The Sega Dreamcast is a console created by Sega in 1998. It was Sega's last game system before they became a third-party publisher.

Ripping Tools

Noesis

Main article: Noesis

This program can be used to rip the standard Dreamcast texture format (read below), or to rip Sonic Shuffle, Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage or Space Channel 5 models. It also has support for Skies of Arcadia's model format, although it always encounters errors every time a model from said game is opened.

Common File Formats

Most Dreamcast games tend to use different files for each game, although some games use the same file formats. Here are a few that have cropped up in multiple games:

  • .afs (Sound)
  • .osb (Sound)
  • .pvm (Texture/Sprite)

Recommended Emulators

nullDC

So far the DC emulator with best compatibility, it will play most games faithfully. It is still a WIP, so some issues may happen.
