What next?

It's just not a very good game, unfortunately.

I remember always seeing it at the top of game lists or retail shelves, especially cheat websites like GameWinners, but that was only because they were in alphabetical order.

I was (and still kinda am) obsessed with airplanes so AeroWings' case always caught my eye.

The game is somewhat visually impressive, particularly the draw distance. Otherwise, the game just totally sucks and honestly isn't worth playing at all... bummer.

Glad I got AirForce Delta instead!

I hear good things about the "game", and I want to be able to unlock all of the characters in Marvel 2. Should I shill out money for this thing?

This is what I have so far. Third Strike and Expendable doesn't work and Power Stone collection is obviously a bootleg. Any other recommendations?

As title says. Aliexpress GDEMU clone 5.20.5. Booted up, have used it for a few hours, no adverse effects, everything seems fine. JDM HKT-3000 model with metal fan enclosure and Yamaha GD ROM drive. Also has an aliexpress USB-C PSU. Interested to see how it fares long term. But so far everything is running cool, interesting how much lighter the console is once you ditch the stock PSU and GD-ROM. I was emboldened to do it as GDEMU clones aren’t that expensive now and I figure I can swap the GD-ROM back in if the GDEMU blows up. Of course it’s your own risk!

The joke is that I'd take all this over a PS5 pro or a PS6 anyday of the week.

When Sony first announced no more physical something went off in my brain, and I set out on a journey to own my favorite system of all time (again) (Dreamcast) and the other SEGA system that I didn't get to play as a kid (Saturn), and after not too long it's all here.

Here's how it went down:

First, did an offer for the Saturn on EBay. Came with 2 controllers, then ordered the Saroo from Aliexpress.
Won the Dreamcast on eBay on a bid. Came with 2 controllers, system, and memory card, and Sega GT.
Found the Twin Stick from someone on a forum.
Did an offer on ebay for $80 for the Agetec stick from someone on EBay!

I'd say half the fun was hunting it all down, but the real fun is actually playing.

TRY TAKING THIS AWAY SONY

My 12 year old self is screaming right now. I found a perfectly good projector for $13 at a thrift store. Pairs wonderfully with my dreamcast

Hey everyone! Back again with another update to share continued progress on my Star Wars Trilogy Arcade port for Dreamcast. I've begun work on the main gameplay portions, starting with the Episode IV stage. It's still early in development with visual bugs and non-functional scoring, but it has been encouraging to see Model 3 geometry and assets even running on Dreamcast. Please enjoy this short preview!

Hello guys!
I want to show my project for Sega Dreamcast.

It's called Dream Menu.

It´s a full custom boot menu for GDEMU. An actual new interface, made to feel like part of the console instead of something bolted on top of it. Everything runs off the controller, no keyboard needed (but still supported).

Games are laid out in a carousel by category with synopses, so you're not launching stuff blind. It runs in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian. There's a Last Played sidebar list so you can jump straight back into whatever you were playing, and a few carousel speeds because some libraries get big.

It also gets online, either through a broadband adapter or good old dial-up, and once it's connected there's a chat built right into the menu so you can talk to friends without backing out of anything - plus an AI assistant in there too, the part I'm honestly most proud of, that you can ask for game recommendations or hints.

It's in the last stretch of testing right now. Should be ready pretty soon. If you want in when it drops, leave a comment and I'll send you the link to waitlist if moderator approves it.

I've been working on something for a while now and figured it's finally time to share it here.

Video is in my channel.

My Street Fighter disc doesn't load up. I see a scratch and a few very small holes like in the picture. Do yall think it's the scratch or the little holes and if it could be fixed?

I decided to pick up the ThunderPSU. I got tired of using External PSU's with my modded DC and I switched over to the ThunderPSU just like the original, you simply just plug it in and you're all set, no external power supplies and no USB C adaptors needed. Back to the old school two pin plug that you can find laying around your house, and it's essentially specced exactly like the original with ultra low ripple output along with it running much cooler than the original PSU with universal voltage, no Stepdown and no step up converters needed.

The only downside is it does cost slightly more than say the ReDream or a Robot Retro Power USB C Board paired with a good adapter like a Meanwhile PSU or some Anker adapter. But it's still well worth it over those, simply due to the fact that I can just plug it in and play. No need for sourcing a quality external PSU or having to repair/recap the original PSU and perhaps having to use step ups or step down converters. If you want to fully deck out your DC, a PSU like this is the perfect choice for it. But I would love to see more PSU's like this. I want a modernised PSU for the Sega Saturn and the OG Xbox, that you simply just plug in.

Still my favorite system to this day. And im glad there still making and porting new games all time ...
