Does anyone know where I can find G2 Expansion Adapters?

Post#1 » Wed Mar 15, 2023 7:14 pm

I know this is a stretch of a question, but does anyone know where I can find G2 expansion Slot adapters to build expansion hardware for the dreamcast? I'm trying to find them in a bulk order, from literally anywhere. I need just the G2 adapters that plug into the dreamcast to build a circuit with, tearing them off of old hardware is too expensive, because I need a bunch of them. It's the part of the dreamcast on the dial-up modem adapter that physically plugs into the dreamcast. I'm trying to gather as much information on this port as possible for a hardware design project.

I've gone down this route before to no success, unfortunately. The closest I could find mechanically was an AGP connector. Even then, it required a lot of modification to get it anywhere near able to mate with the Dreamcast. If you do happen to find a viable alternative, I'd love to know, too.

I'm not sure that anyone has been successful in finding an equivalent connector in all the years that people have tinkered. It may well have been a custom connector that Sega commissioned...
