Moving from UK to Japan – Looking for a modded Japanese Dreamcast (region-free or PSU modded)
Hey r/dreamcast,
I’m currently in England with a modded PAL Dreamcast that I love, but I’m moving to Japan soon and obviously want to bring the Dreamcast life with me. The problem is the voltage difference – my PAL unit is 220-240V and Japan is 100V, so it’s not plug-and-play.
I’d rather sell/trade my current one and get a Japanese Dreamcast that works straight out of the box over there. Ideally, I'm looking for:
* A modded Japanese (NTSC-J) console, preferably region-free (Cake BIOS or similar).
* Or one with the power supply already swapped/modded for safe 100V use.
Does anyone know good places to buy a reliable modded JP Dreamcast? (Shops, sellers on Yahoo Auctions, Etsy, specialized retro sites, etc. that ship or are based in Japan?)
Any advice on the voltage/PSU situation or recommendations would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!
