Found Unusual Dreamcast Controller

Post by hammyboy6 »

Hi, I am new to dreamcast talk but I found something interesting a couple of days ago. I found a transparent clear dreamcast controller at a thrift store and was wondering if anybody on the site had any information on this color variant? I don't know what to make of it.

I would start searching from here. That site is always updating and the people there wouldn't mind having people contributing.

Oh and by the way welcome aboard.

Speaking of odd, I found a 3rd party IR wireless controller for the Dreamcast (links below). The VMU is stored in the receiver and the batteries go where the VMU would go. This pre-dated the Bluetooth era. Also to note that you by it as a pair with a dual receiver. I know there are bad things about these types of wireless receivers (IR) but I am just throwing it out there that there was at least one for the Dreamcast that existed.
