The Dreamcast is back after 25 years
I’m now the proud owner of the Sega Dreamcast…again! I was lucky enough to get one on launch day 25 years ago on 9/9/99. And now, I’ve decided it’s time to own one again.
However, this console has been modded in several important ways. First, it has a HDMI port added. This taps directly into the GPU’s output allowing for 1080p display. Second, the disk drive has been swapped with a SD card reader. This allows you to play backups and should be much more reliable going forward than a spinning disk drive.
It arrived just in time to serve as a perfect distraction!
A game of Rez anyone? Looks fantastic on my OLED tv, by the way.
I’m also looking forward to replaying Shenmue and old Resident Evil games.
