Hello all! Thanks for keeping the dream alive!

Post#1 » Wed Mar 02, 2022 1:36 pm

Hey everyone,

I stumbled upon this forum and have lurked for a while after reviving my original Dreamcast over the past couple of years. I still have my original hardware that was purchased in late 1999 with Hydro Thunder. The DC's short but extremely bright life was home to several experiences that have shaped how I enjoy and think about video games to this day, and I don't think any other console or period of games history will ever surpass it for me. The breadth and depth of the system's incredible library is astonishing to me, and I'm still discovering games that I'd never heard of 20+ years later.

At some point, my system's controller ports ceased to work. I took this to mean that this was it for the console, and packed it away in a closet sometime in the early aughts. When I found it again and did some digging, I discovered that this was a common and replaceable part. After a trip to a local retro games shop, it was back in working condition, just as I'd remembered it! For the past year or so, I've made some modest upgrades, installing a clone GDEMU, 3D printed mount, and new fan. I cleaned the pins on the PSU and installed the resistors to regulate the voltage as well. I now have a DC with a startling selection of games that would have melted my 13 year old brain.

Thanks to everyone who is still keeping the dream alive. The Dreamcast was ahead of its time, and still is in many respects given the startling level of creativity and artistic ambition that is present in a significant portion of its library. It's great to find a forum of people who seem to agree!

Cool story. One thing about the Dreamcast is that there is always something to learn from it.
