You should ask how I took the picture

The red part is very satisfied, but the greyish white part is too thick and imbalance on the side. The M word is even worse, never thought the paint will be so thick. If only I had more patient it would be better

I must say its still look very nice in the picture (at least).

So do you have to dismantle the casing to spray?

Ya, have to dismantle everything. Very enjoyable process

Got mine long ago, still sealed

You retro taikor, of course long time ago have it d

Ahh, nice to be back from vacasyun....

Fired up some retro game consoles, but got a major surprise....

For Dreamcast, why does sometimes it will randomly reset itself? Too hot? Mine is unmodded Drramcast bought from ebay. The console is played at most 1-2 times in a year....

For Saturn, first time I fired it up, the drive did not function! But after 10 minutes, and several resets and powering on/off, the familiar Saturn intro flying screen came on and it can finally read discs. This one I last played back in 2008! It's a modded Saturn (can play games from Uncle Jack Sparrow....)

So, any ideas on what may cause the problems for my consoles? Lack of play?

The dreamcast random reset is caused by the power connector and PCB board losing contact (maybe after expanding when it is hot). it just a quick fix, open up the dreamcast and your should see a 6 pin thingy from the power supply connected to the Dreamcast. Just take out the PCB board, wipe it clean (the pins) and just bend the pin slightly and it should work.

Check the below website for pictures. I fix mine by pending the pins a bit, the website below teaches you to push the metal pins.
