Warning: You did not disable the charging circuit when replacing the rechargeable CMOS battery with a “standard watch battery.” It’s not just that the CMOS battery died, it’s that the console wasn’t used regularly to maintain a charge. Of course, many won’t maintain a charge these days either, but the issue now is that the system is going to be dumping charge into a non-rechargeable battery. You can either use a rechargeable coin cell or add a diode to the resistor to disable the charge circuit.

5:06 Double check the choice of CMOS battery. The Dreamcast's soldered-in one is an ML2032, which is a slightly different one to the Sega Saturn's easily replaceable CR2032. Decide for yourself whether sticking a non-rechargeable battery into a circuit that will attempt recharging it is safe.

@emmettturner9452 3 ай бұрын

This. It is very easy to disable the charging circuit with a diode if you want to use standard non-rechargeable 2032. It’s possible that nothing was wrong with the original battery anyway since it’s usually just that Dreamcasts consoles don’t see regular enough use to maintain the charge.

@Thatonefuckinguy 3 ай бұрын

Was gonna comment this until I used my infinite wisdom to look up the comments. I moded my two dreamcasts, one of them having a dead battery. I'm pretty sure that ML2032 is fine as long as you let your console charge it for an hour or two though they are usually considered dead at about 2.6 volts.

A tip for future designs. If you have a fan and right next to the fan you have vents.. the air will circulate from the closest vents and out of the fan exhaust. In your Dreamcast, that means that you are not really circulating air across the entire inside of the case, just around that one side. Which can explain why your power supply was running warm. Which is why in the original case, the side with the fan exhaust did not have any other vents. Great work otherwise, can't wait to see what's next!

@WhatIsMatter101 2 ай бұрын

A lot of third party devs actually pulled out after the Saturn's shadow drop. They promised not to support Sega anymore after that. Thats why Sega had to build 2K Studios. Because EA wont make sports games for them anymore. Also: Sega's original graphics chip maker 3DFXreleased to the public they were supplying their chip to Sega. This led to Sega replacing them with the Hitachi chipset that was in the final version of Dreamcast. Unfortunately, EA was a shareholder in the original chipset manufacturer.

@breathoffreshair7314 2 ай бұрын

This is pure nonsense , and how does it have so many upvotes?!!? What happened was this: There were 2 Dreamcast prototypes, one using a 3dfx gpu, the other using nec powervr. The contracts were signed for the 3dfx one , then sega decided to go the power vr route , as usual sega japan wanted the japanese hardware and overuled sega of america. So 3dfx sued Sega. They settled out of court for millions. Guess who was a part owner of 3d fx at that time? EA. So EA then said to Sega, ok if you still want our games on your console, we want to be EXCLUSIVE makers of sports games on Dreamcast. But Sega had just bought visual concepts for 30 million to make their own sports games on dc (the 2k/sega sports games), so they said to EA , '' No, But you can be JOINT EXCLUSIVE along with our own first party games.'' EA said no. So Sega said no deal. So no Ea games ended up on Dreamcast. This is confirmed by Peter Moore in his Dreamcast junkyard video interview and court documents from the 3dfx lawsuit.

It's a good thing I have Sponsorblock that bypasses it every time and gives me a green color on the bar to let me know if it's a sponsor or not. I personally don't care if creators need sponsors to support their videos, but I know every single one of their videos that has sponsors in it, I don't bother to buy it nor give the discounts to the creators. If the creator decides to stop making videos, so what, I move on to the next person. It's only when nearly 50/60 percent of content creators/small channels up and vanish that I would start to have a problem with KZfaq. But sadly this is how youtube likes to operate their site, even after 20 years since it's started. Personally, I do think 2005-2015 were the better days of KZfaq before 2016 came in and pretty much ruined what KZfaq used to be and became the monster we all have a hate/love relationship with this website. But pretty much Google buying it out was the start of what KZfaq would end up in the long run up into the present. So yes, I don't like sponsors either, but you can always mute or skip them however you like, up to you.

you know your battery mod is not good because the dreamcast battery is rechargeable and it looks like you replaced by a normal CR2032 which will suffer from overcharge that dreamcast sends to the battery, so you need also to replace some parts of the circuits to not send power anymore to the battery and you can use CR2032 without any risk of damage.

Relatively quick sweeping motions - and keep that chip as cool as possible. Same goes for all soldering with chips.

If you're doing all those internal mods, including replacing the battery with a socket, you should also replace the controller fuse. The stock fuse, if it blows, needs to be replaced. You can get a resettable fuse (72v 400vA) to replace it. In the event of a surge or event that blows the fuse, you can just power cycle the console and it will reset, instead of requiring a replacement to be soldered in.

I do have a minor gripe at the lack of the "GT 90" signature look the Dreamcast had... This version just looks like a Minisforum PC with a logo on top. I'd sooner think it to be an emulator box than an actual DC mod... But it's amazing regardless.🤣 Just like my gripe against the PS2 mod, I think a "modern revision" should have at least a minor homage to the original. It's a rebirth for those who had it, to revisit the past in a new and enhanced light! I LOVED the idea of LED lights for the logo. That was the one thing I was going to recommend but you got out ahead.👍 It's a little hard to see the text up against that wood color. A lighter wood would definitely enhance it in my opinion. I'd say the PSU and disc bypass mods are near necessities with how fragile those games were and how relatively easy those mods are overall. (Really though, those discs would give out with the slightest nick or abrasion.😞) I'd be fine with the lesser HDMI adapter quality to save me that incredible amount of precision work. It's still better than composite.👍

Gambling ads are predatory as hell and should be kept in their corner.

Very nice! As the owner of two Dreamcasts, this video has me dreaming... The Striker DC controller needs to have a slot for a VMU. The swirl in the DC logo could be translucent white, and have RGB lighting behind it, so you can choose which colours you want it to be, or even animated.

@areyounecessary 3 ай бұрын

I love your builds, and will be doing a lot of these after I move in a few weeks... However, printing, even with all the consumables and time, is WAAAAAAAAAY cheaper than getting it machined out of a block of aluminum. Assuming that case is around 8" square, I'd estimate that to be 4-5 setups on a 3-axis, or 2 set ups with a 5-axis. I'd also estimate around 5 hours of machine time, at around $100-200 / hr, and probably 2-3 hours of programming time at around $100~/hr, if you can even find a shop to do a 1 off project like that. Most machine shops hate doing 1 offs because the initial time investment is significant. They might scrap 3-4 parts before they get the program right and the machine settings right, only to make 1 finished part for you. That said, you could probably do quite a bit with a bunch of flat sheets and laser cutting all of it, then bending or pressing it with 3D printed molds.

@ZacBuilds 3 ай бұрын

I was more referring to having it professionally 3d printed being cheaper. To have it CNC'd would definitely be more expensive, but you should check out some of the services by companies like PCBWay, you'd be surprised how cheap it can be. Also, it depends how much you value your own time 😉

@anon_y_mousse 3 ай бұрын

You might be on to something with using flat sheets and just shaping them, but it might actually be easier to make a mini-forge and melt scrap aluminum and pour it into a mold. Then you could do some finishing work on the shape after pulling it out, anodize it while you're at it. Might make for a fun project for version two if he sees this.

@areyounecessary 3 ай бұрын

@@ZacBuilds Is that a hint you're picking up PCBWay as a sponsor coming up soon? ;) And yea, I used to work at a machine shop and saw a lot of the work coming out of some shops in China, very hit and miss, but also took 4-8 weeks sometimes for delivery. So..... I do agree with you on how we should value our time. ^^ All that said, you could do a lot of the machining on your CNC and then just TIG it all together afterwards...
