Posted by SignOfZeta on November 23, 2020 at 10:43:13 EST in reply to Wait, is this going around to turn my functionally perfect all original DC into some hacker piece of shit? Does it physically replace the GDROM drive? I want to play real games on it still. I guess I can buy a broken DC if I have to... (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
Wait, are these seriously $200+? I can buy Demolish Fist and an Atomiswave for that. That’s more than the DC itself cost new. It looks really cool but you guys can just bring yours when you swing buy, thanks!

These days anyone can hook a desktop computer up to whatever TV they want to play on and apparently this Dell mini-computer I literally picked out of an e-waste bin can emulate Dreamcast and Atomiswave games just perfectly. The only reason I can imagine hooking up my original Dreamcast is if I want to hear the GD drive hocking and spitting at me again. Actually, they should add drive sound simulation as a feature to Dreamcast emulators. I'd use it. (n/t) (Bzzz-bb-bb-bb-vvvzhh and Opa Opa) (13:07:17 11/25/20 EST)
Ok. You spend a weekend setting all that shit up and mail the machine to me. It better run everything. (n/t) (SignOfZeta) (16:26:56 11/25/20 EST)
Nothing in life comes easy, but downloading some games and installing an emulator is definitely among the easiest of the challenges we're face with in this world. (n/t) (Confoundation and Opa Opa) (19:38:42 11/25/20 EST)
Nope. Not doing it. Wasted too many evenings in the past to end up with nothing. I will pay someone to hack my WiiU but I’m never doing that sort of shit again ever. I’m paying for everything from now on, pirate or legit, or I’m just not playing it. I’m tired of the hunting and the FAQing and the preordering and things being limited edition and all that stuff...it’s more complex than the actual game I want to play, and it’s zero fun. It’s not a hardship related issue, it’s a self induced hardship issue. Trying to figure out which folder to put the CDROM2 BIOS into drives me NUTS, learning another way to do it four years later does too, so I’m just going to remove myself from the situation. I fix broken prototype crap all day at work, then I fix the house at home, fix the kid’s toys, everyone’s car, I’m completely burnt out on diagnosis. I just want to ski down the hill, I don’t want to build the chairlift. (SignOfZeta) (11:27:22 11/26/20 EST)
