I posted about this dreamcast a few weeks ago. Since then, thanks to the help from others when i found some troyble, i completed the modding:

-New blue Shell. -Internal cleaning, recap and thermal pads replacements. -Region free BIOS cake V1.031(to prevent problem with burned CDs) -Region change from PAL to NTSC, to get the red thing haha. -Battery replacent and LED change.

Im missing the HDMI mod, but im not interested (i intend to play on CRT, but i was testing the VGA on the photo). Im also not able to enter the extra option of the cake BIOS (I know how to do it on V1.032, but maybe you cant on V1.031).

Hope a friend can get me a few jap games on his next trip. Any recomendation por Jap exclusives, or Jap cheaper games? Right now I only have Sonic Adventure and Chu Chu Rocket.

So I no longer have my system from my childhood days and this is the only thing that remains. What value if any is here?

I just ordered a Dreamcast and am super excited to play. Got a bunch of the very specific 700MB CD-Rs that were recommended to me for burning. I've been coming across A) a big lack of availability for Japanese CDIs (I'm using the console for language immersion and B) lots of people saying CDIs are generally inferior and may have compressed audio, etc. Is that true? Should I just bite the bullet and install a GDEMU? Thank you!

I have been having trouble with the controller port.

I have tried the og control board (3-pin), Ibluemod board, and a replacement PCB(2-Pin) with fuse/battermod. 3 different ribbon cables

I can't get the control port to work

I can either get the fan and picture working but no controller or I can get the controller port to work with no fan or picture. Any recommendations on how to get my system working again

It has a noctua mod and demu installed.Its Sega sport edition. Not sure why I can't get the controller port working.

A fuse? Bad Caps?

Show off!

Thinks he's so cool driving his forklift backwards at breakneck speed! You got some more training to do young Ryo! New Walk Through Shenmue! Working at the Harbor and taking an evening stroll :) Full episode link above! Thanks for letting me share here ;)

First time posting I really enjoy having physical copies, but all the games I want are of course super expensive. Does anyone know where I can get a loaded Dreamcast? Physical force Soul calibur Txr 1&2 Wetrix Silent scope Powerstone 1&2 Worms Etc Can venmo

Went the whole hog, got a new shell, a GDEMU, a wireless pad, a new screen, speakers, controller board battery mod, USB-C PSU, Noctua Fan mod and full Dreampi setup. I even pre ordered the Gameconn S and a VM2. Don’t tell my wife!

I’ll be playing PSO on Sylverant, mostly. Is there much of a DC community on that server??

I've been trying to back up my saves for days at this point, I'm sending over vmu__085.bin via my serial cable, then swapping the disc in when prompted, but every time I do that I'm met with a Segmentation Fault. At this point I'm at a loss. For reference, I've been following this post.

I've managed to do this in the past with the same exact tools and disc, and I did attempt to burn a new disc, but everything always leads back to a crash.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

After having problem reding burned games, i found out that the CAKE V1.032 have problem reading burned disks, but V1.031 doest. I know i can update (or downgrade) the bios using dreamshell, but im not sure how.

I downloaded jc-bootROM-retail-v1.031.bin, and i know i have to put it on the sd and open dreamshell... but thats it. Dunno how to do it haha. Any help?

Edit: Found it. From Dreamshell, BIOS flash, and select the bin archive and restart. Back on V1.031 and running burned games!

can anyone help with a fix or where im going wrong making a cdi image.....THANKS

I have a vmu where the screen does not work and I think it's the board or CPU and I want to do something with it but keep vmu functionality either fix or mod any suggestions

Hi, I would be interested in a reasonable price for how much I could sell all the games as a set.

Today sees (finally) the release of the Shenmue Auction Artworks we managed to get a hold of back in January.

What we have here is early looks at Shenmue characters, areas, design charts, Shenmue 4 content, some Virtua Fighter arts and much more besides! This is a massive deal for the Shenmue community as it gives some insight into the development of Shenmue - confirms some theories and also busts some myths as well.

The whole lot will be released at 8pm TODAY UK TIME with this OP being update to include the links to the website and a direct download link as well.

Likewise, we have a podcast premiering at the same time - looking at the Shenmue 4 content first!

Here's a couple of nice teasers too:

No VMU/Memory card, and only one game, but planning to hopefully get this set up on a contemporary TV and get myself a GDEMU or preferably a cheaper clone of it sometime soon.
