Looking for rare accessories.

Post by drunkn ghost »

I just found this forum in my search for a few items. I am happy to see so many people still enjoy this system. 8-)

I originally bought a Dreamcast in 2000 for the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series which is still my favorite racing series of all time. I recently picked up another Dreamcast along with Tokyo Xtreme Racer 1&2 and Shutoko Battle 1&2 after replaying all the Tokyo Xtreme games for PS2. If anyone is ever looking on ebay for the Shutoko games make sure to check both spellings for the best deal. They are listed under "Shutokou" and "Shutoko"

Alright I will get to the point. I like to collect things and I found a controller and VMU that I have to find. They are the D-Direct carbon series. Here is what they look like.

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-s-4 ... -37ft.html

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-v-4 ... -37fk.html

I contacted play-asia since they are the only website I have found that ever sold them and asked if they could track down any more used ones but they can not.

I have found a used VMU on a japanese auction site but It is hard to navigate and I am not even sure if I could place a bid correctly or if they would ship it to the U.S.

If anyone has these items or knows where to get them I am willing to pay a good amount for them. I will even hook someone up with a finders fee if they find them someplace I can buy them from that speaks english.

Thanks for the help.

Controller: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sega-Dreamcast-Drea ... 51890a530f

You're welcome.

No luck on the VMU I'm afraid.

Thanks for looking. I found that controller on ebay a little while ago too. :lol: I just spent the last 2 hours looking under everything listed for Dreamcast on ebay. I am pretty sure that is the same one on the play-asia site but the picture is not very good. I sent the seller a email to make sure it is the right one.

I have always been searching with "D-Direct" since I thought play-asia would have the correct name but after I found the controller and did some searching a lot more people refer to the brand as "Dreampoint". The weird thing is you can find stuff under both names. I wonder if it just sold under different company names in different regions?

I can't believe the price on some of the games. I guess I am lucky and we have a bunch of vintage video game stores in the area, they even have a selection of imported games. I have been rebuilding my Dreamcast collection relatively cheap compared to the prices on ebay. I go by them all the time so if anyone is looking for something let me know.

I just searched for "Dreamcast carbon".

I have a complete game collection, so I'm good. But there are probably some people who would take you up on that.
