That is amazing!

The only problem I see is the replaced modem, but that is incredible!

From what I hear, these should be fucking cheap as hell! This guy must be making money off of hardcore fans like ourselves for him to be making all this stuff to sell in his free time.

I'll bet you that somebody comes up with a good wireless mod for the DC. It could be soldered to the mainboard and have a butchered controller, but it could work, but how would you get the VMU signals sent to the controller and come on the VMU screen? Wishfull thinking I suppose.

I'd love to see that happen (BBA or wireless), but this is never gonna happen.

If you can replace to an BBA, I´m in.

Today I use two Dreamcast´s to play my games.

How does the SD-thing works? Can I play games from it?

That is amazing... :shock: ... and agree, wireless controllers would be great! Perhaps a DVD playfunction (wouldn't fit..but hell..would be fun)

Of course you can, but playing is not as comfortable as playing games from original GD-ROM. Few videos:

a) Headhunter

b)Zombie Revenge

c)Resident Evil 3

You must remember, that there are slowdowns and problems with loading many games - the newest version of DreamShell is not final version.

Also, CDDA is not fully supported yet, it could get better, but we must wait and see for ourselves.
