Found a nice little disk image for the Dreamcast with a shedload of old Amiga and AtariST chip tunes, mostly from games and by industry vets like Rob Hubbard, Jochen Hippel, and Anders Nilssen. There's even my old fave TCB Tracker tune 'Scoopex'. Definately worth checking out if you have Nero, a blank CD, and a Dreamcast (no need for a boot disk or anything like that).

You could just use DeliPlayer but that's not quite the same for DC owners I guess.

Ohh, never heard of Deli before now, looks like the media player for me! - I wonder if it supports TCB's awkward format.

The point wasn't getting the music player though, but all the ripped tunes in one place through one system. I love my dreamcast, it's really just a retro machine now, running emulators and the occasional game of Bustamove4 and UT. I have a PS2 and X-Box plus a few old crusty consoles, but for me the Dreamcast has a certain charm that Mr.Sony and Mr.Gates would'nt know.

Rich,
Dude you need a Dreamcast. The SNES and DC controllers are fairly identical making it ideal for emulating SNES and NES games - then you throw in a keyboard and make it ideal for Spectrum games too. Monitors seem to make emulated games look worse in my book, there's nothing like an old crappy TV for that retro feel .

Van - the DC has quite a bit of a resurgence going on, new games still coming out in JP for it, but it just never interested me really. I have a MD and SNES emulator for my PS2, but they're just too slow to be any good. If I see a good cheap DC I might consider it

Deliplayer rocks and I have all of those tunes already in one place - my hard drive!

Cheers,

Rich

DC emulates the SNES perfectly. I got mine (new) for $50. I love thanks-giving discounts.
