Disassemble your DC and take out the PSU and you'll see it's connected to the mobo with 8 pins, just clean the pins with cotton bud + alcohol and reassemble. Your DC will work like charm again

the best console launch ever!!! if u launch ur console, make sure you have soul calibur.

i remembered when i got the dc at launch.... bought sonic adventure and powerstone... awesome... then soul calibur came along (blew everyone expectation) ...definitely the best gaming session i've experienced yet...

duhhh...only 3 hot title..
compare to PS2..there lot of title..then that

i used ps2 last time as dvd player only

dreamcast for gaming pleasurem, until ff 10 rolls by...

Last time I want to buy for the sake of RE code veronica, then when I heard it will be ported to ps2 I tak jadik buy and bought a ps2 instead.

/me fan of re series.

You do realize the PS2 RE:CV is inferior right?

PS2 cutscenes were all pre rendered fmv rather than realtime rendering if i recall correctly.


I actually got it on the launch date in the UK, remembered queing up to get it. The launch was anything but perfect thought because they couldn't deliver online gaming. If i remember correctly, SEGA got a lot of flak for not having online gaming working on any of their launch titles. They apologised by giving all of us early adopters a copy of Chu Chu Rocket free though.

The A to Z of Sega Dreamcast

Virtua Striker2, Shenmue1&2, Jet set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, and many2 more...

but the best online experience i had on my beloved DC was Daytona USA... yes online running only on 56k modem

Who needs online when u can bring ur frenz in for some Power Stone and NBA 2k action..ahh..the good old days..

argreed! when first time played Phantasy Star Online, I was like good times, good times

I miss this guy

i haven't had the chance to finish shenmue,sob sob

3 hot titles at launch... can't get better than that.... playing soul calibur countless hours spent ... just on versus mode with friends...

forgot abt midway's ready 2 rumble boxing... that was a blast...

as for other hot titles, it came out later.... even have to forked out on MvC2 from liksang.com

surprisingly sega gaveaway chu chu rocket to start off their online gaming.... 4-player mayhem on 56k modem ... even got worms party for free somemore

those were the days...

@colt - ps2 era is after that with many excellent titles came out...

...and not to forget, MSR (Metropolis Street Racer)... the mother of PGR (Project Gotham Racing) on xbox... one of many racing games that worth getting a DC...

DC is a big bored. Only good thing ever happened to it was Soul Calibur. I've more fun with my Saturn than this piece of crap plastic. So glad i got rid of it years ago.

As for ShenMue...yeuck...whatta load of crap!!! It failed as an RPG, failed as an adventure, and failed as a fighting game. ShenMue 2 was better though...finished that on my XBOX.

others:
MSR - Only the player's car are shiny. The other cars has no reflection and looks like pastel color. haha. Boring game.

VF3 - Inferior version to the Arcade. The DC PowerVR GPU simply couldn't do Model-3 level graphics then. And i remember vividly Pai's arm got sort of twisted the wrong way when she lose a game and fell on the floor. Uurrgh.

DOA2 - Actually has sharper graphics than PS2 version...but inferior light sourcing than PS2. Years later, DOA Ultimate on the XBOX ownz them all.

Sky of Arcadia - Perhaps the only epic RPG on the DC. Pathetic.

As you can see, i truly hate the DreamCast. hehe.

Depends on what kind of games you are after really, for me the DC is marvelous for porting arcade games and that's reason enough for it to be a classic in my book.

And speaking of RPG, there's also Grandia 2 which I think is better than Skies IMO.

my dreamcast burned already. missed alot good games there especially sonic shuffle. the bomb mini games! oh yeah jet grind radio and virtua striker lol. Wasted my life playing 4 player quake deathmatch of quake and nfl blitz on it as well

My DC is still sitting in the drawer. Soul Calibur was great, but I just had to buy PS2 for Tekken Tag

Anyone remember Code Veronica?
