I sell them on Dreamcast Live. You'll have to be quick to get one though as they sell out fast when I have one in stock.

but it says usa only? and out of stock :( :)

Free shipping is US only. I do ship them international but you're responsible for shipping. I have one in stock right now. I removed the "out of stock" notice a couple hours ago.

Edit: I just sold it but I should have another one in stock next week.

I'm just mystified. The video has been up for a couple months. Why did it all of a sudden spike in views in the last couple days? I was thinking it might have been posted on a major gaming site like IGN but not as far as I can tell. Heck, I'm not complaining. :D

Lets give this piece the 'Colbert bump.'

Also, as far as I know, the dreamcast has been online since 9/9/99 (perhaps earlier even in japan). Did the dreamcast ever truely 'go back online?'

By "The Dreamcast is back online", he means his Dreamcast, not the Dreamcast in general. :)

Well in my opinion youtube videos or sending links to individual people isn't the right approach if you want to get a whole bunch of new people on

Putting the information in places where many people can see it has a higher chance of getting one or two more people in here out of every 50-100 people that see it. Like I said on my other post, going around to bigger forums for more general gaming communities and posting is the way to go

Ill make some new posts on assembler gamer and maybe on onlineconsoles too. I think people are afraid of the LVI because they think its complicated. Also there seems to be a demand for dreampi kits. I might start manufacturing a few myself and put them up on ebay

even though r/gaming has a lot of subs the content there isnt really the best, it's mostly memes, look at my cosplay or xyz gaming related thing i made! stuff like that, A better place to post would be r/games as it's a lot more serious and news/discussion based, I think to get more people online someone needs to post there whenever a game gets revived and crosspost it to a few other subreddits like r/retrogaming, r/dreamcast etc and link to how to get online in the discription.

Well yeah, r/gaming was just an example of a larger community than this one
