"Oh good it's almost time for my mid life crisis" oh dude I feel that.

If Sega ever releases a Dreamcast mini it better come with these enhanced features out of the box.

I love how you and Wood spoof each other it's freaking great!

"this was still the early 2000s, we have not evolved to 30 fps yet, we are still working with 60 frames" freaking savage

I love how the gaming youtubers reference each other. Hooray for community

My body is ready.

The cans haha! Liked! :D

Ive been watching your videos daily since the beginning, and this is one of your absolute best. Good stuff, i miss the Dreamcast.

I was 18 when the dreamcast came out and I rented the console 4 or 5 times. Shenmue forced me to buy the system. I imported it from japan. One of the best consoles ever made. The sports titles forced EA to buy out the madden series. 😔😔

"we hadn't evolved to 30 fps yet, we were still working with 60 fps" oh snap. it never gets old.

I mean the Dreamcast *is* Already over 20 considering the Japanese launch date And also the Megadrive is also 30 now Feels strange

"20th anniversary" "Oh good it's almost time for my midlife crisis" LMAO

You're chugging too many of those Polar Springs. They keep piling up

That triple monitor setup though 😉😮

My favorite console. First time I played Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver.

Glad you shared this Spawn Wave. I want the HD capability with the Dreamcast but I don't want the GDEMU. I wish SEGA would totally recreate the Dreamcast in HDMI so gamers can play their physical games on it. I don't want to see a Dreamcast Mini, just recreate the hardware in HDMI.

These are not useless mods. I just did the DCHDMI mod and I cannot believe how amazing it is. Totally worth the money and time to do it.

Oh, do tell. I just bought a MINT Condition Launch Edition Dreamcast for $82.00 with 2 games and a demo disc, original controller that looks in really good shape. I also have in my posession a DCHDMI kit for it already. So i would love to know what else can be done to this underrated Console.

Just got my DC digital kit in the mail today from Dan , I’m beyond excited to get it installed ! Ive heard nothing but good things

I hate you! You just gave me my midlife crisis aswell! 20 freakin years since i had a blast playing Sonic Adventure? The Dreamcast was so f...amazing! Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 Shenmue Resident Evil: Code Veronica Soul Calibur (My first midnight release game) Jet Set Space Channel 5 Crazy Taxi Just to name a few!

Who else still plays their Dreamcast to this day?

"We haven't evolved to 30 fps yet" 😂

Happy Sunday

I love the pile of cans growing on the desk as the video goes on haha

Brilliant tech video Jon(SW). The Ultimate Sega Dreamcast looks absolutely amazing :-D 👍. I am definitely up for a Sega Saturn and Dreamcast Minis :-).

This videos gonna get millions of views, I’m calling it.

I was waiting for this ever since you mentioned it last week, and it outright broke my heart when you said $150 for the HDMI board T_T Also nice, totally legit Powerstone 2 backup you got there

This is incredible. If I had the money I would definitely pick one up.

I like the cans gathering in the background, Haha nice touch.

Now if someone could make a VMU with a rechargeable battery that charges through the controller, that would be great. Anyone who had a Dreamcast back in the day will remember that horribly shrill beeping a ‘dead’ VMU made every time you switched on the console.

Aw man, the price of the required components is a bit steep for me currently. But as someone who has never modded a console, this is something I'd love to try...

Dude this was your most impressive video yet, and that's saying something because your videos are usually awesome. Keep up the great work!

Just got back into collecting for Dreamcast. Best console ever.

I never owned one but I had multiple chances to play one. It’s where I found my love of fighting games :,)

Sega needs to make a Dreamcast 2.

Tony hawk was not only a great games to play but great games for finding new music. up till underground i love the soundtracks as much as the games same with need for speed up till undercover but with ea and activision publishing these series and how money grubing they are now even if they did make new ones they be husk of there former greatness.

New sub here I am glad that your doing things I wish I had confidence to do. I like this video because you show what it means to have nostalgia and love for such things. I bought my dreamcast when it was first released in Jpn and it still is in mint condition minus the orange box it was in (old man dad didn't protect it correctly in storage) but overall I had such a great experience with it as many did when I had house parties or events. That little box of love did its job until corporate messed up and left consumers here and in the UK hanging hard. Jpn was still holding on but eventually couldn't due to not have global revenue intact. Fast forward and now with Sega in the business of software as overall profit I hope they make use of the current status and make a mini Sega Saturn mini dreamcast to make up for the owners especially for us that took the punch in gut for them as they left us after. Good job and enjoy the classics!

midlife crisis involves buying a sports car with a REAL stick shift...

After 3 long years of learning and waiting I finally managed to install this kit myself onto my dreamcast and let me tell you IM EXTATIC! I am extremely happy I was able to pull this off and what helped me was having the right tools for the job. Please if anyone reads my comment and wants to try this mod PLEASE GET THE RIGHT TOOLS Also watch many KZfaq videos at this point that SHOW YOU how to do it correctly with the right soldering technique. I OVER THE MOON PLAYING MY DREAMCAST IN HDMI ON MY FLAT SCREEN TV!! Oh and by the way THAT DREAMCAST MINI NEVER CAME lol so I'm glad this mod is still relevant to do in 2024 and at this point I don't think Sega will ever bother to make a mini version of this console I recommend doing this mod because ITS SO REWARDING!

God dammit how am I supposed to see your video with tears of laughter in my eye.

Love how the pile of cans in the background slowly add up to a giant pyramid....

Spawn Wave should be on the list of authorized services. :)

I use OSSC and set of VGA cable instead of HDMI. The GDEMU is super easy to install with basic knowledge. Overall great way to extend the life of Dreamcast gaming.

I loved the dreamcast. Ready to rumble. Loved that game.

