Disk swapping was mostly only used very early on (prior to the bootdiscs) as a method of playing imports, and there were a couple ways to do the swap while the disc was not spinning.TrevHead (TVR) wrote:the disk swop trick
Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
I think my Dreamcast still has the internal battery disconnected, way back from they days of "safe" disc swapping.

Message to the devs. Please tone down on the green on main character and enemies. Other than that, looks great. Keep up the good work and very noble to keep the dc and neo alive
Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
I might be the only one that likes the green enemies :(

This does look indeed awesome - I also get a strong Amiga 500 vibe from it. Those guys have been getting really good at pixel graphics.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
Can I beg for a 16:9 mode of some sort? If the game scrolls just show more width. I'd be much happier seeing the whole (or at least 80%) of a 16:9 screen visibly utilized. I think thats one of the biggest turn offs of using retro equipment with 16:9 HDTV's.
For me this is a deciding factor on if I buy the game or not.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
I was hoping we'd get more screenshots and videos long before the pre-orders start, but ah well. Looking forward to seeing what the game will be like.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Knowing them, they will tell you to get a 4:3 CRT since they basically make Neo-Geo games. Hence the name, NG:Dev.Team.neorichieb1971 wrote:Can I beg for a 16:9 mode of some sort?

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
I have a 4:3 TV, but I ain't playing no long winded game on a setup that is temporary. Considering its a simple coding parameter to show more width I don't see a problem. I'd rather just plug the DC into my TV and start playing anytime I want.doctorx0079 wrote:Knowing them, they will tell you to get a 4:3 CRT since they basically make Neo-Geo games.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
Does the DC output any widescreen modes? If not, you want them to code an anamorphic option into the game? (I've seen the latter done in some 3D titles but I dread to think what the picture would look like on a 2D game)

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
From what I know, SD consoles don't output any specific widescreen picture as such. 16:9 is usually just anamorphic picture rendered at the exact same resolution as 4:3 and displaying it at correct aspect ratio is up to the TV (hence the stretched pixels). Even Jet Force Gemini for the N64 supports widescreen.cools wrote:Does the DC output any widescreen modes?
That said, I'm not sure if one of Burnouts for the first Xbox doesn't run in "true" widescreen mode. Also, modded consoles just might output some unusual resolutions.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
That Sega Ferrari F360 game has a 16:9 mode on the Dreamcast (polygons though).
So a DC cannot do 16:9 in hardware? There are about 12 games that support 16:9 on the system.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
I'm no specialist, but I don't think those games produce an actual widescreen resolution. Instead, they cram more of the image horizontally into the regular 640x480, so that a TV set to wide will stretch things back to the normal proportions.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
Thats a shame.
I will opt out then. Unless I can find a really small 4:3 TV with RGB.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
Why not a decent-sized 4:3 CRT with S-Video? That's how I roll.
Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
For a 2D game to do anamorphic widescreen, they'd have to redraw every sprite for the different ratio. Get real.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
If it's a sidescroller, it can just show more stuff on screen at once without redrawing anything. Konami's Gradius Deluxe Pack and Sexy Parodius sort of did that, to a lesser extent.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
A bigger version of the cover was posted on neo-geo today. It's just big enough to make out the new screenshots on the back cover (just noticed one on the spine as well!).
Have to say, the front cover illustration is boss. Would love to see it poster size.

Re: NG Dev Team announce GunLord for Neo-Geo and Dreamcast
Wouldn't be anamorphic then. Anamorphic means you're using the same resolution as 4:3 mode, but displaying it in 16:9, meaning the pixels won't be shown in a 1:1 ratio. (or whatever ratio the game is made to work with)Obiwanshinobi wrote:If it's a sidescroller, it can just show more stuff on screen at once without redrawing anything.
