Dreamcast Tetis 4D

[Grover]

Hi guys, I'm a newbie so please be gentle

I bought a sealed copy of Tetris 4D and for some reason it won't load.

I'm running a Uk DC and I use a Utopia disk to boot up all my games, but for some reason with Tetris 4D it'll only boot up about 88% before the screen turns black and thats it.

The disc itself is mint, so I'm at a loss as what to do.

Any suggestions please.

It is possible that this game is incompatible with the Utopia disc. Perhaps you would better of with the DC-X.

Someone may be able to confirm this for definate for you.

I don't know for certain with this title unfortunately but are you using a RGB cable? Some import DC games won't load/display correctly via RGB and this could be one of them.

If you are using RGB try using another connection type (RF, composite, S-Video or VGA) just to see if it loads then.

Tetris 4D works fine in RGB, Its the Utopia disc that is the problem.

Cheers Kron.

Like I mentioned, all my other games work fine. Is there a particular reason why it won't play via Utopia do you know?, and do you know of other DC JAP games (shmups in particular) that I may experience trouble with.

Thanks again.

If your going to buy many an import title for your Dreamcast it's probably worth investing in a DC-X boot disk. It'll boot pretty much everything and you can force everything (even bordered PAL games such as VF3) into 60Hz full screen.

Another vote for DC-X - it's essential. Play-asia have them in stock (use our banner please )

So is Tetris 4D any good? Better than Sega Tetris?

I'm going to have to buy a DC-X before I can answer that one Gossi !

I only bought it (off flea bay) 'cos the auction was about to end with no bids at ?3.99 so I though f*ck it!, I'll have that then!

Seen a couple of DC-X's on ebay from a seller called 'Tureylon' for ?14.99. I've bought a couple of items off him before and he's a decent bloke. Not sure how much they are on Play Asia, gonna have to take a look see.
