Dreamcast Mic Region

Post by **TuxTheWise** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 7:17 pm

I want to buy a Dreamcast Mic to try Sea (a lot of spaces, long pause before continuing) Man.

Are they region free? Any special recomendation before I get one, or can I just grab one in eBay?

You mean the ones with the green fluffy tip? They're regionfree...

This has been discussed a couple of times before, but for future references;

All dreamcast peripherals are region-free (lightgun, vs-cable, maracas, twin stick, dc karaoke, microphone, midi cable etc etc etc).

"But how about the official SEGA light gun, it doesn't work with my copy of House of the Dead 2 (US)"
This is purely a software lock-out with US copies of House of the Dead 2 and Confidential Mission.

I asked mostly because it involves voice recognition, and I don't know if there was any difference in these accessories for English and Japanese.

Anyway, I did not know about these locks for the US versions of the shooters. This is a nice info to have.

The voice recognition software is built-in the software, not in the microphone. So using a Japanese mic with a US copy of Seaman or PAL Planet Ring won't give any problems. Hell you can even use that awesome official headset microphone of the Dreameye with all mic supported games

I guess the karaoke mic is out of the question?...

haha well one could perfectly butcher the DC kara microphone connector and make it compatible with the controller microphone adapter

This would make 'playing' Seaman like hosting a gameshow haha
