My DREAMCAST Consoles, Controllers & Accessories

[@justintantiongloc6987]

I love my Dreamcast so much, and have fond memories playing Ready to Rumble, Sonic Adventure, House of the Dead 2, Crazy Taxi, Virtual On, and Shenmue as a kid. I also distinctly remember sitting in my childhood bedroom playing that old JRPG, Evolution: The World of Sacred Device, and listening to Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory on repeat while playing because it was a bit of a grind. Super awesome console

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Evolution: The World of Sacred Device is one of my favorite games on the Dreamcast! That game takes me back to late 1999-early 2000 and playing that game non-stop. The soundtrack is also masterpiece; those dungeon themes are ingrained into earholes haha!

[@GamingintoEternity]

Dude, I’m still playing my Sports Edition DC from 2000. I just bought Toy Commander last week from a Retro Game Store. My all time favorite system.

[@BeanpotPubParlour]

My Sports Edition is my main Dreamcast and alive and well also...

[@TheToyRoom]

To fix the yellowing on the controllers and the console all you need to do it go to a beauty supply store and get Salon Care 40 put it on the yellowed sections, put saran wrap over it, and leave it out in the sun for a few hours. I have some tutorials on my channel from a few years ago if anyone is interested.

[@MicklowFilms]

No that will leave streaks and ruin it. It has to be the liquid and diluted in hot water

[@TheToyRoom]

@@MicklowFilms Salon Care 40 is a liquid. I have done it multiple times and haven't had any issues but to each his own

[@smitty30rocks]

Sega marine fishing is one of my favorite games. It’s soooo satisfying catching giant marlins/sharks/ancient fish. Nothing has come close to replicating this.

[@tynao2029]

yeh, perfect difference of vibration and feel to smaller fish

[@oblivieon1567]

Man I loved the Dreamcast. I remember soldering a breadboard together to get VGA output when the VGA boxes were insanely expensive! Nowadays everything is insanely expensive lol.

[@agentsmith7118]

Best

[@itsallasimulationman]

Easily my favorite console with some of my most fond memories. I was still in High School, and 9/9/99 was the gateway to a fantastic Summer Vacation. I remember paying for this with my own money, and waiting in line to pickup my pre-order at midnight at Lloyd Center in Portland. The anticipation leading to realease day was unreal - I had all the magazines, and read them several times. Taking my VMU to school the following year so that I could raise my Chao in class was also exciting. My younger brother and I would ultimately burn through a couple Dreamcasts due to running Phantasy Star Online for days at a time (sorry for hogging the phone lines, dad!).

[@jarrodjob]

Me too. MTV video music awards the same night. Sonic Adventure disappointed tho….didn’t start.

[@themollymachine]

I saved up all summer from my summer job just to buy a Dreamcast on 9.9.99 with 5 games, 3 controllers, 3 vmu. I even had a neogeo pocket color because it worked with the Dreamcast some how. Great times

[@rhysperegrine5100]

Alongside something like the Switch, the Dreamcast is one of the most loveable gaming machines of all time. The sleek look of the console, the quirky controller, the welcome screen, the arcade-style games, THOSE blue skies. It was impossible to own a Dreamcast and not fall in love with it

[@tynao2029]

The StarFire LightBlaster for House of the Dead 2 was my favorite accessory. Beautiful Japanese cyberpunk style lightgun with double trigger, vibration and D-pad

[@DaveTremel]

I have that carrying case. Got it in an eBay auction about 7 years ago. Came complete with the Dreamcast console, 2 controllers and a lot of accessories. Got it for around $25 if I remember correctly. It was a great find.

[@hughlingard]

Dreamcast had the most epic launch date of any console ever -- *9/9/99* -- _so goated_

[@SimonJones265]

I bought my first Dreamcast in 2021 and it has become my fav console to collect for.

[@MrRaskobrails]

Love the Dreamcast. Bought it on release day for 489 Deutsche Mark (I'm from Germany) alongside with a VMU and Blue Stinger, Sonic Adventure and Sega Rally 2. My favorite console of all time and it was, as you said, so ahead of its time. Love your channel, cause you speak so clearly, so I understand every single word. All the best from Germany

[@ericp631]

My favorite of the sega consoles. It's simply amazing just how much they were able to do with such little time on the market they had

[@user82938]

The fishing rod controller is what I remember most about the Dreamcast. I played with it in a video rental store.

