account.  I still have somethings to work on and that is to setup my Hauppuage Capture device as well as my VHS to DVD capture devices (which captures the old consoles).

I'm not live now but when I do I will let you all know but keep this website in your bookmarks and prepare for a good time.
