First time dreamcast owner checking in
Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2025 1:32 pm
Hi everyone,
I’ve recently picked up my first dreamcast console. An early PAL VA1 from what i can gather - it still uses the VA0-esque metal fan. Strangely, there were no screws attaching the PSU to the case but im unsure if that is expected?
Today I modded the console, adding a GDEMU (clone) and swapping in a DreamPSU. I’ve got a 12V 5A DC power cable coming later on too to help with any video noise etc.
I did buy a noctua fan and mount kit, but annoyingly my model isnt compatible with that mod. Note to self, open the console before making purchases next time.
Either way, really enjoying tinkering with my first ever dreamcast at the moment, open to suggestions on any mods/games etc. and looking forward to chatting to you all some more!
