Illegal bootlegs may or may not, while also most probably using the Neo-Geo BIOS without permission, a ROM without permission, and selling an emulator without adjusting it, so to speak."

" In Breakers, the emulator doesn't use the Neo-Geo BIOS for copyright reasons, and also it has the game files encrypted, uses more RAM than original emulator, and has some fixes in playing CDDA tracks, so it should be better in all. The main difference with bootlegs, obviously, is that they are not licensed products, and with Breakers the emulator dev himself tweaked the code of the release specifically to make sure it works flawlessly. I spoke to Chui to ask what makes this specially created Breakers release a more enticing prospect than simply burning an emulator disc from any one of the multiple ROM sites online. There are even some fairly decent looking fan-made one-off versions available which occasionally pop up on eBay (Andro Dunos and Neo Drift-Out are two of these, and the copies pictured above are owned by friend of the Junkyard Stephen ' DreamcastHub' Robinson). You may be looking at this review and thinking "so what - there are Neo-Geo emulator images I can download and burn for free!" and you'd be right. With this in mind, it's time to settle down with a mug of tea/coffee/vodka for a bloody long article. Second, I wanted to get an unbiased opinion on how well the emulation holds up and third I wanted to get a comparison between this Dreamcast iteration and the original 1996 version of Breakers running on genuine SNK hardware of the era.

First, I wanted to give my own opinions on it as somebody who is not au fait with the original games in the Breakers series to review the sum of the game's parts from the point of view of a newbie to the series with no prior experiences to compare it to. With little prior knowledge of Breakers on a personal level (a boat I'm sure I crew with plenty of other people), I decided to approach this upcoming release with a three-pronged attack. That's about to change though, as French publishers JoshProd and Rush On Game launch a joint assault on the Dreamcast library with a collection of 5 new or re-issued titles and the crowning glory amongst this lineup (along with Rush Rush Rally Reloaded) is considered to be Visco's obscure 2D fighter.
