You cant put original dreamcast games in a PC. The cd-rom wont be able to read the 1gig game discs. Get a vga adapter for your dreamcast. Daytona USA looks sweet with VGA.

what do you think an emulator is?

if you dont want to emulate the game on your pc, then you NEED a dreamcast to play dreamcast games.

its because it was only 2 games, so goin through all the trouble of hacking a pad or getting an emulator and roms just aint worth it, ill prolly just pass on the games.

You'd be missing out on a whole bunch of other great arcade ports that are on the Dreamcast.  Search this forum as there were a couple threads on a DC must have game list.

My machine will run mame, but mostly play the House of the deads, Golden Tee Golf, and NFL Blitz and Blitz 2001, which is sad because they are only for the PC, not mame  :'( So the dreamcast wont be a big deal.
