Regarding DCEMulation.com! Where did it go? *UPDATE 9* 03/10/2009

Hello everyone from DCEmulation.com,

My name is 007Cheater and I’m the creator and owner of DCEmulation.com, a previous staff member has *hacked* the old site by destroying everything on dcemulation.com and moved it to his own servers without permission. Not only is this illegal and I will be pursuing legal action if not resolved, this is extremely disrespectful to me the creator of DCEmu and the willful host of DCEmu for many years.

I trusted this individual very much and everything he has done is deceitful, hateful, and disrespectful. I am in the process of bringing the site back to its original state, if you know anything about this matter or would like to help please contact me at seany187 (at) seanbryant.com.

The IRC Channel has also been taken over, please visit the original channel irc.cheatlist.com channel #dcemu, the channel #dcemulation is a fraud!

Thank you!

*Update 5*
www.dcemulation.com is back up and opperational as the old site with old downloads, original tutorials, etc…still need to get a few things running, forums have been restored however I am having some minor issues with them.

*Update 6*
The forums should be up shortly along with the rest of the site working by end of day today, I am removing all mods and admins because I am not sure who I can trust at this point, if anyone spams the board they will be banned.

*Update 7*
Forums are backup! Good for referencing past posts, and previous tutorials etc… Post spam and you will be banned. Also got most functions back working like CD Covers, FAQs, stuff that hasn’t been up in ages.

*Update 8*
DCemu is Dead, Former DCEMU Admin Deleted everything. Contact me if you need something, I will try to put it back up.

*Update 9*
I have put the DCEmu archive back up at http://dcemu.seanbajuice.com/. I am still working out some kinks. But for those of you still interested in DCEmu and a great place for getting started, this is still a great resource!

    what have they done, they have stolen the sites, use your power to get the law on them and bring them down, btw the subsites all link to the .org too instead of .com

    i would personally bring back a backup of the sites and email the server admin and police and prosecute those involved.

  2. nevets933 Says:

    I am depressed to hear what happened to DCemu. I am glad your working to restore it. Why did he want to destroy the site anyway?

  3. Dreamcast Fan Says:

    what ?? oh No!!! it’s not just sorry for you… ut realy sad news to all the Dreamcasters :(

    We cannot trust nobody in those days…

    I hope that it was just a joke and this will be fixed again!

    oh, the same admins are running it as before. traitors i guess, oh well

  5. Yonke Says:

    i need my daily dose of dcemu…….

    =[

  6. butters Says:

    Interesting that this happened. I must say that I do agree with the action, though not in the way in which it was done. Dreamcast Fan, please be aware that Sean Bryant hasn’t contributed any content to this site in years, and I really hope this does not become a legal issue.

    Sidenote: I had nothing at all to do with this action, knew nothing about it, and have only been on the Internet once to check email in the past two days.

  7. lunchbox Says:

    Any updates on this?

  8. Azathoth Says:

    interesting development indeed…

  9. Frank the Jew Says:

    Yeah I have heard the story told very differently on some other sites…

    Kind of hard who to believe. But from what I gather you (the site owner) actually didn’t do any work and just took money from running adverts.

    Which really you are entitled to do (as you owned the site) – But did you actually own the content on the site?

    If others were putting stuff up and writing stuff, and images were being used taken from other companies (like Sega), can you really try to take the data back?

    -As I say I don’t know quite who to believe. But if what has been said elsewhere is true, then I don’t think you have too much legal ground to stand on (you could probably get the site name/domain back… but not sure about the content…)

  10. Superstrider Says:

    When will DCEmu return?

  11. Veggita2099 Says:

    Hope this gets resolved soon. Where am I to complain about games that everybody else likes?

    I am not a 100% sure what the situation was here. However from what I did see we had some disgruntled members who didn’t like the fact there was a link to Seanbajuice.com on the main page? It seems irrelevant if 007cheater as contributed anything recently to the site or not. If he owns the site he is free to do whatever he wants with it IMO. I do agree the link didn’t need to be in the news section but its hardly a excuse to destroy the site.

