what type of connector is it? I have several standard coax TV cables, but if its a different, annoyingly specific one like the Mega Drive 2 then you're out of luck

They won't work. The Dreamcast has a bespoke connection.

DC one of the most underated consoles EVER - FACT

mel the bell · Post by **mel the bell** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 1:22 pm

yeah thats why i wanted one

also the fact id got hold of 5 cheap good condition games in charity shops

and its supposed to be excellent for homebrew

i thought id give it a go

and when i found one in cash convertors today for Â£9.99
even missing a tv lead i thought i had to grab it

It's a fantastic machine,far better than PS1 and N64
Arguably better than PS2
By the way,what games did you get?

mel the bell · Post by **mel the bell** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 2:56 pm

id already got...had em ages

cos i found em for about Â£1.99 each in charity shops
very good condition

Chu chu rocket
ECW hardcore revolution
MSR (Metropolis street racer)
Resident evil:code veronica
WF attitude

not amazing but a good start
and only a tenner for all five

a tenner for the console plus whatever koops wants for the lead.....not much i hope

a neighbour has a keyboard..............what can you still use the keyboard for? i presume the online access is long dead?

Typing of the dead? (import)

Some games allow you to type in your name,you can use it for that
(also I assume if you're going to use emulators,a keyboard may be needed?)

*prepares to wank censored*

BONUS

just got the dreamcast out, opened the shrinkwrap, moved the console about and heard a noise

what can you still use the keyboard for?

'Hidden and dangerous' use's the keyboard for button shortcuts

mel the bell · Post by **mel the bell** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 3:33 pm

changed the thread title now seen as i might be getting the tv lead and its turned into a general dreamcast chat

chu chu rocket uses the keyboard too?

trying to remember what games i saw in cash convertors too
for about Â£2.50 / Â£3 each

revolt and roadsters i remember seeing, shouldve bought em now
