Dino Crisis
Dream Resurrection
Dream Resurrection or DCRES is a project maintained by TuxTheWise. The goal is making high quality releases, caring about dummy (faster loadings), file order (GD or custom that makes loadings faster and reader noise quieter), downsampling (the best quality with available space) and selfboot. Please always see readme files of each game, they always have important information. Feedback? Suggestions? Problems? Fell free to send a PM.

Dino Crisis (NTSC-U)
--------------------
Ripped: Nothing.
Downsampled: A movie re-encoded (no quality loss, read below).
Source: GD dump.
This game had movies encoded on a high bitrate, and even with dummy the read speed in inner part
of disc was not enough to play them correctly. My first thought was downsampling them. However, I
found a way to maintain them intact. I moved them to the "faster" area of the disc, so they could
be played correctly without downsampling. The only problem for that was moving game files to the
"slower" area, but file order was optimized and a nice dummy file could be added so reading speed
is good enough for having almost no loading times.
The only exception for movies was a little one played in corner of credits screen in the end of
the game. I have re-encoded it with pratically zero quality loss, you won't notice anything.
This game originally did not support VGA-Box support, but I have enabled it and it's working
fine. The only problem is that videos are not shown if you're using VGA. There is nothing I can
do about it.
Have fun with another high quality release of DCRES.
Features of my release:
- Videos untouched (except one).
- Not corrupted files at all, it was made with GD dump files.
- Dummied for 700mb CDs. It means faster loading times.
- Used GD file order. It means faster loadings and less Dreamcast reader noise.
- Selfboot.
About the game:
- It has VGA Box suppor enabledt. However, movies won't be shown if you're using VGA.
Other comments:
- "Extras" folder in the pack contains some useless stuff.
- Release comes with covers.

Save the text below with .sfv extension and open with any SFV checker. I recommend RapidCRC.

Extracting files:
Use 7-zip. For unpacking the RAR files inside archive, you can use WinRAR.
Burning files:
Alcohol 120% probably can burn all extensions, but I recommend Disc Juggler for CDI files.
