I painted my Dreamcast pink and white! I messed up a bit with applying painter's tape that caused a bare spot above the triangle on the lid, but I'm still happy with the result!
You can choose a video game that never existed to come out on just one game console to happen. Which one would you choose? I would definitely go for a completely new Panzer Dragoon for the Dreamcast. 🌀
I talked about how fighting games were one of the genres that made me jump from the PSone towards the Saturn in 1997 and how it ended up not only being my favourite system that generation but overall as well.
This video is a great example of the wealth of fighting games released on Saturn, but also the Dreamcast.
Dreamcast fixed! Turns out the culprit was a stupid thing. Last year I borrowed the noctua 5v fan from the Dreamcast to use on my Orange Pi 5 and never put another fan back. After spending a lot of time trying to debug this weird issue, changed the PSU to a PicoPSU, changed the gdemu for the optical drive. It would always turn off a few seconds after boot. Apparently the DC has a safety shutdown in case it won’t detect the fan is working 🤦♂️ #retrogaming#sega#dreamcast
Hmm this #SEGA#Dreamcast#GDEmu is probably a dud. Bought it 1-2 years ago from AliExpress (so I guess it’s a clone?) and it worked fine. Played a couple of times and worked fine. The SD card was brand new as well (not from AliExpress ;-)). Sometime later started having these stuck at loading issues but could get past it. But currently, it’s not getting further anymore. Bah.
First time...?
