Tech Romancer (E) [oRARs] [sb]

[darkNiGHTS]

Tech Romancer for the Dreamcast, original RARs from Kalisto.  Use the selfboot converter that is in the download box to make it selfboot. I've tested the creation of this game into a selfboot game, and it works.

I can't get http://storeandserve.com/download/805700/Tech_Romancer_%28U%29_%5Bkal-tech%5D.rar.html to download. When I try it ends up saying:
---

You don't have permission to access /Download/3/20070529/805700/Tech_Romancer_(U)_[kal-tech].rar on this server.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Im not sure why that didn't work for you, but this game just happens to be mirrored on this site.

::awesomely cheesy theme song::

I wish they'd have made a sequel to this.  It had promise if it had more time to get perfected.  Hajime Yatate doing mech designs was a HUGE plus.

::edit::

Come on, Macross fans.  The Rafaga?  The Wiseduck?  Something seems rather, oh, I don't know...similar?

[Psycho Sonic]

Yeah, the Store& Serve one's not working for me either, and the other mirror of this on SegaHub ain't workin (files got deleted). Can you reupload the file by any chance?

[darkNiGHTS]

Yeah, I'll reupload it.

[miketrix042]

a mirror is up


edit: i put up cd covers

[darkNiGHTS]

Reuploaded selfboot original RARs.

This is working well mike, great work.  We'll never have a dead download again .

[miketrix042]

thanks, i will try my best

Tech Romancer (Repack)
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.

Tech Romancer [NTSC-U] *Repack*

Dreamcast Resurrection - 2009 (since 2008)

-------------------------------------------
Ripped: Nothing (read below).
Downsampled: Videos (read below).
Source: GD dump and Kalisto's release files.

There was a big Karaoke video in the GD, but the american version don't play it for a obvious reason: everything is in japanese. Well, the problem is that I didn't know that when releasing the game for the first time, so I included that on CD and all the videos had to be downsampled a lot to fit the CD. In this repack I removed the karaoke video file, so the rest of videos almost fit the CD without downsampling. Well, I re-encoded them using VBR. As VBR gives higher quality for the same size, I could re-encode the videos at the same bitrate it was originally and make them fit on CD. Of course there was a little quality loss because of re-encoding process, but the quality is almost the same of the original videos. And I let the original audio of videos untouched. Result: videos of this repack have a much better quality than my first release.

Hey, and you got curious about the not-shown Karaoke video? I included it in "Extras" folder with the name KARAOKE.MPG. Video is untouched (I just de-multiplexed it from SFD and then multiplexed it back) and audio was encoded with a very high quality so you can have the same experience that japan players could have.

Ripped: Nothing.

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.

Checking files:
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.

[darkNiGHTS]

Thanks tux, it's good to have an up to date NTSC version.

[TuxTheWise]

Thanks tux, it's good to have an up to date NTSC version.

In fact is the PAL version, I made a mistake on the readme file -_-
It works fine in NTSC consoles anyway.
