-There's this forum which is the most active one I look at these days
-DC scene seems to be empty
-Assembler has a dreamcast forum, but it's not too active
-Reddit has a forum, but it's generally not too active either with just a handful of posts in a month
-there's a Russian forum I think, but that's in Russian ;)
-isozone has a forum, but it seems kind of dead these days, and it was mostly just people asking for isos anyway

I m wondering the same thing for months. This is how i found dreamcast-talk and i m glad that i did. I also tried dreamcast-scene.com but it doesn't let me register. For some reason, every email i gave its rejected as not acceptable (or something). I sent a message but they never answered ? Is it possible that the DC-Scene that you said happens to be a new version? I wish there would be more forums with DC communities, talking about games, news, nostalgia, reviews, internet gems etc. Not hacking, technology, emu stuff. i have 2 of them but its not that active (5-10 post per month) and its in Greek.
Hope someone know any active retro talking forum for DC or Saturn

I actually came from onlineconsoles, which really isn't very active at all. Postings are rare. They do, however, have Dreamcast downloadable content on their website.

I'm not really sure why you would want more DC forums. Is Dreamcast-talk not good enough for you ? Is there anything in particular you think is missing here ?

Haha no don't worry guys I'm not looking to leave or anything. I was just wondering if there might be a more active place. I've seen communities for sega saturn or neogeo - each of them also cult classic "dead" consoles, that have much more life than this forum does these days. DC Talk is pretty active, but there are certainly slow days where we don't get any new topics or questions. I just wanted to see if there were other worthwhile communities where I could obsess over DC as well, but I think DC Talk is it as far as the most active forum.

As i said before i m really pleased to find Dreamcast-talk. And i already passed it to 2 friends of mine (retro gamers too). The reason that i wish there were more DC retro talking forums is that i m a bit gready i guess :p Dreamsast-talk is enough for me, everyday talking about my favorite console. Maybe a bit more members' activity would be great. Maybe thats why i was looking for an extra forum with DC retro topics. Still...this forum has already become my top 5 day visit :D Gongrats for that, ofcourse!!!

Interesting! Is there any chance of uploading this DLC data to a VMU by way of an SD card Adapter??? I'd really appreciate it if someone can elaborate...
