can anyone post a link to any homebrews they know of for the DC?

i just got streets of rage 4 working and man, thats a well done game!!

EDIT:

Good Homebrews
Inhabitants - this is a sweet puzzle game, i know its a total rip off of a game but i cant put my finger on what.

Beats of Rage - THE homebrew, its a sidescrolling beat-em up with heavily edited King of Fighters Characters as the characters.

Bad Homebrews
now before i get flamed for this, i admire anyone who can program at this level. however these games just arnt that much fun or are very shallow.

Battery - its a 2d polygonal fighting game, with three characters, black ninja, red ninja and rainbow ninja...theres only about 5 or 6 moves, but its not awful. download if youre curious

Megaman X: Odyssey - this one was confusing, from what i can tell u controll megaman in a platforming maze...maybe looking for a goal? i played it for about 10 mins and i couldnt find a goal...so good luck!

Beats of Rage MODS are pretty kick ass, I specially like the megaman mod.

i use 120% alcohol, and just download the discjuggler files.

i have no idea how to burn raw files

:lol:

I don't even know what you're talking about, but I'm assuming you're referring to .pt1 .pt2 .pt3 etc. files which you have to combine before burning as they're useless alone.

yeah, those are .rar files. you have to downlaod and install WinRAR, which is pretty much like WinZip, but with better compression technologies. then you just unpack the archives and they become a disc image.

go to rarlabs.com for winrar. its a sweet app.

the beats of rage is cool, Feet of Fury has a demo that you can burn. I didn't really like FoF all that much, but I bet the DDR fans would get a kick out of it.

for all your DC needs
