Sega Rally 2 and CDDA (yep!!!)

Da1m0n · #1 23-03-2004, 21:05

For the coders and hackers among you, I have posted on suprnova.org (as well as dcforums.net) my very own rip of Sega Rally 2 (the US-NTSC version).

They said that one couldn't fit the game and its CDDA audio all on one disc, and I proved them all wrong. I've done it. Everything fits on an 80-minute disc (I posted a selfboot .cdi of the game).

Problem is, I have no experience hacking WinCE games to the point where the music will ACTUALLY PLAY DURING THE GAME.

So right now the game works fine but the audio is little more than dummy data for you to listen to.

So this is for all of you to try and make this game play the CDDA... and then, at long last, we can all enjoy a complete rip of this game. Or so I hope.

nice release

thanks

Do you think you can do anything with this rip? Enable WinCE/CDDA playback and such? That would so rock - just think, you and me doing a release together, giving each other the credit

WTF :P

You asked what you needed to download torrents from suprnova.org, and now that we told you, you go asking what's a good place to get torrents from.

hrb2k · #11 28-03-2004, 17:40

heh, what i meant was, are there any other sites than suprnova?

Da1m0n · #12 29-03-2004, 05:23

Torrent sites? Several, sure, but none of them are anywhere near as good as suprnova... I think just about everyone will tell you that.

That said, Google can probably answer your question best

YAY.!! my 100th post..!!

anyway, back to topic. i'm a noob to torrent files. how fast can downloads be? are the actual files on a server or on a persons hard drive??

Da1m0n · #14 31-03-2004, 19:20

Torrents (the small .torrent files) are hosted on servers or distributed via P2P. Each torrent is tracked by a tracker that your BitTorrent client connects to. The actual files that you download with the BT client come from other peers. Multiple ones at a time, that is. In a best-case scenario (and this isn't all that rare), you can download at several hundred KB per second... I got a 360KB/sec. download on a torrent once. Usually I get between 50-150KB/sec... which is very good I think.