[@shawntaylor7442]

I got my Dreamcast after I started watching your channel. Never had it or the Saturn. Quickly learned buying for the Saturn was ridiculous. Grabbed my DC on eBay for $60 with all the stuff including a loose copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2. Great Deal 👍

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

My brother had a Saturn, and it was a pretty good system. The one thing that I absolutely hate about the Dreamcast is how hard it is to backup and restore the discs. Unlike my GB, GBC, NES, Genesis, 32x and N64, my Dreamcast is extremely hard to backup the games for and from what I know, the Saturn is only a bit easier. Given that with the Dreamcast you can lose the ability to use it by both the discs going bad as well as the optical drive, it's a shame that it won't have the longevity that some of these other systems do. (And yes, I know that you can install an opitical drive emulator, but that still requires that you backed the discs up in the first place which is a bit of a challenge)

[@DesolationGamingYT]

Amazing collection! I bought a dreamcast last year with an akura hdmi box bundled in. One of my favorite consoles. Seamed like we blinked and it disappeared from stores back then. Slowly building up my collection now.

[@MLife1000]

6:55 the fact that it supports the VMU I absolutely love about those controllers

[@DreamcastQ]

I love Dreamcast so much ! Got it when it was new and I had just saved up from my first afterschool part-time job and bought a little TV for my room ... Dreamcast was so impressive and fun

[@marioq8395]

Dreamcast had such a great run for such a short lifespan. So many original games from Sega.

[@GAMINGWITHTRUE]

This is my all time favorite system and I started back in the atari days. The hdmi mod gives this a breath of life on modern tvs, although pricey Its well worth it. I already played my dreamcast plenty before the HDMI mod but now, its played even more. Fighting games on this system were arcade perfect comparisons. Looking forward to new games coming from devs, they're what has kept the system fresh in the last few years. Great video MJR!

[@hectorleon465]

I remember watching one of the videos you covered this with John Hancock. Loved it cause he had it all!!

[@James-gj8rn]

ah this is nostalgic, i used to love Sonic Adventure growing up, thanks Metal Jesus, i really wish the Dreamcast didn't die so quickly, it was really a fantastic system and i'm surprised SEGA only supported it for around 2 years (and then Sony repeated that with the PS Vita)

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Well, when you piss off the retail chains that are supplying the hardware to the customers, it's difficult to remain in business. This was over 20 years ago when a huge chunk of people didn't yet have the internet at all, or if they did had slow connections. The bit about selling these online wasn't really very good as you couldn't demonstrate the graphics chip quality and performance very easily without having the unit there to see.

[@koolaid33]

I'd say you definitely have some good stuff there. Just a few suggestions would be the Dreamcast Jump Pack, & a Dreamcast Mouse. Both support a decent amount of games, & almost always make the game so much better / immersive.

[@nathanelliott2330]

So I watched this video around 2am... It's 3:20am now and I'm back after scouring eBay for the perfect fight stick for me and my budget. Never thought I'd get this excited about a peripheral!?! Thank you for that inspiration Metal Jesus, you do indeed rock!

[@GregsGameRoom]

I was gifted the black Sega Sports Dreamcast for my 30th birthday. That and a boxed 5200 were the best bday gifts ever!

[@goon5544]

I wanna dig deeper into the dreamcast. I got a console a few years ago and burnt a few games to play on it but feel I haven't fully explored it. Only had a friend who had it growing up.

[@DenverGamer]

Yes! I have a complete NTSC set, what a great console

[@epicon6]

Sweet! Dreamcast is still my favorite console!!!

[@josuecalix4438]

Man your channel is absolutely the best. Love and good vibes from Costa Rica. Sega rules.

[@MrLivewire1970]

I have two Dreamcast, I bought one on launch day with Soul Calibur, and I was blown away. I bought a second one from Toys R Us for $50 when they announced they were being discontinued. It was a great system, with so many great racing games. Unfortunately, it only had a few RPG games and those came out too late to save the system.

[@otakuthegreat]

Same I hot one that resets by itself and one that is modded which is the wrong one lol 😝

[@jerminator0688]

Grandia 2 on Dreamcast was my jam.

[@otakuthegreat]

@@jerminator0688 That was a good game Did you know that the VA for Ariel (the little mermaid) is in this?

[@loreabiding]

Wow! That's an amazing collection!

[@stucazzo2000]

If you buy or have a Brooks Wingman for your Dreamcast, you can always plug in a USB keyboard into the device and it recognizes the Keyboard as a DC Keyboard. Typing of the Dead plays great with it.

