Ultimate Sega Dreamcast Hacks and Mods!!!

I didn't quite explain the CDr segment as good as I could have and it seems to be confusing to some people. The easiest way to say it: Unless you know what you're doing, use CDr's sparingly and overall ODE's are a better experience. Also, here's all the great other mods people in the comments have pointed out! There's no way I could get to everything in one video, so thanks for sharing!: Controller Fuse: www.mmmonkey.co.uk/dreamcast-controller-port-fix-f… DreamPSU: www.retropsu.com/store/product/dreampsu/ DreamConn: www.dreammods.net/dreamconn.html Controller adapter with built-in memory so no controller swap is needed: www.focusattack.com/brook-super-converter-ps3-ps4-… Detailed List of Dreamcast Models, MIL-CD Compatibility: users.skynet.be/t_chan/dc/mylist.htm Self-resetting Controller Port Fuse (US Seller): ebay.to/2P1W9ET Self-resetting Controller Port Fuse (UK Seller): ebay.to/2EQhNHt Estaran Says: I have something to add to the fan mod: Some time ago the Circuit-Board community did a bulk order of some fans that fit w/o modding the Dreamcast in any other way, you just have to swap the old fan for a new one. Here is the link to the forum post as well as for the website, where we ordered those fans: circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Thread/18033-Samm… and www.on2tech.com/df310ri05l1c.html

When I went to college in 2002, my dad told me that he accidentally threw away my dreamcast. I waited in line at toys r us for two days back in 9/9/99, and they sold out before I could get one cuz of greedy assholes reselling them. I got one on Christmas of 1999. I was so heartbroken I never bought another system, and had my fun restoring old cars...I wanted nothing to do with video games anymore outside of the arcade occasionally (tilt at aurora mall STILL there!) I tried the crazy taxi reissue on xbox...disgusting at best. Guess what I just found yesterday?!? All my games and shit too! This is the first video on the dreamcast I watched ever. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing info. Truly impressive. I am elated that the DC still has so much support. So now I have an old school optimus stereo (radio shack) and an old school dreamcast in my old school rv (78 Chevy g30). The TV is newer. Things have gotten better/more efficient from a technical standpoint, but not from a design standpoint imo. The DC was perfect. Thanks again man, awesome vid. I was very lucky to be a teen in the 90s and nothing else would have made me attain this next level of happiness. Back to trying to master this huge map in crazy taxi 2, offspring bumpin hard, not giving a single fuck about shit.

Seriously these videos are a godsend for people that work on and collect retro consoles. Your work is highly appreciated!

For me, the days when i spend with my Dreamcast was like a dream come true. I miss these days

I legit dug my Dreamcast outta the garage after watching this... had it since 9/9/99 luckly i found my VMU and controller too! I'm really thinking of modding and getting into the Dreamcast homebrew scene thank you for this video!

Are tou kidding me!! I always tought that noise was the cd drive, not the fan! Daim! Thank you Bob!

Please do this for every single console lol I could watch this stuff ALL DAY.

I like the original fan. The DC sounds like a Fighter jet

This is a fantastic overview, and has motivated me to get my two dreamcasts out of storage to see what I can do with them. Great job!!

Love these! Hope there's some sort of massive Dreamcast resurgence. Such a beautiful beast!

Please more more of these types of videos! With so many mods and new projects available these days, it's hard to keep track of everything. I find a video like this super useful for getting started, general maintenance, tips and tricks, quick video resolution explanation useful. Also the links to parts and cables helps.

Dreamcast seriously has one of the most elegant designs.

like the little touch with the offspring at the beginning, crazy taxi never sounds right without YA YA YA YA YA!

I don't even have a dreamcast any more, not for a long time, but seeing a new video about it like dreamcast is still a new thing makes me happy

How many illusions this console brought me when i was young.. best gaming console ever made, far ahead from its time..

Came for the mods, stayed for the Todd & the Book of Pure Evil t-shirt

I'll never forgive myself for not grabbing the Sega Sports Dreamcast I saw at a local game shop for $30. I wanted to save money so I didn't want to give in to an impulse buy. Mistakes were made.

This is awesome, i didnt know you could do all those things to a DC. I actually have two, the original one my parents bougth me a couple of months after Euro launch, and another one we got a couple of years after because we liked it so much that we wanted to have two in case ours crapped out. Both work to this day and i think ill mod the second one with all this. Thanks for the super-detailed vid!.

The same seller who sells the 3D printed parts for the fan mod sells a 3D printed GD-ROM base you can use with USB GD-ROM. No need to cannibalize an original GD-ROM. He also sells a similar tray to preserve airflow. Another benefit of how USB GD-ROM is mounted is the fact that you can easily slide the cable from the modded fan underneath the USB GDROM, which will certainly help airflow even further. GD-EMU is very primitive when compared to GD-EMU, although if you want to cheap out, there are GD-EMU Chinese clones that according to Youtube reviews work exactly as the original. When modding the PSU, you also need to remove the surface mounted resistor located right next to the 12v Regulator.

I like the sound my dreamcast fan makes. its nostalgic
