2:30 / 6:06 pro tip: before opening basically EVERY console, turn it on for 2-3 sec. without having it attached to power. That'll make sure, all caps are "empty" and there's no more power that can hurt you left in the console. Then you don't have to worry as much when touching the power supply or basically anything inside the console. This should be said in the beginning for every beginner tutorial when it comes to taking apart consoles.

9:09 The Dreamcast DOES support composite video, as well as RGB and VGA. Weirdly, although the system itself supports these video modes, certain games are not made to work with RGB or VGA. In those cases, a composite video cable is a useful fallback solution. Oh, and some cables are a real tight fit in the Dreamcast AV port, so make sure to push them fully home if things don't look right📺

The GDMU doesn't need has much power as the original cd drive, so you can swap the power supply for a PICO PSU, also yiu can swap the original fan for a Noctua fan o make the system quieter.

@snintendog Жыл бұрын

just swapping the drive alone makes the system quieter... though you dont have the cheat of when a Random battle will happen when the disk grinds to alert you of one.

Yeh! me to, Although It's very clever, were slowly losing our original consoles, And if were not careful every one of these wonderful consoles of our era will be modded, And the history of these AWSOME legends will be gone forever. Yes we will still have them, But not as we remember them. Every console will just have Modderd boards in them. It's sad to be honest. I have tons of 80's and 90's consoles, as well as the brilliant DC, And there's no way Im'e doing this to mine, Just so i can play free games. It's killing our memories, And our history mate.

Just one more thing, Although It's clever Doing these mods to these old legendery consoles, eventually there's gonna be less and less original consoles around, Cause they will all end up being Modded, Which in one way they will end up being extinct like the dinosaurs did. OK they will still be around, But not as they once were, They will all have no disk drives, and instead have modded boards in them with thousands of games on them. BUT they wont be like we remember them. Technology is in one way ruining our past as we remember it. shouldn't we be protecting these wonderful consoles of the past, and restoring them back to when they were made. It's clever in a way, But sad at the same time my friend.
