Default (DC) Tech Romancer [NTSC-U][CDI][SB]

If you want to play this game, try my newer version here instead of this one, video quality is better.


Tech Romancer
Dream Resurrection



Review by IGN

Features of this release:
- Made with files of original rarset of Kalisto's release and GD dump, so no corrupted stuff at all.
- No ripped stuff. Audio downsampled (by Kalisto), videos downsampled (by me, much better quality than Kalisto's release).
- Dummied for 700mb CDs (although dummy file is very small).
- Selfboot.
- File order is the same of GD, it means faster loadings and less Dreamcast reader noise.
- Extra folder with some useless files.

My release readme file:

Tech Romancer (NTSC-U)
------------------------------------------
Dreamcast Resurrection - 2009 (since 2008)

Check snesorama.us forums for more releases
-------------------------------------------
Ripped: Nothing.
Downsampled: Videos.
Source: GD dump and Kalisto's release files.

All the files of this game, except videos, are in a no standard format. This game is huge and Kalisto made a wonderful job (and what they did that wasn't?) downsampling this no standard audio format, so I just kept it this way. Then I got GD files, downsampled videos with a higher quality (because there was some space free in disc) and they got much better than Kalisto's. So I dummied, optimized original file order and burned it in selfboot format (of course). Have fun.

Features of my release:
- Not corrupted files at all, it was made with Kalisto's release files and GD dump.
- Used correct file order (same of GD), that was optimized later, what means faster loadings and less noise of Dreamcast reader.
- Selfboot.
- Dummied for 700mb CDs (although dummy file is very small).

About the game:
- It has VGA Box support.

Other comments:
- "Extras" folder in the pack contains some useless stuff.
- Release comes with covers.

   |  Today we bring you another quality title & rip. This time its Tech    |
   |  Romancer from Capcom ripped to perfection. This game had 1.2GB of     |
   |  data which was mostly custom formats. We had to downsample the audio  |
   |  to 22 KHZ and edit the EXE so it would adapt to that. Also all the    |
   |  FMV had its bitrate changed to make this monster fit. It now weighs   |
   |  in at 75 Minutes and an overburn is definitely possible. Enjoy        |
   |  another quality rip from your friends at KALISTO.                     |

   |  Put a high-tech robot through its paces in the fighting arena with    |
   |  Capcom's Tech Romancer for Sega Dreamcast. Eight different giant      |
   |  robots, each with their own pilots, histories, and modes of attack,   |
   |  can be piloted through arenas that are fully interactive. Power-ups   |
   |  can be discovered by destroying portions of the arena, but can also   |
   |  be lost if a powerful enough attack is made against your robot. The   |
   |  arenas are fully 3D, and a shifting landscape and camera angle helps  |
   |  pull you into the immersive environment. Damage and armor must be     |
   |  carefully managed, and knowing your 'bot's abilities can help you     |
   |  overcome even the most ruthless enemies.                              |
   |                                                                        |
   |  - Eight different robots, each with its own pilot or piloting team.   |
   |  - Multiple 3D arenas to fight in, on, and around.                     |
   |  - Smash arena obstacles to uncover hidden power-ups.                  |
   |  - Careful! A strong enough blow from your opponent can knock          |
   |    power-ups loose!                                                    |
   |  - Fly, roll, jump, walk and spin as you try to beat back the          |
   |    onslaught.                                                          |
   |  - Cinematic cut-scenes help you get to know the pilots and robots.    |

Checking files:
You can check if the file is not corrupted with CRC included in filename. Try RapidCRC.

Extracting files:
Use 7-zip or any program that can extract .7z extension.

Burning files:
Image is in CDI format made with Disc Juggler 4.1. You can download a demonstration copy here. I haven't tested, but Alcohol 120% probably can burn this image CD correctly. Use 700mb CD-R please.

---! ATTENTION REUPLOADERS !---

If you want to upload files in another servers I'll be very happy! I only ask you to not recompact (in multipart games, people may want to download parts from different servers) or change filenames (because of CRC). After you upload, please send me the link via PM and I'll insert here.