    Anyways just my opinion on it. Oh any by the way when you try to go straight to the forums it redirects to http://www.seanbajuice.comphpbbs. There is no / in there so it gives a bad website.

  12. discostu55555 aka jim mohr Says:

    ahh, its been a while, but i remember back when i was admin for dcemulation.com and we had all these same issues… good times; glad to see youre getting things back up

  13. ImUnderTheBed Says:

    sorry to hear about all this. dcemu was my fav dc site.

  14. davey Says:

    i left the dcemu scene some time ago but i visit the site month to month to see whats came about… i thought the site was long gone. i am happy to see an update. – dave.

  15. Veggita2099 Says:

    Forums DO NOT seem to be back up unless there is something I am missing? Last several days it has been page not found error.

  16. David Says:

    This is a blast from the past!
    Thanks for the Relaunch :)

    btw. new commercial Dreamcast Game called “Dux” is on his way.
    Release June 2008

  17. Eric Says:

    I just wanted to know if DCemulation will have any new updates for Dreamcast. DCemu i do like but has now gone to do all systems and i will say it is somewhat difficult to know whats going on with the Dreamcast when there is so many systems with so much to talk about. I will say i could hardly give a shit about other systems DS is okay but because the ram is very limited makes it difficult to port or make great things for it. But Dreamcast there is always a way to make things better and the homebrew is just upgrading to newer and better things example:allegro language can now be used. I want a Dreamcast North American site dedicated i loved the site i visited everyday and that was the site i started out on and talked with coders like Ian Michael,Toastman,Mr.Sizzler and many others. I hope the site will get back together again.

    the message board link is broken, check it for me. thanks

  19. Adriano_CSI Says:

    message board link isnt workin…

  20. Eric Says:

    wheres dcemulation.com im missing the retro when i start makin stuff for the dc id like to see it on that site

  21. AirRaven Says:

    Wait. What?

    Sod. What a loss .=[

  22. Scroe Says:

    It is disapointing to see that this has happened to DCEmu. This site was my second stop for all of my DC Emulation needs. It is unfortunate that this has transpired however it is good to see that 007Cheater is busy recreating the site.

  23. Steveola Says:

    I used to be very regular on DCEmu back in the early 2K’s. Shame it’s not here any more, I must say though that I did quit using the forums after some of the ass-wipe mods with holier than though morals kept jumping all over my posts just for mentioning a certain emulator. So I would just like to say “SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN SEGAGEN ” :P

  24. ?eba Says:

    I just discovered the page. Being a faithful sega fan I am gonna drop by often. Best wishes for you 007Cheater for this wonderful initiative! I am very glad that you have managed to restore most of the "defrauded" sections. Man, these days there are so few people you can trust. LONG LIVE SEGA

  25. Capt_Trips Says:

    I never liked 007Cheater, but that was his site!
    He did a lot for DC Emulation: Were it not for him and his site, I would have never found out about it.
    What has been done to him is very wrong, even evil.

    So, screw the law: Tell us the name of the person who did it.

    Thank you Sean.

  26. Ricky Says:

    Where can i find a Mame emulator that will play on my Dreamcast console? i have one but it plays very slow? is there an updated version that will play in normal speed with sound?

  27. seany187 Says:

    You can still access everything at
    http://dcemu.seanbajuice.com.

    I have archived all the emulators and tutorials there.

  28. david182007 Says:

    Hack again?!

  29. workathomeguy Says:

    congratulations on getting the website back. I have been enjoying it for a long time good to see it back in action :-)

  30. bobby Says:

    damn sonsa bitches. i loved this site back in my HS sophomore year (2002). hope you get everything back n running!

  31. spankyjon Says:

    dcemulation.com was awesome when dc was homebrew king. sorry to hear about the ridiculousness that's transpired. some 'kids' don't understand the concept of ownership. they may have written things for dcemulation, but since you (007) own the site, they essentially write for you. keep the good fight fought my friend.

  32. batty Says:

    i just had an idea, maybe you can try putting your website into wayback machine and see if it archived anything. good luck =)

  33. Rale Says:

    Please Help! I can't get Record of Lodoss War (cdi) to work on my nullDC 1.0.0 Public Beta 1. When ever I start it, the dreamcast logo apears and an error appears . . .

