QUOTE(Gilthoniel @ Nov 20 2006, 03:03 AM) good luck in getting it fixed/getting a 2nd hand unit! it's a damn good machine! mostly the dreamcast is unmodded , though there is one mod chip which eliminates the use of a bootdisc, but very rare .. Anyway, I have no clue whether my Dreamcast is modded or not... was there such a thing? I know i had to use a Boot disc, and then the later games didn't need the bootdisc for booting... now... the thing is, i wanna play different region games... think it's possible? can the boot disc be used to boot different region games?  QUOTE(sunauto @ Nov 20 2006, 11:31 PM) Well, if you're from Penang, I would have asked you to go to Ace Electronics, Komtar, they can fix any consoles including classing ones like Neo Geo CD. they even can reapir my old sega saturn .. which is kinda cool considering its age ... You can get a brand new Dreamcast from http://www.gamechoiceclub.com |

QUOTE(colinwong89 @ Nov 22 2006, 05:47 PM) It's a Japanese Revision 1 console. revision 1 ? hmm hows the cooling system on it looking like ? I opened the Dreamcast, but up to the top cover to check if there was anything odd (I didn't dare go further) but there was nothing. Tried twitching with the switch plugs if there were loose but still no startup.  |

QUOTE(colinwong89 @ Nov 24 2006, 12:25 PM) According to a website, there is a single digit number that tell you what revision it is under the console, next to the PAL or NTSC label. i see. cause the earleir dreamcasts, had somesort of heatpipe cooling mechnism inside ,which was then switched to the thick thermal pad attached to big metal plate ,then cooled by the regular(noisy abit Just a simple 40mm x 40mm fan on the down right side with a small vent to the opening of the casing, that's all.  ) fan ..QUOTE(colinwong89 @ Nov 25 2006, 12:19 AM) The power board looks easy to replace... As an alternative I could order one from the site and do it myself, that is if the power board is the culprit. its easy to replace, pop open a few screws here and there, release some clips, and your`re done .Again, thanks sunauto.  |