[@otakuthegreat]

Didn't know that

[@samred]

"what should I be on the lookout for?" * maracas, in both official and third-party flavors, to play the very unique rhythm game Samba De Amigo; * microphone, which slots into one of the controller ports and opens up voice capabilities in the pet-raising sim weirdness of Seaman; * Ethernet adapter + modern matchmaking mods, to play OG DC online games against real people in the year 2022; * a mouse, so you can play Quake III Arena with your keyboard like a real pro gamer; * a light gun, if you don't mind connecting your DC to a CRT; * vibration pack, because what says "late '90s gaming" louder than an optional rumble pack; and maybe a DDR pad, if you want Kelsey to keep being your friend!

[@thebrothersgoochfriends1428]

You need to get the official mouse to go with the keyboard, it makes playing Unreal/Quake/Outrigger so much more enjoyable

[@cletusmcfetus]

I I love your videos man, I'm young but I grew up on retro consoles, I come to your channel specifically for hidden gems of retro consoles and I've been thinking about the dreamcast for awhile, and I think I'm gonna go buy it tomorrow, thank you metal jesus!!!

[@michaelbartel7202]

One of my beloved Dreamcast items is the Japanese Chu Chu Rocket controller in transparent orange. Loved Chu Chu Rocket!

[@dbzfanatic278]

Always wanted one of those black dreamcasts. Just looks so cool and unique imo

[@Skeeter66]

Since I've been knee deep in DC since '99, the Official Arcade Stick and the MadCatz MC2 steering are considered the best of those specific controllers. Then and now. The problem with the MC2 wheel is are two fold. The springs inside the wheel which give the resistance and return to center can snap and render the wheel useless. There are no-known DIRECT replacement springs. Also, the mounting tabs that the springs attach to can also break off. My suggestion is to reinforce the mounting tabs with Gorilla Glue. Alternatively, you could get a PS4 to DC controller adapter and plug in your PS4 wheel since modern day wheels are light years better.

[@powerpc64]

the dreamcast is one of the consoles of all time.

[@xSGD23x]

Such good Dreamcast memories. Never owned one as a kid but loved going to a friends house to play 2K and Jet Set Radio.

[@VEN0M415]

Always Loved the dreamcast and I remember using the keyboard at my uncles house when I wasnt playing vigilante 8 2nd offense. I really think the VMU should make a comeback, a small device that parents can feel safe knowing their kids cant use the internet on it, but it allows kids to play mini games on the go to maybe unlock bonus items or content in the main game when plugged into the controller again. Heck make it have a touch screen to be used like a touch pad on PS controllers too. So much potential, its a shame companies don't really innovate anymore.

[@fistfulofgamepad]

I love the Dreamcast, it’s my all time fave console, it was way ahead of its time with its online features and VMUs etc. The Striker DC controllers are so comfortable compared to the original. So many great DC memories!

[@McGomezAddams]

The legendary Sega Dreamcast

[@jonathansacci2325]

The Dreamcast is a pretty incredible console for it’s time. The resolution output it was able to do and the almost forward thinking that went into it was pretty gnarly. I’ve thought about getting one, but I don’t know if I would get a lot if use out of it sadly.

Easy to rip games to it. Excellent library of games.

this console was so ahead of its time i still have mine as a kid remember the hours playing the 2k sports games nfl 2k nhl 2k nba 2k, mk 4 gta 2 powerstone bass fishing, crazy taxi, i remember when the stopped supporting it ever one that had one was like why this thing is amazing we couldnt understand why but now i know it died because it didnt have a dvd player the price and piracy but again i bet any one who had one back in the day never regretted buying one

[@doomzilla3568]

I love the dreamcast. It's truly an amazing console that really stands as Sega's swan song after the repeated failures of the past had caught up to them. So many arcade classic, excellent ports, great sport games, and timeless originals, this is a great console that is beloved by many. love the variants of the console (love the sports black).

[@chaospoet]

Magic eraser and windex or an all purpose cleaner. Spray it on the magic eraser, gently rub (a little harder for really bad spots) the yellow comes right out. Did that for my controller and console itself and they both looked brand new afterwards. Magic eraser is to cleaning Dreamcast and White Sega Saturns what Duct Tape is for fixing things. Simple but works wonders and it's cheap!

Amazing console. I got one when they announced they were discontinuing it and dropped the price bc I was young and didn't have a lot of money. I bought it to play Shenmue and Sonic adventures. I was absorbed into shenmue and am a fan of the first two games to this day. DC was ahead of its time and didn't get the marketing it deserved.
