Bleem for Dreamcast / Game

Look at the title. 'Bleem for Tekken 3'. But look at the images presented. They show Bleem for Metal Gear Solid. The review even states that it is Metal Gear Solid. It's confusing. I took a shot in the dark hoping that I would get the Metal Gear Solid Bleem. Didn't. I got the Tekken 3 Bleem *Which is Blue, not Green*. While that is still a very good product and arrived in perfect condition, amazon needs to seperate Bleem for Metal Gear Solid and Bleem for Tekken 3 into two different things. The same thing happened with the Dreamcast version of Dino Crisis not to long ago, where it swore the the Dino Crisis for Dreamcast was actually the Windows 98/2000 ports of the game. They did eventually fix that, now they need to fix this. When They do, I' be able to put a honest rating and review up.

Umm.. wow this is cool, works, looks great! I don't think I'll go back to playing this on the original system now that I am spoiled :)

Excellent thx

For those of you who don't know, the Bleemcast discs special discs that allow you to play specific PS1 games on your Sega Dreamcast. In addition to this, they take advantage of the Dreamcast's superior hardware to render the graphics better than the PS1 can, rendering them in 480p as opposed to the 240p resolution that the PS1 outputs, as well as anti-aliasing and filtering to make the graphics really pop. There were only three officially made, the Tekken 3 one listed here, Gran Turismo 2, and Metal Gear Solid. All three of them work essentially the same, you put the Bleemcast disc into your Dreamcast, turn it on, follow the instructions on screen, and then swap it with the PS1 disc of whatever game you'll be playing. The Dreamcast controller lacks some of the buttons that the PS1 controller has, so the developers at Bleem! remapped the buttons on it to match what the PS1 controller used, mainly by mapping some of them to the D-pad. Unfortunately, this means you can only control your character with the analog stick, which works better for some games than it does for others. Once you get the games running, you'll see an obvious improvement to the graphics, which make the games look like they were developed just for the Dreamcast. Two things to note before buying this: 1. In order to save your games, you'll need VMU that has to be formatted to mimic a PS1 memory card (which the Bleemcast discs can do for you). However, this erases all of your save data, so you might want to pick up a spare one to use just for Bleemcast games. 2. These discs use the mil-CD format in order to run on the Dreamcast. They are NOT official GD-ROMs, meaning that these may or may not work on Dreamcasts made after 2000. Before buying one, check to see if your Dreamcast was made before or after 2000. You can tell by looking at the label on the bottom of the console. If it has a 1 inside a circle on it, that means it was made before 2000 and will work with mil-CD formatted discs. Now that those notes are out of the way, my final verdict is to definitely get one of these discs if you own a Dreamcast and want to play three of the PS1's best games in higher quality.

If you're wondering whether this is worth it to improve the graphics of MGS, it definitely is. This makes the graphics much better, especially if your Dreamcast is hooked up via s-video. I lost my first Bleemcast disc so I came to Amazon (of course) to buy another. No brainer.
