Pound Technology here to offer an HDMI solution for the Dreamcast!

Post by Pound Technology »

Hello all,

My name is Denny and I'm a co-founder at Pound Technology. We manufacture HDMI cables for retro consoles to give them new life. I would like to start by saying that if I'm breaking any rules for this post, I apologize and will totally understand if this is removed.

We're a small two man operation so I'm going to different social media sites to help promote what we do and hopefully help out a few people who's TVs have out grown their favorite gaming systems. We recently released the Pound HD Link Cable for the Dreamcast. You can find plenty of details for it on our website here: https://www.poundtechnology.com/dreamcast/

I'll be here to answer any general questions you guys have about our company or our HDMI cables.

If anyone is interested in purchasing one of our cables they can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BZP7HML

Cheers!

Yeah, we're still waiting for Amazon to approve it for international shipping. Unfortunately they're terribly opaque about these sort of things and don't even alert us when they ARE approved.

Hello,
Can you ship without Amazon? Maybe distribute cables through some online retro shops in US and Europe?
Per example it would be much easier for me to buy it through PayPal.

Hey Vasiliy, sorry they're currently providing all of our warehousing and logistics at the moment. We're not set up to have all that stuff ourselves so it's our only option at the moment.

Unfortunately not, I don't have any more samples on hand and our inventory is held at Amazon fulfillment facilities. We think it should release for international shipping soon though, we've already been selling for two weeks so in a few more weeks they should release it.

Love that there are more options to bring DC to HD solutions!
You guys should consider manufacturing Dreamcast System Link Cables too :D I think those would sell quite a bit :)
