Is A Dreamcast Worth The Money??

[Steve-O]

Is a Dreamcast worth it??? Is the Homebrew stuff good for it etc??? Is it worth the £10 you can now get them for (2nd hand) ??


Im gonna Mod Chip it If I get it... thats the first thing I will do...

Thanks

It isn't even worth arguing about for £10. And you don't really need a Mod chip.

Get it for 10 Pound and don't even think it would not be worth it I only played that thing once and that would have been worth the 10 Pound If only I could remember why... or what I played... dammit.

U can play homebrew,emulators and even warex if ure illegal without chipping. Invest in Shenmue 1 and 2, itll set u back more than the dreamcast but its goddamn worth it for the best games series ever, and make sure to get Soul Calibur too, i got it for a fiver, and if u live in UK lok in the friday-ad, i got 20 games, 2 light guns, 4 controllers, a keyboard and a fishing rod for £50 and all the games are top class, ive got part exchange on 10 of em and already got £60 for it

so you dont need a Mod Chip to play Copies / Homebrews... You just put it in and it plays???

Providing you burn it correctly - yes. There are lots of utilities and FAQs to help you burn the CD correctly, or the file you want to burn may be a Nero or Disc Juggler image in which case you just burn it using the correct app.

Apparently, this doesn't work on some later Dreamcasts but you can get around that with a boot disk I think (a cheat disk or an import player disk will do).

Actually some models of Dreamcast you need the modchip. Good thing my model could play homebrews

I am actually thinking on getting the $189 portable dreamcast. Comes with modded consol with LCD screen, speakers and such. Car adapter, AC adapter, VCD player, Remote for VCDPlayer, Mod chiped to play any dreamcast thing.

Not really true. All PAL models and almost all American NTSC models canplay burned discs. There are a few jap models that cant.

The finest console since the SNES, go for it!

 

[Steve-O]

ok I think im gonna get one ....

I Want to Install a Chip Its fun (Especially Solder in Chips)... Cos I Hate Boot Discs If I do have to use one....

Usually you don't even need a bootdisk, nowadays the copys have one included (e.g. selfboot).

If you are into fighting games the dreamcast is still the best console out there, and generally you can't do much wrong with it

 

[c0ncept]

any decent RPG's?

 

[washo]

grandia2
skies of arcadia...

Most disks selfboot meaning you dont need a mod chip :0

You need to check your dreamcast date

Guess it was a myth back then XD... oh well

 

[geo12]

ha, Grandia II is hilarious

This poll has made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. At the time of writting this it's 28 - 0. Shame there was little support for it when it was still commercially available. Long live the Dreamcast and death to Sony.

*shakes fist at the sky*

Okay I'll take some of my pills and shutup now.

Easily the most underated console of all time. Well worth the £10. Lol I remeber see4ing a game for it in a charity box in Wollworths for 10p.
