Question regarding Dreamcast and Cabs
« on: September 06, 2004, 10:36:59 pm »
How many people actually have a dreamcast with hacked pads hooked up inside of your cabinets? I see all this raving about them but i dont know if your just talking about it being inside of your cabinets played with arcade controls or just hooked up to your tv.

As soon as my Coldheat soldering iron comes in off backorder, my Dreamcast is going in my cab.

I have the dreamcast in my cab.  It has a lot of games that are arcade control friendly.  A few of my favorites are MvsC 2, Ikaruga, Soul Caliber.

I was very disappointed with that thing.  You don't want to solder anything even remotely small or intricate with it, it sparks like crazy, and be prepared for the tips to break off at seemingly random times.

If I were you, I'd break out the old soldering iron and just get to work... ColdHeat isn't going to help you much IMHO.
