2PacMan:
I read on here all the time people wanting Dreamcasts and stuff.  I don' t know why....is it just for the games, or can these be hacked like an Xbox and used for emulation?

Just wondering, i found a store around here that is selling a Dreamcast + one controller for 20 bucks.  I want a hacked XBox and put all kinds of atari and nintendo games on it, can this be done on a dreamcast too??

You can directly transfer ISO images so it's easy to copy game discs. Plus there's no boot protection so you can load emulators and stuff straight from discs. You don't even need to pop it open to hack it.

On top of all of that, it has an impressive game library that includes many arcade games that didn't come out for many (or any) other consoles.

Still wondering why?  ;)

nintend emulator works perfect  ;D dont know about atari though, mame is slow and so is supernes, genesis is pretty good though, also gameboy is good

Dreamcast also (via a dongle) displays VGA.  This dongle can be hacked to Jamma pretty easy.  Heck the games are cheap and there are a lot of great Arcade Ports.  My DC has about 70 games.  Most of them I got bulk from ebay for about 3-5 bucks a pop.

Check into it.  The system was underated.

Also with the VGA box you can display dreamcast on 15hz monitors (ie arcade monitors).

Also there are alot of good arcade ports for the dreamcast, including gun games.

And how easy it is to copy the games helps with its popularity too.

And there are the emulators.
