URGENT Need Help!

Post by DaMadFiddler »

I can't get the fishing controller to work properly with Seaman. How else am I supposed to catch the little bastard? I also noticed that it's not working with Ecco, either. I was hoping to fry up some dolphin steaks... I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't seem to get the damn thing to work.

My Dreamcast is a launch model with the white plastic shell and the little Tamagotchi dojigger that goes in the controller. I also modded it with some sweet tail fins and a spoiler hoping it would make my games go faster (more aerodynamic), but so far all it's done is make my friends laugh at me. Could the fishing rod be incompatible with the fins? Maybe since it has fins the Dreamcast thinks it's a fish, and is rejecting the fishing controller for fear of hooking itself.

Plz halp?

This is a common problem. What you need to do is put the entire unit inside anus.

Okay, I tried Boney's suggestion but it just wouldn't fit. I seem to recall something about the Dreamcast having hardware antianusing; that could be creating a conflict.

Have you applied the Goatse patch to your anus? That's been known to fix antianus incompatibilities.

lol. If jamming it up your butt doesn't work, taking it back out is the absolute worst thing you can do. All future methods should be done with the unit still firmly lodged inside. Inserting a games console up your ass is a "all or nothing" kinda fix. You've probably bricked it now sorry.

What, and risk shorting it out with all that water? Do you think I'm an idiot?

You couldn't fit a little Dreamcast up your anus so that's a silly question. Richard Gere has a blog about this kind of thing you need to investigate.

In that case, I'm interested.
