Topic: Has anyone tried running the Castlevania resurrection rom on the mini systems?

You know that unreleased Dreamcast castlevania that got dumped online a few days ago. I wonder if that would work on the mini genesis, PS classic or whatever. Anybody know? I'd like to try it but don't want to use a PC.

I don't think we can discuss that here. Try googling it instead.

It's an unreleased Rom. Nobody could have paid for it if they wanted too. I can't talk about that but this site prints up articles about hacking and modding every week?

I suppose you can ask the question as long as nobody provides instructions or links.

@Northwind But he's asking about modding a Genesis Mini or PS Classic which technically are current gen consoles. At least that's the way I interpretated it.

@Northwind the rules also say:

We ask that you do not link to any resources for illegal copyrighted content such as where to download ROMs and we reserve the right to lock, edit or delete any threads or comments we feel stray too far into an illegal or legal grey area.

As for the articles, I can't control what they post on the main site. We only moderate the users, not the writers.

@Northwind My thoughts on the Mini consoles are they are current gen. They came out last year and a couple of years ago yes they play older games but the consoles themselves are current gen. Yes they are based off older consoles but they came out during this console gen. But again that's my interpretation.

That’s kinda getting off topic now. Let’s continue that in the chitchat thread instead.

As I’ve already said, the topic is fine as long no download links or detailed tutorials on how to get the game running are shared.

Yeah i wasn't expecting rom links or anything like that. Just curious if the demo would work on the mini consoles. I know some Dreamcast games will run near perfect on the ps classic. Maybe if no one else has already attempted it i might test it later on mine and report back.

@Tasuki
They count to the old gen and actually add to their overall sales.

Okay update for anyone interested. Yes it does run on the PS classic and pretty well too. It's a little laggy sometimes but the game wasn't finished anyway so no biggie. I gotta say if i had played this in some alternate timeline where it actually released i would have been loving it! It's better looking than the N64 games and the music is really good too! The one track that plays in the opening stage is very nice! It kinda sounds like something out of the childs play movies. Real shame this didn't get released.

So yeah if you got a modded ps classic that's one option for playing it.

@Northwind To me current gen is anything that came out the last 5 years. It doesn't matter what games it plays. Take for example the Super NT or some of the other clone consoles. Yes they play retro games but they didn't come out 30 years ago they came out now current gen. Same with the Mini systems yes, they play older games but they came out within the past five years. Just like I wouldn't consider Atari Flashback as a retro console. Yeah it plays games from 30 years ago but it's only been out for 5 years or so.

I would say a Mini console is a little different since you can't buy more games for it.
I personally think the built-in game selection is kind of the point of playing a Mini console instead of just using an emulator, so I wouldn't mod it.

But since if you have those Mini consoles, you already paid as much as you ever will be able to pay to the console maker, so if you do it for your own use (not ebay scalpers who buy and mod the entire stock for profit), it doesn't really matter.
