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.
Okay, #Dreamcast crew. I need your help. I think someone is wrong on the internet. (Boosts appreciated!)
This sentence caught my eye in Wikipedia: to promote Space Channel 5, Sega arranged for Ulala to make virtual appearances at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000 and 2006, both times presenting the award for Best Dance Video.
Since today is the 24th anniversary of the release of the Dreamcast in North America (9/9/99), I'll share my own odd Dreamcast story.
I'll preface it by saying I was 19 in 1999, and wasn't really playing video games, I was moving back up the coast after finishing high school. So I have very little experience with the console.
But three years ago in February, I was driving home and spotted a Dreamcast box on the top of my neighbor's trash. And I thought, oh cool, a Dreamcast box. No way anything is in there. So I grabbed it.
But there WAS a Dreamcast in there. Nearly complete, too - with controllers, manual, even a game (see photo). It looked brand new, really. Missing the cords, but after a friend on Twitter gifted me a cord, it started right up!
Can't imagine why someone would throw it out other than kids leaving home or maybe revenge against a boyfriend or husband or something? Or maybe they just didn't want to sell it or take it to a thrift store? Anyway, their loss, my win. At least I saved it from sitting in a landfill.
I have no games for it (I sold that basketball game), and I don't need em- eventually I plan on putting a GDEMU in it to emulate. I hear it's pretty easy.

Review for Marvel vs Capcom on Dreamcast from DC-UK 3 - November 1999 (UK)
I don't think it needs to be said even, but I strongly disagree with this score.
As happened at the start of the PSone generation, 2D games were looked at as old crap that should be kept to the previous generation.
Same thing happened with the Dreamcast to a certain extent.
OC This is an older one I did; It's Thinking, by me.
