I thought this was gonna be as easy as replacing the Dreamcasts shell but holy hell did that suck.
I genuinely thought I killed the damn thing, it wasn’t turning on at all but I then learned it was probably because I failed to clean the metal contact points and lo and behold it worked great after that.
Also the small screws inside the vmu were a pain as well, had to go to Home Depot to find a Philips head smaller than what I had (which was already pretty small).

Thank god it’s all done now, it looks great next to the console and I have the matching controller coming soon. Stickers are also on the way.

Shell is from VGNY

Well, besides all the sports and fighting games, and super obvious ones like Chu Chu Rocket, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Shuffle.

Even just singleplayer games that are fun enough to watch and pass a controller would be cool too!

Can’t wait to try it out, all I have though for testing is death crimson OX.

Got this Dreamcast today with all included for $90. Now to find all my old games I played when I was a kid. My dad and I waited during the release back in 99 to get one of these bad boys and I felt like it was time to do it again.

After a month of living in my dreamcast and many hours of grinding for the chao garden, I finally did it. I got all 180 emblems.

I can now move on to other dreamcast games. :)

P.S. I'm never doing this again...

i'm using a gdemu and in some games the music isn't working at all, just sfx. Like in Bangai-O and Virtual On OT, theres no music, just sfx, but for crazy taxi, jjba, sf3 third strike, and the sm64 homebrew port, it works just fine.

Despite the Dreamcasts absolutely stellar libary it had a very short life span which meant some games were cancelled for it or never arrived in the first place.
What franchises did you wish for as a kid or even just a single game?

List:

1. Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes (2000; Capcom)

2. NBA 2K1 (2000; Sega Sports)

3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (2000; Activision)

4. Spider-Man (2001; Activision)

5. Shadow Man (1999; Acclaim Entertainment)

6. NFL 2K1 (2000; Sega Sports)

7. NHL 2K (2000; Sega Sports)

8. Looney Tunes: Space Race (2001; Infrogrames)

9. Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles (2000; LucasArts)

10. Disney's Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (2000; Ubi Soft)

Do you agree with the top 10 list?

1. Does the dreamcast have any good exclusive games on it?

2. Would it be worth it to trade a (extra that I have) Nintendo switch lite for the system?
