Information on Blue Swirl hong kong dreamcast

[delta gray]

Hello I have managed to acquire a dreamcast, the seller has said it is from hong kong but I don't know anything about it, I have tryed to look it up but can't seem to find any information about it so I thought here would be the best place to ask, so do anyone know about them, it has a sticker on it that says ntsc without modem on it and a blank modem, I know sega was selling consoles in hong kong through 3rd parts but that About the extent of what I could find on them sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes (dyslexia) or if this is in the wrong sub

It's strange seeing a blue DC logo shell on a NTSC machine.

According to this topic (http://dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com/php ... 3cf98658a6), brmanuk (see reply #7) says:

I've lived in Hong Kong for the past year and a half and almost all of the used Dreamcasts I've seen do not have a modem. Instead they come with a plastic shell which is literally an empty modem case but without a phone line socket. These pictures are from my NTSC-J Dreamcast with the model number HKT-3010 which I bought here.

See original post for pictures.

Further along, they say:

I'm assuming it's official and that they didn't include modems because Hong Kong didn't officially go 'online'. Since being here I've never seen any Chinese localised Dreamcast games - all are either Jap or UK. As for the functioning modems...who knows?!

Hey thanks, what is weird is that all blank modems I have seen online have had the plastic connector but this one doesn't and by the looks for it never has, the screw posts doesn't have threads

Probably a manufacturer thing. Maybe different factories would use different molds, but they all just wanted to achieve the same goal
