DC++ guide ver 1

 

Okay, over time I have seen many many many people asking for cd (playstation, dreamcast etc) games and where they can download them so I thought I could help with this.

 

First off, no downloading cd games is not as easy as downloading a snes rom, you cant just click on a site and download and even if a site claims to do so 99.9999% of the time you will just be sent in circles and probably be bombarded with an influx of ads. Some people use kazza which can be decent at times but only a few select games will fully download since cd games isn’t really what kazza is used for. Also by using kazza you run the risk of downloading a virus when downloading games.

 

In order to download cd games you need a program called DC (Direct connect) ++. DC++ is a godsend for finding roms, isos, warez…in fact anything.

 

First off go and download the program, there are other types of direct connect such as neo-modulus direct connect but some hubs are anal to what type of DC you have so just stick with DC++.

 

Further help with DC++ Here- this guide will cover everything you need to get started fully illustrated with screenshots.

 

Okay first things first make sure the folder in which your files are being downloaded isn’t your share folder. Sharing incomplete files will get you kicked from any hub.

Second, do not share porn period. Almost all hubs have a no porn policy and if you have it in your share, you’ll be kicked or maybe banned. I wouldn’t recommend sharing installed programs either.

 

Now you have established your share click on the public hubs button (the first icon with the computer picture) and wait for the total hub list to load. Then filter the hub list with any keyword or enter the address if you have one to find the hub you are looking for. Make sure you require the minimum share of the hub you are in (it will be in the hub rules) and share things that are relevant to the hub you are in (so if you are in a movie hub make sure you actually have some movies in your share). Now that you are in a hub use the search feature to find what you are looking for. Remember that if you want to download something the user has to have a free slot, otherwise you will be in a queue.

 

And that’s basically it.

 

 

Advantages of DC++

 

-It cuts out all the crap, no renamed movies and the like that you would find on kazza.

-Romheaven! Particularly GBA roms.

-If you’re lucky enough to be download something from someone with a good connection, its damn fast.

-You can find almost anything else

 

 

Disadvantages

 

-You need to share quite a lot depending on the hub

-Don’t even jest about downloading if you have a dialup, you need a decent connection.

-Can be a bit confusing at first, neo-modulus direct connect is much easier to use but in the long run DC++ is better.

-Those god damned queues can last forever.

 

So basically if you have a bad pc don’t use DC++.

 

 

Some hub addresses I use quite a lot:

 

Empie.no-ip.com – Its an anime hub but it has so many users I use it for roms and warez too.

 

Classicsega.homeunix.com – A sega hub, I use it for roms mostly.

 

Hope that helps some people.

I think I will do that, once I get over my Lufia 2 jones, and now that I reached the Ancient Dungeon, I doubt that I ever will.

 

I still think that that game is the best RPG ever, in terms of the overall experience.

 

Hmm, whatever happened to Lufia 3, BTW?

Was released on the gamboy, and lufia 4 on the gba.

I don't consider the Gameboy and GBA version "true" sequels.

 

As BOTH of those games forget the legacy that was built.

 

Fuck, we never do find out about Arek in either one. And I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE FUCK HE WAS IN THE INTRO OF LUFIA 2~!

Luifa 1 hardly built any legacy. So you only have 1 sequel.

:) I had meant Lufia 2.

 

...or rather Lufia: The Prequel.

It would be cool for Lufia to be represented on the PS2, the size and depth to that game would be massive.

I downloaded ML5 with Mame and I can click on it and it starts automaticly, but how in the piss can I use a controller instead of my keyboard? I hit tab, but I am not able to submit any controlls for my controller.

Nevermind, I found it.

 

What other games would you suggest I play using Kawaks? I'm in the mood to try different games out today.

 

EDIT: I put the MS5 ROM in the rom folder in Kawaks, and then did a scan but it didn't find any ROMs for me to play. Just how do I start this thing then?
