The Sega/Agetec stick just uses off-the-shelf Happ parts, so you should be able to buy replacement parts from happcontrols.com or any seller of compatible parts. The actual joystick on the Agetec controller is a Japanese style stick and Happ only selles American style sticks, but there's other deale...

They boot as a special program, but they'll also play as regular music CDs in any CD player. You create a MIL-CD disc every time you burn a CD-R of homebrew stuff for your Dreamcast, it's just that usually the CDDA portion of the discs we make only contain silence. You could put your favorite music ...

They released this really-simple update to region changer based on infos mathieulh said on this forum, at the time he though it was working, but it wasn't it was japan but with a blackswirl, he thought it was working because usually black swirls don't boot games. So it's not SWAT fault, nor mathieu...

So, Region Changer 1.6 is definitely not working as advertised? Darc, you did the internal mod on your DC as well as running the disc, right? Has anyone else tried it? Could it be that it works on some DCs and not others or something? I don't understand how SWAT and puch666 could release this withou...

Yeah, Cosmic Smash is not a bad game at all, it's quite fun sometimes. I only meant that it is inferior to games such as Lack Of Love, Napple Tale or Cool Cool Toon, but still gets more attention as an import, mostly because it came out a time when Dreamcast gamers over here had been stranded and we...

Cool Cool Toon works with the maracas in the same way that most any Dreamcast game works with the maracas, which is to say not well. The game requires very precise control and the maracas just aren't nearly accurate enough for it. The movements you make when playing with the maracas also have little...

Border Down. NO Under Defeat. MEH I'm pretty amazed that someone who likes shooters would not love Under Defeat. It's a full on classic in my opinion. Border Down I can understand more, though I think it's pretty good myself. Capcom games for Matchmaking Service (Streetfighter 2, Vampire Chronicle,...

DreamExplorer has no trouble recognizing non-visual memory units, at least not in my experience with a number of different models. It sounds like your card may be corrupted. You should try to get all your files off of it and format it. Even after the format, I wouldn't recommend keeping any importan...

:type: Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing you with an idea to explore the possibility of re-releasing that greatest of all undead consoles, The Vetrex. I hope and trust my plea will not fall on dead ears. I have included for your perusal some models to be incorporated into my new Vetrex game idea. It is ...

No, but when you're dead the worms will be able to play pinochle on your snout.

But 78.3% of statistics are wrong, so now I don't know what to believe.

Someone was kicking around the idea of a fishing rod-controlled action game a couple of years ago. I don't remember who, and I don't think the project got much past the conceptual "this would be neat" stage. But it would still be neat. Yeah, I think more homebrew needs to take advantage o...

Jeez, I've never used a Wii, but I sure hope the controls in Wii games are better than Soul Calibur with a fishing rod. That's certainly fun for a while with two people, but the game is really not...playable that way.

Now, with a keyboard...

I would imagine that there's just a raw SRAM image embedded somewhere within the VMU save. Of course, it would have Dreamcast save info and the icon and whatnot at the beginning and that would need to be clipped off before you could use it. If you compare a SNES9x save (or probably any emulator's sa...

Hah, I love it. The Dreamcast is like the Elvis of video game consoles.

You are misinformed. NeoGeo CD games store a small amount of copy protection data in the subchannel areas (at the time, pretty much no consumer drive could rip that). The original Neo Geo CD hardware though did not ever look for this protection, so standard 2048/2352 (iso/wav, whathaveyou) copies c...

To my knowledge, the only consoles that use unprotected discs are SegaCD, PC-Engine/TG-16, and CD-i. The 3DO also has no copy protection, either on discs or in the system. In fact, though, neither does the Neo Geo CD. Neo Geo CD games copy directly and backups will play with no problem on a real Ne...

Try searching for a "Joybox 3-in-1" It's a product that converts Dreamcast, Playstation or Saturn controllers to standard USB gamepads. The Joybox doesn't work well with specialty controllers, though.

I think Japanese game magazines sometimes came with Mil-CDs as promotional material. I know of a Space Channel 5 Mil-CD promotional disc that came with Famitsu. I don't have a copy of it personally, though, so I don't know about the catalog number or any of that. I don't even know if maybe it's the ...
