Hello Dreamcast enthusiasts

[Snake79]

Hi,

New member here from the UK, and a Dreamcast owner since 1999. It's my favorite games console and I still play it today.

I've recently made the transition from original Dreamcast hardware to optical emulation with MODE after my GD-ROM drive needed replacing for the second time. As I am not technically proficient beyond swapping disc drives, I decided to have a custom built Dreamcast with all the common mods and DC Digital HDMI output.

Now, 23 years later, I still enjoy playing some Power Stone, Sega Rally 2, Soul Calibur and House of the Dead 2 as I did back in 1999, and hoping to share that enjoyment with fellow Dreamcast enthusiasts.

I'd love to see some pics of the modern setup you have! Welcome to the homepage of the Dreamcast!

Hello, new guy here too! Nice to meet you. Also got a MODE. Besides the games you mentioned, are there any you hope to play online? Hope to see you in game!

I hope to take some pictures when I get the chance. My Dreamcast is connected to a Denon AVR for audio which then feeds video to a 65" LG OLED. I've been upgrading AV equipment over the years and the DC has always been part of my setup. Since having the HDMI mod, I think I now have a near perfect Dreamcast for the next decade or longer.

Thanks. My Dreamcast is not online but that's something I want to remedy at some point. How are you online, using the BBA or a Dream Pi?

I'm using a dreamPi setup via PC-DC server. Raspberry Pi units are tough to get right now, but I'll likely get one of those going eventually.

omg this sounds amazing! I think I have some new goals for my DC setup

A 65" is absolutely perfect for TATEMODE shmups, I definitely want to find a TV wall mount with a swivel feature, spinning the TV around depending on the game is getting annoying

Sorry for my absence on the forums for the last few months. There was death in the family and I was unwell for a while. When I returned to work I had a lot on and didn't have much time or appetite for gaming.

This weekend however I did get the chance to take some pictures and videos of my Dreamcast setup which I will post in the forums.
