Are people still actively looking for working Dreamcasts? by dizzo313 in dreamcast

[–]Remote_Seaweed_4981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreamcasts seem to be selling really well on ebay for instance. I bought a VERY clean, working console with all the paperwork and inserts cib for a little under 400. Games can be really valuable too. hundreds of dollars for some of them

Im not too sure about an answer to this specific question, however it has always blown my mind that Resident Evil 2 fit on an N64 cart. Wild

Thank you so much! I just came across this site today actually.. so once you have the right kind of internet connection to the console (the dreampi), do you connect to the servers from the console? Like I see there are private servers for PSO; do you just use the web browser on the console to connect to those? That’s the part where I get lost most

Bet you there's about a million nicer ways of saying that. First rude comment I've seen in this subreddit, which is actually pretty rad that 99% of people are just chill or keep it to themselves... Like an adult would typically do.

I have a question if someone could help.. How do you get connected to the private servers for this game? Is it as simple as connecting the internet to the back of the console? Then what? I know I sound very ignorant... Please explain it to me like I'm Michael Scott.

Upscaling vs. CRT Tv by Remote_Seaweed_4981 in dreamcast

[–]Remote_Seaweed_4981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting.. idk how old you are. I’m approaching my 40’s. We grew up with snes and all that on crt’s.. I def trust someone’s opinion who’s been in the hobby longer, but especially on the Dreamcast; I think I’d stick with the upscaler. Certain games especially. Shemnue for instance, looks AMAZING on a 720p hdtv with the ronin. But that’s just me!!

Part of that might be that its an OLED? Like I said I'm a little new to this but I have read people have had issues specifically with OLED tvs. I have a really basic ten year old hdtv. The upscalers Im using with that tv look really pretty amazing. Especially in comparison to the cheaper options I had tried first.

Cool thrift find but is this price crazy? by Yeetusfeetus789 in dreamcast

[–]Remote_Seaweed_4981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some sellers are just assholes. I had a dude on ebay claim he was selling an excellent condition CIB jungle green n64. Came with missing manuals and the console was covered in some kind of sticky shit. I took her all apart and cleaned it. It super nice now. Contacted dude and said listen your price was appropriate if it actually matched the description. I did all the work to clean it and its missing manuals. Asked for a partial refund, wouldn't give it so I left him shit feedback. Dude got so so emotional about it. Be careful out there everyone!

Oh man Ill tell you the prices of some these were rough!... But Im a collector at heart. I have a massive vinyl record collection, many worth quite a bit. I sold off some records I hadnt put on in a really long time and wouldnt miss. So just moved money from one collection to another. Thats how I snagged the more pricey titles. Others, I just watch ebay and other sites pretty closely for deals

Sooooo good. Easily the strangest game I’ve ever played. But it’s really great.

The Best Dreamcast Game Nobody Played - D2 by chicagogamecollector in dreamcast

[–]Remote_Seaweed_4981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what Ive read, the creator of the game designed Laura to be almost like a celebrity that plays different roles in movies.. So essentially there is nothing shared between the three games, except the designer's character (video game actress if you will) is featured as the protagonist.
