Hi all,

I am UK based and have owned my Dreamcast since 2000. I have slowly built up a collection of PAL an JP games but with the way prices are, I have ordered a GDEMU.

Are there any particular points for me to be aware of?
Is over heating really an issue or not?
Are there comple region sets to download?
I am also learning Japanese so I would also be interested in a JP set if one exists.

Many Thanks

Overheating is (edited) only applicable to PAL consoles.

Archive.org has most dumps in the right format.

200gb card gets you most everything you'd realistically play

Thats great. Thanks for the info

you're from USA and you have an NTSC-U console, on PAL consoles of the region, alas, overheating is a reality.

I never realize that, thanks for letting me know.

The extensive tests were all done with ntsc console. I'll remember that and let people know

Thanks for the info. So a quick google search shows me:
Pico PSU
Dream PSU
the standard fare of Chineese knockoffs

Does the community favour one over the other?

I have a pal version, psu is enough for the heat issue ??

a pico psu or a dream psu will be ok.
You have also the possibility to "patch" one thing on your psu board.

Have not tried it myself but i heard a lot of bad things about the pico psu.

i have installed this in my pal dc, buyed on aliexpress, received in belgium really quickly.

Dreampsu Rev2.0 12V


work like a charm, hope this is enough to prevent any heat problem.
