VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
I'm coming back! And In this installment, I take a beaten and battered Dreamcast and transform it into a true article of beauty. I service the power supply, perform a never-before-seen battery modification, as well as install the illustrious DCHDMI to achieve truly digital, 1080p HDMI output.
Special thanks to all of my friends who took part in my comeback to KZfaq!

You're my mod inspiration Voultar, those videos with soldering tips really helped me out to get started. While I can't even fathom to do what you do, I was able to replace my dead save batteries on my Gameboy cartridges, and more recently started modding my own GBA's with backlit screens. So thank you Voultar.

I had seen rumblings that they weren't the best idea, and eventually came across your thoughts on them, so I checked out your KZfaq to see if there was a video on how to mod the original psu. Shout out to Console5, I've been using them to recap all my old Ataris so they'll continue to get my business for Dreamcast as well.
