Received a brand new copy on my birthday, created my Hunter, got connected, and finally reconnected with this wonderful video game.
My username, class, and designation are the same: Van Halbgott, HUmar, and REDRIA.
Most underrated console ??
It was never underrated, my homie still won’t STFU about MvC2
Not the homie’s fault that the Dreamcast is the king of arcade accuracy, together with the Neo Geo AES.
The Dreamcast was just stronger than the PlayStation 2 when it came to putting sprites on the screen.
It was also the primary home platform for other, now legendary games, like Street Fighter 3 (not arcade perfect because it’s a port from CPS III) and Capcom vs SNK 1 and 2.
He’ll keep talking about it until you understand it
Didn’t it have the crazy taxi game, and one of the original rainbow six games? I still remember discovering a particular bug with a submachine gun and flashbangs that would reset a match. So satisfying if my friends started winning a little too much…
Maybe the most magical console to me. I’ll never forget my first time seeing the players’ breath/the replays on NFL 2K, playing at the demo kiosk in Toys ‘R’ Us. I was totally smitten. I recall a golden light emanating from the kiosk.
That game was amazing!
How did you get the Dreamcast connected to a server?

I didn’t own this console when it was released, but I remember being totally enamored with it. I thought everything about it was just so cool. The boot screen, the console shape and look, the games on it. It was just so cool. I have since purchased one as an adult and it is one of my favorite consoles of all time. There is a timeline where this came out and competed against the ps1 and not the PS2 and we live in a world where Sega is in Sony’s place.
It did compete against the PS1. Unfortunately it only did so for about 18 months before the PS2 blew it (and everything else) away.
I remember being enamored with VMUs.
I thought it was so neat plugging something into your controller that seemed somewhere between a miniature GameBoy, a pistol mag, and a N64 rumble pak.
Are you within driving distance of central NC perchance?
If you are - I have a 27 inch sony Trinitron you can have. I always see you post and I just want you to be able to enjoy your games on a device they were designed for.

Okey dokey
That’s really generous of you. Thank you for being who you are.
♥️
A half decent up-scaler is so much simpler, energy efficient, and portable. Like a RetroTINK 2x Pro. Sure, it’s $140, but it works great at upscaling 240p signals.
Well yeah, but it also looks worse.
If one still goes with upscalers and likes diy projects, the GBS-control is also definitely worth a look.
Honestly - good point. Much more affordable and space saving option all around
Still have my DC and copy of PSO. Save still loads to, IIRC (it’s been a few months since I tried playing PSO). Great game, one of my favorites of all time. I still listen to the OST.
I love the OST in this game! You might appreciate Titan by Jason Richardson. Everytime I hear it I think of PSO. https://youtu.be/kVNfPg-VKbw?si=bzFCjfzHWPNZ99pu

god this game got me through university. i loved it so much.
This game was a lot of my childhood, but i can’t help but get the impression that booting it up today, it would play like trying to plug a usb cable in blind. It’s got to be janky as hell. Still the nostalgia would be worth it.
I loves me some nostalgia.
The fact this game is still online is just amazing.
One of the best games of all time. I play BB on a private server now. Skyly was always my ID.
It’s too bad piracy killed the Dreamcast.
