Hi all,
I am UK based and have owned my Dreamcast since 2000. I have slowly built up a collection of PAL an JP games but with the way prices are, I have ordered a GDEMU.
Are there any particular points for me to be aware of?
Is over heating really an issue or not?
Are there comple region sets to download?
I am also learning Japanese so I would also be interested in a JP set if one exists.
Many Thanks

Re: New with a question
Overheating is (edited) only applicable to PAL consoles.
Archive.org has most dumps in the right format.

Re: New with a question
Thanks for the info. So a quick google search shows me:
Pico PSU
Dream PSU
the standard fare of Chineese knockoffs
Does the community favour one over the other?

Re: New with a question
a pico psu or a dream psu will be ok.
You have also the possibility to "patch" one thing on your psu board.
