The Sega Dreamcast 20 years later 9-9-99 | MVG

[@kennylauderdale_en]

Releasing this on 9-9-2019? You glorious bastard.

[@ModernVintageGamer]

of course. it had to be done

[@kenrickkahn]

@@ModernVintageGamer (in my Shao Kahn's voice) *"Well Done"*

[@hateeternalmaver]

Very well played! Haven't noticed any other significant DC video coming out today...^^

[@jeremyjohnson8844]

Well, yeah, that is a 20 years... Derper.

[@chemergency]

It just happened to be Monday

[@rabiroden]

Smash Pack was also released on the same day Sega announced they were dropping out of the console business. Makes that hidden message all the more poetic.

[@maxleon61702]

If only we got more of that exact thing. Oh, wait.

[@SW-zu7ve]

Proud to say I bought it on 9-9-99. Still my favorite console ever!

[@JoeyMartz]

Same story here. Was a loyal Sega fan to a fault. Had a Saturn and master system as well. I remember going to toys r us and debating between ps1 and Saturn... I took the paper slip for the Saturn because i thought to myself, "Sony makes televisions... What do they know about gaming.... Sega is King re: mega drive/Genesis." Lols memories!

[@Cristian-vm1bg]

@@JoeyMartz same. we still exist (sega fanatifcs), we are just disguised as zombie ps4/xbox 1/pc gamers. I will always include Nights, Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon Saga (yes i have a real copy), Shenmue, etc among my fav games ever.

[@califaern3sto]

Does it still work? It is a version 0 made in Japan after all

I hate you so much LGR. I dont even know what it is I just wish I could run into you in the real world.

[@CGQuarterly]

This was a great video! I was definitely burning DC games back then, but I didn't know much about the groups or how they worked, or how repackaging the games worked, so that was great to learn. Anyway, I know you're a huge DC fan, so happy 9/9! (I appreciate the link to my vid, too.)

[@embracerodusk2537]

Dreamcast was amazing. Set the standard for what we have now. Didn't even realize today was the anniversary. Insane. I remember buying mine the day Resident Evil: Code Veronica came out.

Saved my life. Great outlet for my lonely teenage self.

[@whatdamath]

wow, brings back a lot of fond memories of college days - Echelon/Kalisto were also mostly reachable via IRC back then and had an incredible amount of super friendly people willing to share/teach everyone. In retrospect, makes you appreciate the old school social networks and how people used them back then compared to the nonsense that is happening on FB/Insta today. One thing you forgot to mention is that many of the group members were later convicted for one thing or another during Operation Fastlink in 2004-2005. Although that obviously didn't stop anyone

[@inlovewithi]

I always remember 9-9-99. The Dreamcast US launch, and Chris Rock was hosting an MTV award show that always used 9-9-99 during the promos. It was a huge day for that particular date.

[@blockyoxwinkle5829]

The Dreamcast was and always will be my favorite console. I'll never forget the day my mom brought it home and loading up sonic Adventure with my older brother

[@dimscrawl4910]

you should do more scene/homebrew history videos, maybe do a series like LGR's Tech Tales

I just bought my first Dreamcast today after learning so much about it’s incredibly cool history (I work at a retro game store) and I am so happy it’s a launch model and in mint condition! Thank you for this super cool info. What a neat obscure gem of game history. 💛🌀

I agree.

Still have my original Dreamcast that I got for Christmas 2000. The GD Rom Drive burnt out on it so I had to replace it recently with GD Emu. It never ceases to amaze me as to how much love gets poured into this console by its community. Whether it be the Dream-Pi to get Dreamcast games back online. Or the homebrew community who keep bringing out games for it. It is nothing short of amazing that even after 20 years, the community surrounding still has a pulse and still keeps it kicking. Love this little white box. Best Christmas present I ever got.

[@wulfffo]

This is a great video, always loved your videos, they have so much research and you even realesed it in 9-9-19!

[@amigaamigo5307]

I used to burn games with Nero, standard cd’s worked fine

[@aspinia]

I started burning games for dreamcast back in 2006 when I already played dreamcast games on the emulator chankast.

[@grn1]

Pretty sure the difference between mil and regular CD's is in the formatting not the disc itself so regular CD-R's and CD-RWs should probably work fine (maybe, there actually is a difference between -R, -RW, +R, and +RW but most disc drives can at least read all 4 formats without issue).

[@anononomous]

The Dreamcast could read burned CDs fine and burning reduced disc images CDs on a PC was fine too. It was only executing code off them on a Dreamcast that was the problem for Joe Pirate (which was solved with the mil CD hack, which in turn was baked into images you would burn with Nero). The work of reading, ripping the GD discs, making them burnable and playable on on a DC was done for you by groups like Echelon.

[@AlienSneak]

I still play with my Dreamcast in 2019.

[@mik3y80]

Quality video mate, You're Smashing KZbin now!

[@remakeyourself]

Oh man, the Summer of 2000 was one of my favorites ever. Holed up at home, ripping stuff for echlelon, , then going to a local store where some manager would give me $5 credit for every burned game I gave him, which I could in turn provide for the group. To this day I have an incredible collection of DC games and accessories including the agetec sticks, VGA adapters, and brand new copies of seaman... I just know I'm going to spend all day watching these retrospectives. Glad I started here, Thanks MVG!

Great look back! I remember back in the early 2000's I bought myself a serial cable and ripped my games myself, it was a heck of a process, taking about 24 hours per game!

[@Phoenix_SW20]

4:39 Man I haven't heard that Echelon tune in a long time. Amazing to think the Dreamcast is 20 years old now. The Dreamcast was my very first console. Growing up I remember receiving burned copies of games as a kid. I had the Utopia Boot CD, the Generator demo disc, and a Bleemcast disc for Gran Turismo 2. I didn't understand the significance of all this as a kid. All I knew was that I could play burned games and PS1 games right on my Dreamcast and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I still have my collection of games along with my original memory card and a Revision 0 Dreamcast. So many memories with this console. I can still remember the first time I booted up Crazy Taxi. Good times.

It really is quite difficult to explain in words how magical the Dreamcast was in the late 90's I went from playing Tobal 2 and Tekken 3 on the PS1 in 1998 to playing Sonic Adventure and Virtua Fighter 3tb on an imported JP system in the same year. It was mind blowing. For me, just as magical as playing Ridge Racer and Tekken in 1995 on the PS1 at home.

[@Lenmaer]

Nice video. Btw, 870 MB CD-R already existed back then. They were expensive but existed. I had bought a couple to burn some Dreamcast games.

A friend of mine had a Dreamcast. It crashed during bootup quite frequently but when it worked, it was indeed a great console. I've sort-of wanted my own since playing on it at the time but always thought it was dead with few games ever made. After watching, I now hope to get one soon!

Even though I was a young adult and had consoles before Dreamcast still remains my favourite, just as you say arcade in the home it felt like with some truly awesome titles, SEGA deserved way better success with this console I thought.

Happy Birthday Dreamcast! I didn't get it on 9-9-99, but I got it shortly after I saw people playing Soul Calibur! Probably my favorite old school console behind the Sega Genesis! A couple of years ago, my little cousins, aged 9, 11, and 13 at the time, borrowed my Dreamcast! It was basically their first game system, but they loved it! I had over 20 games for it, and they loved it! They are huge Sonic fans now after beating Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.
