If anyone cares, there is a way physically alter the Dreamcast with a bit of soldering talent.

... Yeah I saw that article. But the best soldering I have ever done is make a iPod charger out of a 10 dollar kit and a altoids tin... Come to think of it was pretty cool...

My tv is a old CRT but a large one. It has some disortion at the right side making it so that when you fall down a large shaft in Metroid you get a weird warping effect.... You can see it at points in my HL lets play video.

I believe its not the black border that burns in the screen, but the image of the video and only when its paused for a really long time

I've never seen black borders burnt in before, only text & images

Mazonemayu is correct (as usual). It is caused by the prolonged display of non-moving images (text or graphics), gaming, or certain TV broadcasts with tickers and flags like that channel logo on the bottom of your TV.