  34. jesus Says:

    woops
    I've stumbled into the wrong site

    why hasn't the new .org address moved to the top of google search yet?

  35. Joe Says:

    nice post

  36. Nunya Diamb Bizness Says:

    Nobody gives a shit for DCemulation.com the attitudes of the site were outragous anyways and that attitude moves to dcemulation.org you can count on that site bein shit to.

  37. Nunya Says:

    All the sites except for the Spanish site which i know no Spanish at all is an amazing site and they have respect for people. I think these other sites dcemu.co.uk,dcemulation.org and anyother American or British associated site should smarten up a bit and instead of taking this the hard way start realizing your the problem by taking this message to heart and know where you can change the issues. These sites are for people to look at and you think by raising attitude it'll bring people yeah nice try advertising will get you know where either.

  38. Nunya Says:

    Bluecrab you stuck up little asshole who thinks he knows alot about coding shut up go back to make Yabause your non working Saturn Emulator and stop abusing your stupid powers. The spanish scene is the better scene and thats where people should go to get help and get cool Dreamcast stuff. The American and British sites need help get a rid of news hoggers like Wraggster so you can give admins better things to instead of banning users all the time for no fucken reason at all. I have respect for some but i dont respect for people who need help and cause they ask a stupid question they get a stupid answer if you call that support you shouldnt be running a site.

    Thanks

    Fuck you

  39. Seer Says:

    It's not legal to download/share commercial Dreamcast games software, no matter how old is is. It's not legal to download/share commercial Dreamcast games software, no matter how long the DC has been dead.

    To find legal DC games go to Ebay, Amazon, etc., or stop complaining. Game companies have no obligation to make their copyrighted software available to people after there inital retail runs.

    They are not stuck up at all, and if you can't face the fact you're a thief/pirate, get a life.

  40. Nunya Says:

    lol what the fuck being a pirate has nothing to do with this matter retard

  41. Nunya Says:

    im just fucking with you Seer i know i'll never see you again but i just wanted to tell you that i love you

  42. Kevin Says:

    My uncle had his site hacked once. I don't know why anyone would want to hack it, everyone there respects each other. Luckily he got it back in like 2 days and banned the hacker though. He runs a Macintosh website, so the hacker was probably some pro-Microsoft kid.

  43. Nunya Says:

    Yeah man thats what ends up happening stupid kids ruin everything and thats the reason for the run down on dcemulation.com. Anyways those dudes at the fucken UK site can run there traps. They may have made the shit but whatever is on this site is owned by the owner of the site. I believe one guy payed for this site and that was Sean so they can shut there traps. I've been in the scene for awhile and i know some power trippers and i know who would abuse this site. Dont trust outsiders they'll blame the wrong guy and make them look bad i've seen it tones of times and it turns out the wrong person was being blamed.

  44. Timex Road Trainer Says:

    There are so many of these types of sites out there, it's hard to keep track of which ones are still up. Sad to hear about DCEmulation though.

  45. Darrick Says:

    fuckkkkk need games need my fix help me………….. NOOOOOOOOOOO games.

  46. seany187 Says:

    did you check
    http://dcemu.seanbajuice.com ?

  47. Dreamer Says:

    Yours was one of my favorite sites back in 05-06. Seeing the archive brings back memories. Really got into the DC Scene because of your site.
    Glad to see you still at it. Thanks for everything.
    Sorry to hear about all the problems.
    Good luck man!!!

  48. dmb062082 Says:

    Hey the site was awesome, it got me into dcemulation! And 007cheater and Sean are the same person lol.

  49. Ringo Says:

    I'm looking for a way to connect a NES controller to my softmodded xbox in order to play some emulation.
    I found this page which sounds very interesting: http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=6813...

    But I can't seem to find the page on devcast it's referring to: http://devcast.dcemulation.com/mods/unicont/nes.p...

    Can someone please help me? A schematic on how to wire the controller to the PIC would be very helpfull.

    kind regards,

    Ringo
