Personally I've never had a problem with the way this game looks. It looks just fine to me. Sort of like the Ready 2 Rumble series graphic style. Anyways, I'm glad that some of the game makers here put their 2 cents in. I really think the complainers do not understand the game making process and the...

Well, my dreamcast stopped again and did what yours did. I can confirm on my machine that it was do to overheating. I put my dreamcast in the freezer a few minutes to cool down and all worked fine again. Perhaps my fan is burning out and unable to cool the system fast enough. Maybe try replacing the...

Well, the reason I said what I said prior to this, is because my machine behaved in a similar fashion. The fan would run, but nothing else. Not the orange indicator light or the boot screen. However, I did the previous steps I mentioned and the machine worked. I also checked the metal pins that some...

My best advice is to take the dreamcast apart and clean out any dust. Especially near the lid lever at the back by the dramcast. Make shure that lever is moving freely and also hits right on the shell when you re-asemble the machine. I would also take out the controller board and check out the F1 re...

I ended up using the electrical tape. This worked well as to the gravity issue. I still get the resetting issue. I believe that is caused by the vmu to dreamcast signals. It seems most related to full vmu's then to less full or ones with a lot of save space on them. I'm no expert of any sorts but I ...

It's not EB Games. EB Games was great before the buy out by Gamestop. There used to be Funcoland, Software ETC., and other Independent places some video stores that sold used and new stuff. Then the great monopoly came and now life sucks trying to find stuff. Gamestop corp. took all the great classi...

Seeing how I'm a successfull tech guy now. I will atempt this job alone. With my mighty powers of deduction. I concluded, I will use electrical tape to boost the thickness of port #1's port hole. Thus in this rather crude but effective way. I will be able to defy gravity once again. Driving the forc...

Thank you for the link. I'll keep that in mind, but I was hoping to fix this myself. I thought with all the techies around here with volt meter's. I could get someone to explain a possible solution. It may be that I just broke the F1 Resitor. Which seems to act like a main fuse for the whole system....

How to fix Dreamcast, where's the info?
I now have a broken Dreamcast which is in need of repair. Everything works on it except the machine will not boot. It does not beep and load into to rom bios. The gd-rom and laser work and the fan runs o.k. It is a ntsc December 2000 model. I figure it's not that bad as everything seems to run. Howe...

How many of you thought there would be this many commercial games on the 2007 roster. It's like a Cuba thing with all those old cars staying alive. One day the Dreamcasts' we own will be made up of used parts from various places. I'm talking about the age of the machine and the end of the gd-rom pro...

I see it's past the prospective release date. Nothing new. I just hope there is not any trouble publishing this and other titles. It cost's a lot, but from what I've seen. All the recent Dreamcast releases sold out. So I do not see a money issue as far as making up production costs. Maybe Q1 2007 is...

No leads... HUH! No one has any idea or maybe I did not explain this well. Do to gravity and unplugging of my controller. The connection hangs low. Not flat and even. The normal position is not obtained. This then leads to the system resetting during game play. Probably do to a signal malfunction. H...

Fix controller port...
Is there a way to tighten up the connection to the controller port?
Port #1 is loose do to the over use of unplugging and plugging in my controllers.
This is leading to malfunctions and problems. So I was wondering if there is a mod or repair I could do to tighten up the connection points.

The hardest side scroller I have ever played. I average 45 seconds of screen time before death by bullet. I look forward to the gameshark codes. I do hope someone is working on them. I do not understand why easy level can not be easy. The games looks and feels great, but is too hard for my tastes. I...
