err, you should do some math here with this thing to get it right, for instance if you were to use a 3,3v led, and put 3,3 v on it, and then you should measure the current using a multimeter, then using the formula u/i=r (u is voltage, i is current, r is resistance) you should be able to calculate t...

kewl gaara, im studying electronics to, im going for the bachelorate, and i am thinking of speciallizing in computer tech too!

really kewl you know jut building pcbs for the fun of it, too bad i dont have the knowledge yet to do it (second year)

cutting a wire to the power switch will work, but remember, all the power running the dc is flowing trough those wires, 230v, and some amps too, and off course you will need to press the reset button for a litle while, try quickly turning power off and on again, the dc wont reset, it will keep going...

erm, not questioning your skils, but what would you do with a printer on your dc? there is no real word processor for it, and network stuff can be done with a bba

could you design a bba? that would be very very kewl, ar maybe a hdd or fdd interface

but i still think it would be kinda useless

for the hard reset, you basicly need to wire the power on circuit trough the pad, and somehow i dont think it would be a good idea, having 220 volts running trought the pad, it might cause a shedload of interference

the soft reset simulation sounds good

raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i hates you allllllll

im living in holland, dcs here are at least ?100,($125 at current rates) if you can find them at all, how dare you destroy a dc wich had still some potential left in it, if only for a casemod?

i have seen the pics for it, i just dont remember where

google: http://www.geocities.com/ddrhomepad/

hope this helps

your right, i looked it up in my telecom book (student in electronics), and the baud rate states the amount of modulations per second, or as you put it bps

im not gonna check the math, ill think that is ok

mmm i havent played h&d on the dc yet, but i remember from playing the pc version it was buggy as hell, it took me about 20 tries to get to level two, and not because level 1 was that hard, but because in 90% of my tries, the game would lock up on me, rebooting time

you guys actually build own dc mods using the quake engine? kewl

i would like to see a scifi shooter of some sorts on dc, maybe an idea?

fire pro wrestling, i mean come on guys, isometric sprites on the dreamcast in a seamingly 3d game? who ever came up with that deserves to be shot in the knee caps, have his arms put trough a meat grinder, the bloody stomps scorched shut, en then be slowly lowered into a tank with a group of agressi...

border down, and that wierd new japanese game, something: the will to fabricate

and ikaruga is indeed the creamof the genre, it is the best top down shooter i ever played

i succeded in opening gba cartridges (those damn nintendo screws of pain !!!#@$%$#) with the nail file of my pocket knife, it is a bitchy method but it worked

imagine returning a game like zelda back to the store, with earth worm jim inside!

i have a fix for that, if you were to isolate the 5v (or whatever voltage the controller works of) wire from the built in pad, and put a switch in it if you use the switch in off setting the built-in maple chip wont be powered, and the dc will think there is nothing in the socket, so you can still u...

i picked up a second dc a while ago, checked the thing, and it works most of the time, i exchanged it for my lil bros psone with 9 games, then i got a sony lcd screen and some stuff for a total of 125 euros i got a psone with lcd and 10 games, and my lil bro has the pleasure of playing a dreamcast )...

hi guys, im new here, but after browsing the forum i got this awesome idea why not gut the dc modem, and build in a vmu or other memory card (im thinking of the sega 4x card, pretty small and 800 blocks) i was thinking it could be done, rip up an old dc pad, strip the controller board down untill on...
