[Classic] How about some Dreamcast love?

Hello guys,

I still love my DC, with all of the homebrew games, imports, and simply amazing titles that I can't play elsewhere. There are a couple of new games coming out for the DC real soon in Japan, and the system is 7 years old (and supposedly "dead" for almost 5 years!)

The new games that are coming out for the DC:

Last Hope is coming on 01/2007

Trigger Heart Exelica

Also, there has recently been a commercially released home-brew game for the console:

Feet Of Fury

Is anyone else still enjoying their DC, be it for commercial games (arcade-perfect MvC2!), homebrew (QuakeDC looks like fun), imports, or what-have-you? Heck, there's a free dev kit available for the system, if you're good at programming.

Also, if anyone can help me boot a legitimate (not a CD image) Import DC game it would be greatly appreciated. I bought a copy of Giant Gram: All Japan Pro Wrestling 2, and I can't get it to boot using the Utopia boot CD or a Gameshark CDX. What methods do you use to run your legit imports?

DC was a fine system that fell victim to having been made by Sega. I don't play fighters as much as I used to, but I still have mine nearby when the need arises for some real MvC 1 and 2 and Project Justice. Also, the emulators work surprisingly well for it...The Atari 2600 one (StellaDC I think) is great (since I can't get it to work on my computer).

Will I be able to play my import without a modchip? I have a launch model (09/1999) Dreamcast, and it plays every burned CD I put in it. I've only had to use my boot CD on a couple of early Echelon games, but it's kind of a shame that I can't play the game that I payed for. I'm going to try the Action Replay demo next (it also acts as a boot disc). After that I'm out of ideas short of buying a Jap DC...

The DC was a great system for its time, but ended up getting crushed by Sony when the PS2 was announced. Thankfully there's still enough support for the system that smaller companies in Japan are still making games for it (mostly 2-D shooters, but FUN 2-D shooters!). You should give Radilgy/Radirgy a try if you have the chance.

I also like that I can use my system as an emulator, a VCD player, an MP3 player, a Linux box, etc...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah...Shenmue 3 would be nice. Maybe we can get Sega to produce that and Nights 2 and put them out on a 2-disc double pack (yeah right )

Can anyone recommend a good Playstation > DC controller adapter, and a good place to buy it now that Lik-Sang is gone? I'd like to use a joystick on MvC2 and a dance pad on DDR 2nd Mix!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah...I remember getting controllers for $.25 (!) and official VMUs for $1.25 (new!!!) when Toys R Us cleared out their DC inventory.

About a year ago a new copy of Crazy Taxi 2 showed up at the local Toys R Us. I asked the manager about it, and he said that since it wasn't on the system anymore, that I could get it for .01. That was a good day
