Post#1 » Wed Apr 06, 2022 9:29 am

Follow this man on Twitter and show some support...He has custom molds of Dreamcast Controllers and VMU's with their parts as well... From the looks of it hes been at it for awhile refining the molds..hopefully one day we will see some stuff released

!!!!! UPDATE !!!!! The guy said on twitter that in two months time he should have stuff available for purchase, I cant wait to see what colors he will have made, this is definitely gonna be dope

Maybe a title change to something more apropied like "Silicone mould & acrilic shell parts for dreamcast" because those are mostly a do it yourself tutorial and are plenty of those for this kind of technique.

This gentleman Roarke has been making incredible stuff for years but I was under the impression that his business was a small volume / boutique affair, mainly due to the meticulously handcrafted nature of it.

Everything you said is absolutely true, which makes it even more impressive, on his twitter he said he made some Dreamcast VMU parts for the Video Games New York website but from what I can tell all that stuff has long been sold/removed from the website... He also said the owner of VGNY has been encouraging him to make more stuff for the community
