Quake 3 Arena
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.

Dreamcast Resurrection - 2009 (since 2008)
===================================================================================================
Check for more releases at these forums (search for user "TuxTheWise"):
snesorama.us (all releases, see my signature)
segahub.org (recent releases)
dreamcast-talk.com (recent releases)
===================================================================================================
NOTE: I've seen some people uploading my releases in other servers. I recommend you always getting
my releases of my uploads in the forums above, because sometimes I release fixes or re-launch some
games that have problems. If you get my uploads you'll be sure of having the latest releases.
Additionally, you'll get the original package, not images made from discs, so you'll be sure that
nothing is corrupted.

Quake 3 Arena (NTSC-U)
----------------------
Ripped: Nothing.
Downsampled: Nothing.
Source: GD dump and Echelon's release.
I took main binaries from Echelon's release because this game is kind hard to hack. Everything
else was taken from GD dump. Of course CDDA is working. A dummy file was added and file order was
optimized, so loadings are very fast now.
Features of my release:
- CDDA working.
- Not corrupted files at all, it was made with GD dump files.
- Dummied for 700mb CDs. It means faster loading times.
- Used custom file order based on GD's. It means faster loadings and less Dreamcast reader noise.
- Selfboot.
About the game:
- It has VGA Box support.
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.
