D2 [NTSC-U] [7 CDS] [SPLIT VERSION] [REPACKED (FIXED SLOW LOADING] [DCHQ] [CDI]

[lucasmilu]

DCHQ(Dreamcast High Quality)

Story

Sega has been fantastic about testing out new game types with American audiences and bringing over titles that may have been passed on by the more conservative Nintendo and Sony, Seaman being the prime example. But perhaps this whole import frenzy thing has gotten a little out of hand with the release of D2 in the US, a visually compelling but gaming snoozefest that will make you wonder exactly why Sega brought the title over to the states in the first place.
If you're looking for a solid sequel to the original D, you're not about to get one ¿ but then again, if you played the original spooky-but-confusing Myst clone, you probably aren't going to be all that surprised that its sequel far from resembles the original. In D2 you play as Laura, a businesswoman who looks more like a tourist who ends up being more like the world's savior, and who inexplicably seems to live in a universe where she's completely mute, but no one ever asks "why the hell won't you just say something?" She does talk by the way, though "off camera." Another inexplicable Warp quirk, I suppose. As you probably know from the preview, the game covers a lot of loopy fantasy/science territory, starting with the hijacking of the plane Laura's on by two violent terrorists, and then heading (literally ¿ the plane crashes) into the arctic wilderness of Canada, which also houses some local research centers and a lot of important clues as to why the dead passengers are turning into monsters, and why Laura's compact just happens to glow like the doorway in Poltergeist.

Yes, It is.

[lucasmilu]

Yes, It is.

The second GD was ripped with sucess, I uploaded it.

[Jumeogi]

I've been waiting for a decent D2 release for a long time. Finally, it arrived.
Thank you.

Post it on snesorama and then more Dreamcast lovers can play this game without problem.

Snesorama, like many other multiple console download sites, is a bit... crap.
They hype up their games as if they offer a wonderful service, for which you should be glad to endure popup's for. (I would think that the adverts would be quite enough)
128bit.me is a far better alternative to these sites although I can't for the life of me understand why they chose to offer dreamcast downloads, as it was originally an offshoot from segahub.

[Jumeogi]

A little head's up. I downloaded the game and then burned into a CD-R with 4x speed. Played flawlessly until I reached a truck. I went in to the vehicle the check it out(health, key etc). When i was about to leave the car suddenly something happened and the Dreamcast menu showed up. Tried it three times and it happened every time in the exact same place.

That sounds like the rip, but you should try burning it at max speed and see if you can get past that part, just to be sure. It seems like some games just like that better.

After you defeat the boss on the plane, you will wake up in the beginning of the game in the house, save your game and change the disc 1A to 1B before you leave of the house.

On the second disc 1B, you will go on the truck.

That's interesting because I was on the plane and NOTHING happened. No cutscene and fight like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbbiUzwphVk

I will burn it with a different write speed as Call_me_sir suggested and see what happens.

Re:

I tried it 40x speed with DiscJuggler not even started the game. Then I tried with 8x speed the game works but no boss fight in the plane.

Sorry to hear that.

[lucasmilu]

Sorry to hear that.

Look, after all animations at the start of the game, Follow the path until you find a small hut, enter and search, check the phone and the photo, go back to Kimberly's cabin and you will receive a key, leave and return again to the small hut, use the key you received in the closet, take all objects, and the main rod, Laura will take the radio automatically returns to Kimberly's hut, she put a tape and start listening to the game's theme song 'Counting the Roses' Kimberly goes to the window, Talk again with her, after the scene, get out of the hut and the radio will link. go to the airplane and search for a woman, She will turn into a monster.

Try again, I tested the link and it is working, other peoples did too.

[VasiliyRS]

Hello vevilos, this problem happens sometimes to me too when i download from mediafire... i think it depends of countries where we live in.
I suggest you to wait several days and if you wont be able to download it again it there will be a mirror for you.

[atreyu187]

I have been trying for days to finish this as I have most done but keep getting server unreachable for over a week now. Anyone got a mirror to this as I can't finish even with a premium account I bought hoping it would help. Nice work BTW I got disc 4 done and it plays just as well as my GD-ROM so I am looking forward to playing this without ruining my disc!!
