TOSEC release! (2019-09-09)

It is September 9th, 2019, today one of the best home consoles ever created turns 20! (Maddog will actually tell you its' the best console by far, but rumor is that he is slightly biased in his opinion...). So, after celebrating Gorski's birthday in the previous release, we now celebrate the Dreamcast's birthday! By the way, we know that it was released earlier in Japan, but we simply had to go with the iconic 9/9/99 US release date. Nobody can remember the Japanese release without looking it up in Wikipedia, right?

The new datpack can be found in our Downloads section As always, make sure to peruse the readme.txt (or click 'READ MORE...') and feel free to join in in the forum with any related discussion.


Quite obviously, there are big updates in the Dreamcast dats, which should be worthy of enthusiastic celebrations among Sega fans. Many ultra rare and accordingly hard to get and expensive discs have now been added for your enjoyment. The biggest change by far is that Maddog finally decided to drop the "2 dumps" rule for adding stuff to the public dats. This served its' purpose very well in preventing errors and fake submissions by dumper wannabes for many years. But now, as we get closer to a complete set and we are diving deeper into the seriously rare, expensive and obscure stuff, it has become counterproductive, as it prevented many good dumps from trusted sources from being included. There's always a chance some of them are not correct, but it's very slim indeed. So, we introduce the Various Unverified Dumps dat. You will find many interesting discs hiding in it. Of course, we still hope to depopulate that eventually and add dumps from it to the regular verified dats, but the contents should make all Dreamcast fans very happy indeed. The verified dumps also got a great boost. Weird and wonderful stuff like the elusive Taiwanese Illbleed, the Portuguese Dreamkey 3.1 (last ever PAL disc produced), several rare Capcom samplers, the last unverified shmup (Mars Matrix JP) and the last unverified fighting game (Street Fighter Zero 3 for Matching Service) are all now verified for posterity. We will leave you to discover the rest of the changes yourself.

For those of you who couldn't care less about Dreamcast ("shame on you!", says Maddog), we have several nice updates to TOSEC MAIN and some other additions to TOSEC ISO.

Mictlantecuhtle updated dats for many well known and beloved systems, like Apple, IBM PC and Genesis/Megadrive. He said that there will be many more of those coming in future releases, particularly he will continue his work adding the nifty new .woz dumps to Apple. WOZ dats are currently very preliminary. Also, thanks to his efforts many rom hacks for the Megadrive are now correctly identified and named. Not willing to give up his position as TOSEC's resident king of the obscure, he also added new dats for an ancient Raytheon machine from the era that Gorski was still young.

Commodore is a well known long-time favorite of TOSEC, with both Duncantwain and Tomse supplying updates for its' systems, with many renames and new files for your enjoyment! Duncan updated his C64 dats as he have grown to expect (this man has been consistent like clockwork in delivering quality new dats over the years!) and Tomse supplied dats for other computers of the family, specifically PET and C128. He also supplied new ISOs for AmigaCD and CD32, in the process greatly annoying Maddog, who still is mumbling that ISO should have been solely dedicated to the Dreamcast for this birthday release. Luckily for pluralism (and all reasonable people around), his opinion was overruled.

Finally, NLS promised to deliver great new dats for Atari 2600 (before taking over the world), but he bumped on Real Life (tm) issues. So in current release we mostly have renames of existing titles and we expect a bigger A26 update (and taking over the world) in next release.

All folders and contents should be self-explanatory. All necessary
CUEs are also included. There are also some scripts included to
assist in creating TOSEC folders, and some 'move' scripts for those
of you using RomVault. As usual, be careful with long pathnames in
some OSes. Best advice is to use your folders as close as possible
to the root of the drive.
