sega dreamcast

>>713853509 (OP)
It's alright, feels like an incomplete console. Library had an abrupt ending but I still enjoy it. Sega Saturn is way better.

>>713853509 (OP)
I love Dreamcast

cute

It's fucking insane to me we haven't gotten a dcmini yet

>>713857453
Baste taste

take me back

>>713859919
Blue Burst?

the first time I played sonic adventure one coming from ps1 games was mind blowing, to this day sonic adventure is one of my favorite games ever

>>713859954
not my webm but yeah probably
looks too highres to be an actual DC capture, though the SOVL remains

>Love the dreamcast
>Have a miniSTX motherboard PC
>Could gut one and make a really cool steam machine for my living room
>Could make some custom Dreamcast themed USB-C plugs to keep the front panel aesthetically pleasing
>Feel like it's kind of disrespectful to do that to a dreamcast
>Get kind of annoyed that there's no Dreamcast menu driver for Retroarch and the "best" way to go about doing something like that would be making an entire fucking new frontend

>>713860063
SA1 is peak sonic and i'm tired of pretending otherwise

it fucking died...

>>713860290
we didn't deserve it

>>713860228
My only qualm about Sonic Adventure, is all the groundwork for custom content sucks, and I think it'd be way cooler if all modding was built off crap from 2004

>>713860370
>Was
Wasn't.
Thanks 4chan.

>>713860213
There's probably a bunch of free...what the fuck are they called. Schematics I guess. For 3d printers to make a DC shell

Has anybody gone through the trouble of modding their Dreamcast?
>SD card drive replacement
>Fan replacement that is way quieter
>Pico Power supply
The dreamcast is a very simplistic console under the hood, everything is simple to replace just by unplugging things and swapping parts.
that all sounds very appealing to me until I realize I can just emulate Dreamcast games

>>713860469
They'd just be models, and admittedly I've looked into it, but I think 3D printing would be too low quality, and home injection molding would not be plausible.
It would be good for making small components

>>713853509 (OP)
its minggaming time

>>713860290
Not in the physical indie scene. There's also a yearly game jam now so you can burn anything to CD that tickles your temple.

>>713860608
no, i keep mine hooked up to play metropolis street racer occasionally because (last time i checked) it doesnt emulate well, and occasionally playing SA1 on real hardware purely for the nostalgia kick but thats about it as far as actually playing it goes, pretty much every other game is easily emulatable or just much better on PC with mods like SA1

>>713860636
SOUL

Back when consoles had a processing advantage over PC's.

DC port when?
>Whoops, you have to put the CD in your Dreamcast!

>>713861538
>DC port when?
Entirely depends if someone wants to make it.
It'd probably run fine on it.

>>713860070
Station Square was my favorite setting.

>>713862736
Mystic Ruins for me

>>713862736
>>713862898
It's still crazy to me that Rouge is the Train operator.

>>713863165
Five minutes should be plenty?

>>713853509 (OP)
YA YA YA YA YA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNHoWdid7ag

>>713860608
It seems there is now a mod to solder a microSD slot straight to the motherboard, no need to replace the optical reader.

>>713860063
I have very strong memories of getting it for Christmas, hooking it up to our modem, and downloading the Christmas Station Square mod. I remember thinking that this was the future. Which, I was basically right, yeah. Less magical now though.

>>713860609
Why not just buy a broken Dreamcast. They probably sell for a few bucks.

>>713863216
Yes that Rouge, shit eater.

>>713863514
Again, it sort of feels disrespectful to use one, even if just "for parts" for something like that.

>>713853509 (OP)
I wonder sometimes how the gaming landscape would be different if the Dreamcast were a success. I wish we were in that timeline.

>>713863954
Strictly speaking it WAS a success, even a middling one, the problem is mostly that Sega had been too damaged to continue in hardware manufacturing.

>>713860608
It's pretty good.
>emulate
It's funny how poorly this works.

>>713863514
Most "broken" Dreamcasts likely have a busted optical drive, and can be brought back to action with a GDEmu.

>>713853509 (OP)
The last real console.

>>713860063
Soul Calibur was the last time i was genuinely impressed at the leap in graphics from one generation to another.

>>713853509 (OP)
Ahead of it's time but also a clear example that software drives hardware.

>>713853509 (OP)
Mine is still set up under my CRT. I hate how noisy the drive gets though. Like hip hop scratches, or a polaroid camera wit asthma.

>Think of selling my dreamcast on ebay because fuck it
>gonna make $$$$
>check it
>they sell for fuck all

Wow. What the fuck, thought retrofaggots cum their shorts for this type of vintage crap

>>713864204
Conversely, I wonder what would happen to Nintendo if Pokémon DIDN'T didn't take the world by storm and revive the Game Boy into an absolute juggernaut while the N64 was struggling. SEGA's real problem with the Saturn is that they failed to have an offramp like Nintendo had for every console generation until now.

>>713856220
>maxi
it better play laserdisc too.

i wonder if anyone on this basket weaving forum owns a Fred Durstcast

>>713866968
you can get an ode on aliexpress for less than $20 now.

>>713867096
no one has hundreds of dollars of disposable income to blow on vintage shit now.

>>713867301
bull fucking shit. There's PSX games selling for hundreds, N64 games for "retail" prices (60 bucks for a fucking cart) and things like gameboys for 100$

dreamcast just fucking sucks

>>713867096
>>713867407
almost everything on the dreamcast got ported to other platforms, so used game prices are lower than stuff like the shiturn

>>713857453
This guy fucks

>>713867407
>selling for hundreds
Listed for hundreds != sold for hundreds.

>>713867096
Retro games prices are extremely bandwagon-y. So, just wait and it may come for the Dreamcast. Probably not though. The most expensive retro games are mostly due to Nintendo fans, who are drones without conscious thought, and furries, who are actually the powers that be in control of our society.

>>713867220
Didn't even occur to me, dude.

>>713853509 (OP)
the blue swirl looks better imo, fits the calming "dream" style they where going for more
eurochads stay winning

It's thinking...

>>713857453
i kneel

>>713870028
They only changed it because a German company already had a similar logo.

>>713870028
Sega's logo was always blue because of Sonic so I never understood why they went for the orange theme with this console anywhere else.

>>713866968
Drive noises are part of the SOVL

Sega Rally 2, Blue Stinger, House of the Dead 2, and Soul Blade were the only good games on it

>>713874407
>Why did SEGA use a complimentary color that they ALREADY use in the Sonic series you're talking about
What a mystery.
In the event you don't get it. Orange and Blue look nice together

>>713853509 (OP)
>it's thinking
i thought they had figured out ai techniques back then to allow games to adapt to players and they were advertising that fact cryptically

>>713867209
Tim Walz had a Dreamcast.

>>713874527
>i thought they had figured out ai techniques back then to allow games to adapt to players
Dynamic games existed even in the arcades.
Daytona USA is quite literally famous for the fact that if you suck shit at the game the drivers will actively take pity on you and while not completely not trying altogether will try to not block you as possible.

>>713857453
I hope the entire library comes to Switch2
