The dreamcast was the first console i completed the full set for back in 2013. I love this console. Top 5 for sure.

I wasn't able to buy the Dreamcast when it was out, but I bought one two years ago. I have all the games I actually wanted to get during the console's original run. I have all the NFL/NHL/NBA/MLB2K games and I play those instead of the current Madden and NBA 2K games. I have all the RPGs, fighting games and racing games. My Dreamcast plays Japenes games, and I speak/read enough Japanese to follow the text enough to get gist of what's on the screen. My youngest son loves retro-games and says they're more fun than the current Gen games. We're now focused on buying more games for our Genesis, Saturn and PS2.

I collect, but I only play on the GDEMU. I don't want to wear out my disc drive and damage the discs I bought.

I'm going for a complete dreamcast collection. I am not buying anything online only from game stores , flea markets and garage sales. It is very tough to find any dreamcast in the wild these days. But I'm having fun with the hunt

OUTTRIGGER also plays amazingly with the twinstick. I wanted to try Quake 3 with it but I don't have a Dreamcast anymore.

I had a Dreamcast when I was a teenager. We lost it all in a move. I'm now 40years old and want to start collecting it. I totally agree with valuing something more when you paid out. What RPGs would you recommend? Love the video keep making more like this!

Shenmue is a must play, Grandia II is also good. Those are around $50 each. Record of Lodoss War is getting up there, but it's a Dreamcast exclusive and one of my favorites. If you dig Diablo or any dungeon crawler, you'll see value in that game.

I'm 40 too, I started re-collecting having been forced to sell up in 2012. I won't lie in 2024 I'd say not to bother with original discs, had GDEmu been a thing when I first started rebuying I wouldn't have bothered going for the full set again. My honest opinion in 2024 is forget the og discs, put that money into a DC Digital modded console with GDEmu instead. All the games with the best video output you can get.

I bought a new and sealed Tomb Raider Chronicles and I played it on my Dreamcast but about 20 mins into the game it kept freezing, looked at the disc and I read that it could be disc rot, even when it's been sealed and looks/is completely new the discs are literally rotting away slowly. Another thing I want a GDEMU is for the noise, wow is the GD-Drive LOUD! 😂

It's really one of the best consoles of all time IMHO. Both of those games are great.

ARKANSAS?! HOT DANG MY MAN. I don't live in the area anymore but I was up in Conway for years. Just moved to Birmingham, AL in 2023. One thing I miss is how good AR's used gaming market was with GameXchange, GamePoint, and other smaller shops around. Very weird how Central AR developed a strong used gaming market. I mean it was popping even when we were kids in the 90s. I bought many a fairly rare game at GameXchange off Rodney Parham. Plus Hasting always had stock of low print games that you couldn't find in Wal-Mart or even a GameStop. My old house in Conway was right on the corner of Donaghey and Meadowlake. I could see GamePoint from my front door! I miss having such a good store so close.

I've had a few games that look perfect but won't play or even boot. I ended up having to buy them again witch is expensive when the games are near $100 a game. Now I have all these discs that don't work. Im going to try them in another Dreamcast some day.

This is an issue that will likely keep persisting, unfortunately. Too many variables. Bad lasers, disc drives that will probably need new capacitors in the next few years, and deep scratches on the discs. I've had a complete recap on my GD-ROM drive, and some scratched discs will play, others that are seemingly flawless have issues.... This is still super old tech that we're dealing with. I would recommend buying games from somewhere that has a good return policy. Mercari has been really good about that.

I would have one with new capacitors and reading discs and one with the sd card emulation, dreamcast had the best versions of a lot of ps1 classics like resident evil 2 and Spiderman, and marvel vs capcom 1... I would suggest getting the retrofighters controller, the OG controller seemed too uncomfortable for me cause I have big hands, hehe... the sega DC its still awesome but I would suggest if anyone wants to start now, really think about how much money are you willing to put out with... I started collecting for DC in 2002 so I got most of the games I wanted for really cheap but I see it daunting to start today

you did hold your zombie revenge disc up to a light correct? cause it sounds more like disc rot, i can't imagine a disc not playing for such a small scratch

I had one and I played KOF (King of Fighters on it. I remember the cut scene and being blow away by it! 💜 I played that and some affordable game game I bought at Walmart, and I remember beating that game, and the only scene I remember was a fight scene in a restaurant kitchen! 😅 What GDMU route? I know I could google it, but whats the fun in that?

The GDEMU is a replacement for the disc drive. Instead of using discs, you can play all of your games off of an SD card. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbmBpa-nsLCWj3k.html

can you adjust the laser
@travisbowmanmusic
@travisbowmanmusic 4 ай бұрын
You can, but it's highly recommended that you don't unless you know what you're doing. There is so much risk of damaging the laser even further, and then you'll have a dead disc drive.

Like I stated in the video, I highly recommend getting your GD-ROM capacitors replaced. I had similar issues with a few Dreamcasts not reading games, and now I have zero issues at all with games that are in good condition.
