Dreamcast question
Lilwolf:
Ok, now that dreamcasts are being sold on ebay for 20 - 30 bucks. I started thinking about adding one to my cabinet for real.
but the quests...
1) How many of the neomi games where ported? Most? How are the ports?
2) Has anyone successfully hacked an analog controller yet? I'm not sure if I can go for their steering wheels on a cabinet...
3) How many games require/need an analog joystick for games?
4) Can you do a button out that will work well for most games? (ie, is there any button layouts that work well where all buttons are accessable by only one hand).
5) Hate to say it... but I'm a little worried about access to software since they aren't producing any. Anyone having trouble getting cds for them? How about cdrs?
thanks

well, I can solve yer software doubt...eBay...there are tons of Dreamcast games for sale on eBay (most brand new) - also, lots of videogame stores still sell the games.
as for cdr's, most will read em, but, DC's made after a certain date (can't quite remember what...could be December 2001) won't read cdr's at all.
I had a DC a few years back, was a great little machine, totally regret selling it...and I had about 80 games on cdr's that all ran perfectly...

Most cps3 and naomi games are ported(i actually cant think of any game that are not ported).
Ports are about 99% arcade perfect...at times I liked dreamcast version.this goes for street fighter 3..i dont know..something is wrong with the arcade version..its just kinda slow(maybe its how the arcade set their machine).
Not many games force you to use analog..i mean baseball games requires analog but ya really wanna play baseball with arcade stick..pretty much useless.
Other that that..EVERY game I can think of uses digital(thats are supposed to be played with an arcade stick).
Just 6 button street figheter setup will do the trick for all the games.
There wont be any new game BUT there are plenty that will keep you busy..I MEAN..sooooooo many great games on DC..i honestly like dreamcast better then ps2 and x-box because dc has more arcadish type games then ps2 and x-box..freaging box suck so bad..its been collecting lot of dust lately.. :( >:(
