Works fine with 400. I've tested with 4 controllers, 4 VMUs, and 3 jump packs. I know I have a fourth jump pack somewhere but I can't find it. lol Kind of doubt one more jump pack would throw it over the edge though.

the original fuse is designed for 800ma

All I can say is that 400 works. Better too low than too high.

better exactly as much as intended by the manufacturer

Anyway, back to topic. How about them katana files?

Nooo! Don't do this! It's there for a reason. By doing this you're risking damage to your controller. The best thing to do is replace it with a 72v 400mA resettable fuse. If it blows, it can be reset by just powering off the Dreamcast for a few seconds.

oh lol, I have this done on my main Dreamcast that I've been using for 10 odd years now

megavolt85 is right, but what is not being factored in is the 'slow blow' nature of both types of fuses.

the 72v 400mA polyfuse is the goto replacement part, despite being under-current to the original design. it is readily available. i've never heard of an issue in normal use cases.

Just been through this topic and realised I forgot to say THANK YOU to everyone who found, ripped and GDI/CDI'd these titles! This is amazing work by a fantastic and enthusiastic community. ^_^
