Sonic Adventure [NTSC-U] - Single Disc Release
----------------------------------------------
Dreamcast Resurrection - 2009 (since 2008)

Check snesorama.us forums for more releases
----------------------------------------------

Ripped: Nothing.
Downsampled: Music monoized and videos downsampled.
Source used: Kalisto release files and GD dump from japanese version.
Main features:
- Selfboot.
- Discs dummied for 700mb. Dummy size is very small, so it makes no difference.
- File order in CD was made the same of GD, what mean faster loadings and less Dreamcast noise.
- No corrupted files at all, made with files from trustworthy sources.
- Internet feature patched, it's working now (original Kalisto release wasn't).
- Song from Sky Deck 2 was replaced by the original file because for some reason the re-encoded file from Kalisto was not playing.

Other features:
- VGA Box is supported as in original game.
- Files from CD part of GD (there were some nice wallpapers on this one) are on release package, not on disc (not enough space). I haven't included the audio warning track because I got the japanese GD dump and didn't fell like including the japanese version. 0GDTEX converted to bitmap is also in the extra folder.

I made this release in alternative to my split release from some days ago. Some people won't like changing discs for each character so here there is a single disc version. If you don't like the quality loss in this release, use my split release instead of this one so you'll have the game with original video and stereo songs, just check snesorama forums for it.

This one was an easy release. I got the Kalisto release files, and as most of you know, it has no space for selfboot session. Well, before worring about that, I patched the game for internet feature and replaced the song that was not playing with the original file. I haven't re-encoded the song because space gain would be minimal and same problem that happened to Kalisto would probably happen to me. Anyway, after that I had to make space for selfboot. I could rip the japanese voices, but why rip stuff when even internet feature was working? So I got the original videos and downsampled them. Differently from Kalisto, I downsampled all videos (they had different bitrates so I downsampled on the same percentage) and not only opening and Super Sonic story one. There were two reasons for that. First one is that if I changed only these videos, I'd have to kill too much quality from them because I needed a considering ammount of space for selfboot session. Second reason is that on my split release I realized that in original file order, some videos were too big and kept glitching on play because reading speed in inner part of CD was not enough for them, so if I downsample them they would play fine, and that's what happened. Then I added a ~400kb dummy file (LOL) and burned with original file order. Loading times got very cool now, I hope you enjoy.

When I downsample files, I usually includes the original files on package. But I haven't done this time because I'd have to include 600mb of useless files for most people, so if you want them you'll have to get them from GD dump yourself. For information, all files with *.sfd and *.adx extension are different.

Last comment, my releases are for Dreamcast console, not emulators. Of course it will work on emulators, but it won't be any better than other releases around. So if you're using emulator, I recommend you to use GD dump instead. If you're using Dreamcast console, you'll notice a big improvement in this release compared to other ones.
