Rubbish Video, sure. Some legit views but seems like you are just trying to sell modern components. You don't look the age from when this was made. VGA, limited memory on discs and memeory cards were just common then. This video is a giant advert.

You can make the laser much more quiet by greasing it

What a terrible video. 1. You complain that it's made of hard plastics like EVERY OTHER CONSOLE. 2. You complain you can't reach the stick using index finger on the triggers because YOUR hand is too small. 3. You complain about random resets when I've owned multiple units since launch and never experienced this issue. 4. You complain that it has 1 laser like almost every other console. 5. Complaining damage to a disk causes it not to read, like every other disk based media. I bored I could tear everything apart in this video but I'm so annoyed I don't even want to continue.

"Tons of incredible games" is about 30. Maybe even less.

I had two dream casts when the the cansile first game out must admit that the games won't great the console it. Self had a lot off problems I for one wouldn't want one

4:10: Worse: it only holds as much as a PSone memory card - 128kb

I still have my Dreamcast from 2001. It still works and I'll never sell it.

About the burn cd's My Dreamcast has a number 2 So what does that mean's???

Can't say I've ever had an issue with the controller. One of my favourite of all time prior to the standardisation we now have. And the analogue stick has no drift. It's actually awesome for racing games, which given they make up such a large amount of the library is ok by me ^_^ Most of the other issues I would say anyone getting into DC now goes down the route of a GDEmu, and for the best video output, it's well worth putting all the money you save not needing to buy the games on a DC Digital mod for the best video output possible. (and I say this as someone with several hundred original DC discs) and of course a VM2 completely eliminates all the issues with the VMU giving you practically unlimited storage with a rechargeable batter and USB-C connection to be able to transfer files around all with a nice backlight. If you use OpenMenu with your GDEmu and VM2, it can even automatically change to the corresponding game you are launching.

Don't expect any METAL GEAR SOLID/GRAND THEFT AUTO/HALO type games that you can get for pennies and are still great. Expect to pay more than what you sunk into the console for KING OF FIGHTERS 98 and get utterly cranked by the CPU on the minimum difficulty because it reads all your inputs.

Dropkick your HD TV because it turned all the circles on SKIES OF ARCADIA menus into ovals.

Spike your OG Dreamcast controller while playing 3rd Strike because you dropped your combo and blamed it on the shit-tier triggers where there should be shoulder buttons.

I bought my own Dreamcast sometime last year and I never knew about those issues at the beginning of the video, mine worked perfectly fine, my only issue is finding good games, I’ve found tons of games and stuff but the good ones or really the games I want are so expensive, all I want is sonic adventure 2 for the sega Dreamcast and I’ve nonstop run into Japanese copy after the trial copy, all for way too much money 😔

Bro move that triple chin away from the camera

You only need to know one thing it is the best console. If you just want to have fun playing games.

Your laser is way too loud, probably needs lubrication on the guides. Mine is loud but not like this. I been throuh two EU DCs and never had problems even with very scratched discs. Mine is now old enough it has trouble reading on cold boots, which seem to be from bad capacitors (it goes away after it heats up). I plan on replacing them, since I already found 5 or 6 that are off spec on the controller board. If 2nd hand, your sample may also have had the laser tweaked for CDROMs, in which case GDROMs will have the issues you describe. You need to adjust the pot to lower power to factory spec and it will read GDs much better. The best test I've found for this is tweak until Soulcalibur runs the music in game continuously, without fail. Other games it may just retry until it loads content and it may not drop to OS like you describe. The controller is mostly great, even though it sorely lacked the second thumbstick. While one may point one or two things not being top notch, this had the first proper analog triggers, which were massive for racing games. Try playing one on the PS2, where you are supposed to accelerate with the analog buttons. Many many times, you are not pushing hard enough for 100% to register... PS3 is mostly the same, with much worse thumbstick placement. Well, unless you get a 3rd party controller. They are also really durable controllers. Mine took a beating to the point the face buttons are now very soft but they still work without missed inputs.