Wait, did you say evolved to 30 frames per second? (Plays Dragon's Dogma on Switch). My god, we went forward by going ass backwards

Your content has changed so much since then

I'm laughing my ass off in one second. God even Jackaboy can't get me to do that!

Love the AVGN nod. Not surprised and I love it.

A video that RGT85 cannot possibly make!!!

One thing you are missing is the DreamPi.

Looks really good, throw a Gaming edition Mcable with it would probably look amazing.

You can reset with just GDEMU using X,Y,B,A + START which is a bit weird but easy enough once you get used to it, although with some stuff like dreamshell you need to use the reset button.

so we gonna talk about the gradual build up of polar springs cans lmfao

You’re an inspiration to my channel.

This is nothing short of amazing!

Love the Dreamcast! Was a pre-order buyer. Didn't get the PS2 until lately since I moved to the Xbox from DC.

So cool! The Dreamcast was a really special console for me 😊🙏

I got my dreamcast at least 3 years after it was discontinued, i had tony hawk pro skater 2, jet grind radio, sonic adventure 2 and sonic shuffle

I enjoy how these KZfaqrs poke fun at one another

We need to talk about your drinking problem....

Oh man that Soul Calibur looks great! Good job getting that all done too.

I guess I got prematurely excited to watch this. Definitely want to do this to my Dreamcast which is currently collecting dust in my closet, but I'm not currently in a position to blow $170+ to mod it. Definitely don't think I could solder that ribbon cable without potentially messing something up.

Super exciting! I’m tempted to try this but I need a micro soldering iron.

Scanlines are what hides a *lot* of aliasing in games, it wasn't so much the blurriness of CRT - that was down to composite cables - as RGB/SCART/VGA looks absolutely incredible and crisp. CRTs used scanlines and the way that came out helps the overall image due to the way your brain automatically fills in and extrapolates missing data. Effectively scanlines are MISSING pixels, just pure black, but our brains extrapolate and fill it in to give the overall image even greater clarity and detail. Without scanlines (without CRT, basically) you're left with the cleanest, crispest, image, but also all the aliasing that comes with early low-res 3D :( The DCHDMI may be shockingly expensive, but it at least has an incredible hardware-based scanline functionality. I strongly recommend enabling scanlines pretty much permanently :D Also, in regards to Soul Calibur; the Dreamcast version was actually SUPERIOR to the arcade version, since the arcade was still running on the older Soul Edge/Blade engine, whereas the DC release was improved with a new engine and better visuals. Great stuff!

That is Awesome. Hope you have fun with the Dreamcast. You can easily tell it looks a ton better from looking at it. I imagine the graphics from back then with some rough pixel edges. But those look clean.

You should download Firmware 3.x for the DCHDMI which will allow to use the HQ2X Filter, which takes really good care of the Aliasing....

All I want for the Dreamcast mini is updated VMU, microphone, online games and Keyboard/Mouse support.

Nice nice nice , always always always anticipating new Saturn , Dreamcast stuff ... any region don’t matter

I loved the Skit at the beginning! That was hilarious! But regardless Those games really do look fantastic upgraded like that! Shame Sega hasn't taken the chance to port or remake many of these Classic games.

The MCable would be a great addition to this modification, improving image by adding antialiasing.

Sees Dreamcast video while scrolling. Instant SUB

You make the best videos out of all these KZfaqs!

JSRF was my jam on the original Xbox, and the soundtrack is iconic.

Omg in min 18:55 you can see the drops of water of the rain ... that mod is awesome

The games look great. Guess I'll have to save up that money. I would break my Dreamcast installing it so I'll have to get someone to else to do it.

You may need to replace the PSU too, as the system gets very hot with no GD-ROM drive drawing power.

Damn dreamcast looks really good.

This is your best video!! Thx spawn wave! 🔥🔥👌

Hey guys, this is Austin!

I loved the Midway Arcade ports on the Dreamcast I would love to have this modded Dreamcast for those alone.

My DC has always had Crazy Taxi, Power Stone 2, or CVS2 in at ALL times.

I like the style experiment

I think Tony Hawks 2 was actually developed for the Dreamcast while THPS 1 was ported, IMO you can really tell with the better visuals and slicker gameplay with the 2nd game. My fav' in the series as well, although I was gutted back then that 3 didn't come out for the Dreamcast, when the Playstation 1 got Tony Hawks 3 and 4.

lmao that ending

The presentation style of your video is fantastic.

I wish there was a Dreamcast mini!!! I reckon ya' could make one with a Steamdeck... Hmm...

Great post thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to start this project. Have a great week.

Try using an m-cable on it

Good morning spawnwave?!!!!

Hmmm a Dreamcast Mini... now that would be a success!

they could totally reboot crazy taxi as a Crazy Uber haha!

Cool and educational vid! Thanks! Games I thought looked unplayable they look great in hi-res

I wish I could use this chip with lesser known systems. Would love to put hdmi on a 3do or cdi.

Nice video, but you didn't show the recently added anti-aliasing feature! (on the DCHDMI, it's called HQ2X)

Love this already also more and more cans are being added is awesome

i bought a dreamcast to help the time pass while i was waiting for the gamecube to launch, the dreamcast was good :)

The Dreamcast actually already has a built-in in-game reset that takes you back to the system menu. Hold down A+B+X+Y+Start no mods required.

Very cool project!

I just put together a MintyPi(that’s a Raspberry Pi Zero handheld game emulator in a Altoids tin) so now I’m looking for my next project. I have a release day generation one Dreamcast(my baby) that is collecting dust right now. I may have to try this mod.

Love the Beat Em Ups joke, although you have 100% more shirt than when you;re on his channel. Also, I feel your pain. I got my Wii U 3 days before the switch announcement dropped.
