Hello everyone a few months ago I found a web page that described how to turn a european dreamcast into a universal dreamcast without using modchips or boot discs, but simply by using a controller with VMU and the DC keyboard. During the boot-up procedure, you had to type a command with the...

Hello everyone I have a question regarding the DC GD-Rom unit. Do all DCs (European PAL, US NTSC, Japan NTSC) use the same GD-Rom unit model ? Or is a PAL DC GD-Rom unit different from an NTSC DC GD-Rom unit ? Could I swap them ? (that is, putting an NTSC GD-Rom unit into a PAL machine and...

Do these games (VOOT and F355) switch to 50 Hz on a PAL DC or do they still run at 60 Hz ? If they switch to 50, is there a way to force them to run at 60 ? Thanks again Flavio P.S. Anybody have any info about the Aerodancing games ?

Hello everyone I have a few questions about games that support the DC to DC link cable. AFAIK, the following games work with this cable: VOOT, F355 and some games in the Aerodancing series. My questions: 1) do the US and European versions of these games support the link cable too ? 2) how...

Go here: http://www.ncsx.net (or http://www.ncsx.com) Go in this section: Shop->Dreamcast->Accessories Hope this helps Flavio

Arakon, does your multi-bios also work with the Genesis CDX system ? thanks, Flavio

why ? Suppose Sega resets the old copy. If the guy who had the CD in first place buys another copy and continues his game with a new different serial number and access key, why should that disable the old copy again ? Wow :) how complex ! :) Anyway, I suppose all this means that the DC does...

Hello everyone :) I have a question about Phantasy Star Online. I was going to buy this game, but I just found on the net the following information (probably these are old news for many of you, in this case please excuse me for talking about it again): this game requires a serial number and an...

thanks for the info Arakon ^_^ If it lasts so much, there should be no problems for a long time ! ^_^ By the way, do you also know if the battery gets recharged when the DC is connected but turned OFF ? I am asking this because in these days I rarely have time to play with the DC, and when I...

As far as I know, no rechargeable battery will last forever anyway. Sooner or later, it will become unable to recharge itself. The Saturn battery is easy to replace, but what about the DC battery ? Can that be replaced too ? And by the way, I just noticed in the DC manual that it says that in...

I have a question about the dreamcast battery. If I do not use the DC for 10 days or more, it loses completely the date/time settings. This did not happen with the Saturn. Some people told me that if I leave the DC always connected to the power outlet, the battery will be recharged even if the...

Hello :-) does anyone know any places where to buy online a Dreamcast (new, if possible) priced between $50 and $80 ? Thanks, Flavio

Thanks to everybody ^_^ I'll try your suggestions :-) By the way, in a data/data format, is 3 or 4 seconds really important for the first session ? I suppose it should not matter as long as I set the LBA offset correctly in the second session... Thanks again, Flavio

I tried with a couple of games (F355 and Virtua Tennis), but got two coasters :-) The first one was already selfbooting (but using the audio/data format), the second one was non-booting. I used Bin2Boot to create the image and Discjuggler to burn it. As I said, the result was a data/data CD...