I’ve taken controller out of the ports since owning it back in 2000 never had any issues

Wooow where did you find this? I remember watching it way back when in 500 b.c

Dreamcast is 6th gen system. It's last official game came out in 2007. It's a 6th gen system, comfortably.

talk abut a core memory... i remember certain parts of games were unplayable due to scratches. you'd have to avoid that level/mode or were only able to play up the a certain point.

It always seemed to me that the starting “beep” is a normal state. And yes, I have never changed the VMU battery.

First thing you must know before buying, is that disk drives are already 25yr old. Expect to spend some money on an optical drive simulator or any other method to load games other than gdroma.

Woooooo Yeah, Sega Forever 🤘

It was dying before the PS2 came out. 1. Most of those things are very rare and not super known. The laser isn't what makes the noise it's the motor and there is actually nothing wrong with it. It's just the way it's made(not cheap). 2. Most of what you said isn't true outside of the amount a GD-Rom can store. Everything else about burning games, compression of burned games and how hard the laser works is false. 3. VMU batteries are a pain but you can change them out for rechargeable ones. 4. Video output is fine

Just found one with 4 controllers and a cheap memory card, the guy at the counter was like, oh wait theres a big cd case with lots of games 😀 it was a goodwill type place

Dreamcast exists in ps1 n64 era and kick ass that consoles at all and any game version wich exists in dreamcast and in other console (whateaver, any console you wish) the dreamcast version are better.. the console have a few problems i know but i never feel again that magic with ant console

This videogame is soooo beaultiful 😮

plus, DO NOT unplug AV cable while power is plugged. it may damage video output.

Are any of them the fact that the dreamcast was a flop from several years ago and sega is effectively dead??? Because common sense would have told you that well before you even entered the store to buy one.

way better experience is with emulation, xbox controller and chd's....

All you need to know about the dreamcast is that it’s good exclusives were ported, and it’s thumb-sticks are torture.

Bit late but the Dreamcast Controller's Joystick is incredible for 1 reason. Almost 2 decades before other companies started looking into it, it used Magnets to trigger the inputs. Meaning, stick drift is nearly impossible on the Dreamcast.

Nice video but I don't know why you don't mention a single word about modding your Dreamcast. This solves so many problems and makes the console 10x better to play. If a person doesn't understand it and watches the video, they will think they're stuck with default settings and physical media. This may discourage people from trying the console. keep going, thank you

Where can I buy that vmu?

Xbox 1? Never heard of her. This controller here was awesome

I love my Dreamcast but you make some valid point

omg, u dont understand a thing about a dreamcast, so you know, the analog stick is STILL the best a gamepad can have, no drift whatsoever and it will never have because of the tech thats inside. and its one of the best ergonomic gamepads ever

Glad I checked the comments regarding the large size of some games and with how they will fit on blank discs. Thanks!

I had a dreamcast in 1999, the only thing I didn't like about it was how loud the fan was the noises the GD-ROM made, got over it all once the games started. I still got one thats modded and still love it and my kids who are 12 and 15 love it...

I wish this video to have much more views 👍

The graphics are better then ps2

If your DC is resetting check internal psu fork connector, clean it from black spots an add little chips of plastic to push connectors close. Also check underside of motherboard there is two elements covered with thermal pads, if pads ruined from temperature cut them in half and reverse halves on the chip, then assemble it back and tighten the screws. Your resetting should be gone. Idl why anyone could recommend VGA box cuz its not VGA in the end lol. I used SCART RGB cable that natively supported and use 480 progressive video. In the reality of HDTVs maybe investment in OSSC is a good idea. PS. DC controller is the best one i got a hold on. Many hours of gaming straight and no hand issues

If you do franchise in 2k it takes up the whole memory card

Nah, the dreamcast controller has always been one of my all time favorites

I had one as a kid but I must have given it away because I can't find it anywhere. 😔

2:45 are you sure its a disc issue and not the console itself?

Your production value is incredible.
