    Dreamcast

    Platform »

    The Dreamcast is the fifth and final console developed by Sega and the first of the sixth-generation of consoles to release. As the first 128-bit system, it was the first to offer truly arcade-quality 3D graphics. It is famous for being the first console to include worldwide online capability, its game library, and its unexpectedly short life span.

    My Dreamcast is working again! (and how to fix your DC)

    About a year ago  my DC started to have a problem. It randomly rebooted. I felt like playing DC again so I googled and found this   http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/19/t44179-dreamcast-reseting-problem-help/ it worked and was a fairly easy process. I've tried several games and so far it has been working like a charm.


    Also, people are still playing PSO online! Through private servers, but still. I can't join them since I don't have a broadband adapter and no phone jack for dial-up even if I had a dial-up internet service.

    Now that I've got that working I doubt I'm actually going to play much on it, but it's nice to be able to if I want to ^^

    My Dreamcast resets itself sometimes. On my last play through of Shenmue 2 it reset twice, but luckily I'd saved recently each time.

    Yeah I cleaned the pins on my Dreamcast and it didn't have problems since. It is fairly easy to do aswell.
