Found Dreamcast - Thoughts

[adgloride]

You won't get much for it on ebay. You may as well play on it, the dreamcast is the last time Sega was at their very best.

marvel vs capcom 2

DreamSNES and Obsidian alone are worth it.

like 600 sega games on a cd-r and 500 snes games on a cd-r. no modding needed to play em. No money spent on virtual console ever again.

But... why? The dreamcast's almost perfectly emulated on PC, only you can squeeze better resolutions. AND you don't need to burn CDs, as chankast can use isos.


not everyone has a top of the range powerhouse PC to run dreamcast games on their PC.

as for the OP finding a dreamcast, lucky you, it's a great console and i've had mine for years now, but why would you consider selling it?

If by "top of the range powerhouse" you mean "three year old machine", then yeah, I agree.
I much prefer playing Jet Set Radio in 1024x780 than on TV. Anyway, do whatever you want!

What are the system requirements for DC emulation? I have a dreamcast and a VGA box but I'm interested in the idea of playing DC games on my PC.

My specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo 6400

2GB Ram

ATI Radeon X1300 256 MB

your computer should handle dreamcast emulation

PowerHouse? a PC with 512MB of RAM and as Geforce 5 Series can emulate the Dreamcast with good framerates.

Get an 8800GT if you can spend that much money or if you want to stay with ATI get an X1950 Pro

dreamcast = best damn system ever, along with SNES

OP, do not sell it, you'd miss some great games

 

[Master Mo]

Shenmue I and II are one of those fantastic games that everyone should just play (to see whether or not they like it at least) - they're absolutely amazing games, especially for their time.

Best Post ever

Seriously, it was a great System with very unique games.

R.I.P. Dreamcast...

You can pick up a dreamcast now for £10. Why would you want to run an emulator on the PC? I don't know how far the dreamcast emulator has come, but last time I used it loads of games wouldn't work.

Okay, so I got cables etc. for it today... Plugged it all in, and it booted to the menu. I was so happy I put in a disc closed the lid... Nothing happened! On further inspection I think the motor that spins the disc doesn't work... Anything I can do to fix this or do I need a new console?
