Sega Dreamcast

[Dogbert]

Yo,

There are some good points in visiting god forgotten countries like Portugal (except for being with my girlfriend).
I just bought a Dreamcast for the sole purpose of playing Soul Calibur (too bad I couldn't find the game )
Meanwhile Ie been trying to check over the net to see how usefull it might be for other things. I saw it can play MP3, browse the web (modem ) etc.

Does anyone know anything usefull about this toy ? Should I but a keyboard ? Install Linux ? etc. etc. etc.

Try not to put "Damn, you're stupid !" kind of remarks in your answer, if any

If you can rent Soul Caliber just make a copy of it, you don't need a mod-chip! My buddy bought one and his system isn't modded, plus all he has is burned copies. When you play one all you'll see is a warning message then you just continue on and play away.

But apperently the cd's are hard to copy. That's probably the only down side.

On the other hand, the games themselves are excellent, rivalling even the newest consoles.

Surfing even on a SVGA display is disagreeable. I tried at work when they were testing an internet game over modem on a DC. If you do, get the keyboard and the mouse. I believe the newer browser discs could use a mouse.

god forgotten countries

I really don´t know who´s country god forgot the most

[Dogbert]

Nuno,

God forgotten countries include Portugal, Costa Rica etc.
All those countries you never hear about in the news because everything is ok there.

I wish Israel would be god forgoten without any of those "holy places" to fight for or to use as excuses for war.

[Nuno]

Sorry, I guess I overreacted a bit as it sounded as you were refering to Portugal with some disdain. That´s ok then
And I do feel for what´s happening over your country.

So, be welcome

You can't copy Dreamcast discs, 'cuz they aren't CD's. You CAN, however, burn the rips that are floating around on the Internet.

Depending on who's asking, I may or may not know a couple of people who may or may not have burnt at least 40-60 games each that may or may not have been downloaded from the internet.

Thanks guys !

In the end I decided not to be cheap (and maybe stupid instead) and shelled out the money for:

2nd controller
2mb memory card
1 shock thing for 1 controller
a nice case to put it all in
and the games: Shenmu, Dead or Alive 2 and the one and only - SOULCALIBUR !!!

/me is a happy person now !


The things I still need are:

The game controller with the stick (like in the real machines)
An S-VIDEO cable for the dreamcast
A lot of free time to beat the crap out of them fighting games !

What happened to the GD-ROM for PC that Sega was going to release?
