Not really. doesn't look the part of a portable device lol! Perhaps if it was a bit more compact.

Ah, but it could've been some kind of hub or something. This is SEGA 10 years ago we're talking about you know. Quirky things happened back then... ^^

On the topic of tricking people and fictitious dreamcast hardware...

Do you guys want to see a picture of my "Dreamcast 2"? I'm dead serious, I "built" one back around 2002, by putting the guts from a DC haphazardly into a new case. I don't even really remember why I did it, I guess I was pretty bored as a teenager.

Oh come on, don't make us ask for it.

Talking about the picture of course...

Looks a bit modern to be actual DC hardware IMO.

DS sorry to semi hijack your thread, but I really didn't feel this warranted a completely new thread creation.

Presenting the Dreamcast 2. As imagined and constructed by myself 10 years ago. It plays original dreamcast games, and uses original dreamcast controllers... and doesn't really do much else since it's just a DC in a different case.

Image
There is probably a significant risk of electric shock, the entire case is metal.

Image
The power button on the front right actually works.

Image
You have to slide the top of the case entirely off to place a game on the spindle, but then you can put the case back on and everything works.

Looks like an old floppy drive. Yep, this is definitely the product of boredom. :)
