Nope.

Dreamcast Discs use GD-Roms, which your computer can't read.

If you had an ISO though (which of course, no one on this board would ever even think of ;-) ), there are some (I just don't remember any).

I have found some emulators but they only play some demos..I have an ISO image in my HD but I can't emulate it on my PC...BTW dcdivx is for playing mpeg4 videos on DC correct?? :)

Thanks,

To be clear...

I HAVE bought the game(It's Marvel vs Capcom 2)...It's not illegal or warez..I wanted so bad to play MvsC2 so I bought it for dreamcast (although I haven't one :) ) and I want to emulate it...

Thanks,

AFAIK, no public emulators have made it past CPU emulation yet. Go find a Dreamcast :D

I think the following still applies to any alleged PS2 and Dreamcast emulators :D
Speed is great, compatibility is 100%... runs all original games, without any troubles. Just download this file: PS2Emu, burn it on a CD, and insert the CD into your Playstation2 console. Wait until the CD spins up, and eject it quickly again. Now you can insert ANY PS2 game into your PS2 console, and it will play fine! Why did we choose a PS2 system for emulating a PS2? Weeeeelllll....
BECAUSE NO PC SYSTEM IS POWERFULL ENOUGH NOWADAYS TO EMULATE THE PS2 HARDWARE! DON'T EXPECT A WORKING PS2 EMU ON PC'S FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS! DID YOU GET THE POINT?
I don't think so, sigh.

I have a Dreamcast. Send the ISO my way and i will tell you how it is. ;) Hehehehehehehe. But honestly all the emulators I have seen are not quite up to snuff. Hit Ebay and spend the 20 bucks for a sys.
