Senile Team, the creators of Beats ofRage, had this to say about BOR:

As fans of the ‘Streets of Rage’ series that originally appeared on the SEGA megadrive/genesis, we always wanted to see streets of rage 4. But the waiting proved futile, and streets of rage 4 never came. That’s why we tried to correct this mistake and fill the void by making the ultimate tribute to Streets of Rage:
Beats of Rage!!

Beats of Rage is one of the most revolutionary homebrew games to ever hit the Dreamcast. Not only is it a fantastic game on its own, it is also possible to modify the game in many ways (similar to the way people can create TC’s for Doom and Quake). Out of Beats of Rage, many new games have emerged, giving birth to an entire community based around the game and its modifications.

How Do I Burn BOR To Use On My Dreamcast?

Most of the modifications for Beats of Rage are available in selfbooting CDI format from BoR Revolution. You can simply follow our tutorial on “What Do I Do With CD Images” to burn them. Beats of Rage, itself, is available from Senile Team’s web site, under the “Beats of Rage” -> “Download” section. You can also download a selfbooting CDI of the original Beats of Rage from DCHomebrew.

In addition, we now offer exlusive downloads of SBI files for use with Beats of Rage and its modifications. These files will allow you to use Selfboot Inducer to put more than one mod on the same disc (or they will allow you to put Beats of Rage on a disc with other games, emus, apps and demos for the Dreamcast). Until now, most everyone thought it impossible to use Beats of Rage with DreamInducer (the menu program that Selfboot Inducer uses on the Dreamcast). However, with a little bit of creative programming and editing, the staff at DC Evolution figured out how to boot Beats of Rage (and therefore all of its mods) from Dream Inducer, without having to generate a new loader with a separate menu.

Where Can I Download Beats of Rage Files?

All mods based on the BOR engine should be available from BoR Revolution. There are two sections of the site devoted to downloads. The first is devoted to Completed Mods. These are mods that have been finished by the modder, and are complete games on their own. There is also a section for Demo Mods. These are demo versions of mods that are still in the process of being completed. All of the game information for Beats of Rage and its mods is stored in one single file, generally called BOR.PAK. That PAK file can be used with any of the ports of Beats of Rage (in other words, you can use the same PAK file on your PC, your Dreamcast, your Xbox and various other platforms). BoR Revolution offers many of their downloads in two formats: You can download a selfbooting CDI made just for the Dreamcast, or you can download just the PAK file (which is all you need if you’re using the SBI files below, but you will need to have the plain files for Beats of Rage in order to create your own disc without the SBI’s).

You can also download SBI’s from the links below. Right now, we have SBI files available for all of the completed mods, and for the original BOR. These SBI files are available in PAL and NTSC formats. In addition, we have created a special SBT (menu theme for use with Selfboot Inducer), based on Beats of Rage.
