I owned a Dreamcast 20 some years ago. It was one of the funnest systems ive had. It sadly got destroyed in a flood. Ever since then ive been on the fence about getting another one; well I figured, theyre getting old and its gonna be impossible to find one soon, so I bought 2 (kind of on accident, I won a bid i didnt intend to)!

Im super pumped. I already have way too many consoles but the dreamcast is just too awesome. I know I'll likely have to do the sd card mod and replace the psu, which is fine.

I was also very excited to see the online hobby community is still alive!! I would LOVE to get mine going for some online games someday.

Now to make space for it or decide if I can part with another console 🤔

You can mod it with an sd card to avoid any parts failures.

Any good links to where to get that kit? Im having trouble finding a reputable one.

I don't have one so I can't vouch for any sellers. I was just following the development of it when it was first released.

Yeah, GDEMU seems like hes way backed up or maybe not making them now. There are some $100 China knockoff on ebay but id rather pay the guy for his work...

Here's hoping my disc drives keep working for a while!
