Dreamcast/Saturn
 

I'm thinking about maybe going old school and getting one of those systems.

So which one of those systems would be the better to get and also which of the two would have the better games? I'm rather undecided.

Dreamcast all the way. There's still a huge following of homebrew developments for it too (by homebrew community standards anyway).

Get MSR for defo. Man, that console was just so underrated by the commercial people. But the PSX was damn awesome.

The Saturn was shit. But if u get one, u NEED to get Snatcher.

I have a dreamcast that I acquired for free last year. My roomate brought it to school for us to play, and then just didn't want to bother packing it at the end of the year.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Except for it isn't really my treasure. It's still sitting in my closet where I put it. One of these days I'd like to hook it up though.
You can burn games to play on it without a mod, which is crazy. Still too lazy to get and burn games though.

1) The Saturn was awesome

2) Snatcher was a Mega/Sega CD game

I have both the Saturn and Dreamcast, I would highly recommend the Dreamcast, it has some really good games and like others have said you can burn games without having to mod it. Also the sports games by Sega were some of the best. Also, check out Shenmue, its a game that you will either love or hate but personally is one of my favorite games of all time.

I would get a Saturn because it's the one I never had. Daytone USA was one of my favorites on there.

I have a dreamcast and i love it. I play the Royal Rumble gam. Crazy Taxi and Resident Evil: Code Veronica i think its called. Love these games. I have 2k football game, but i still havent beat Resident Evil. Gunna hook it up now that i see this thread.

I got stuck on the part where you fight that boss on the plane. I didn't have enough ammo, so I coudn't kill him and was basically forced to restart. I didn't want to go through all the shit again so I didn't.

dreamcast

shenmue
shenmue 2

Dreamcast

I have both. Dreamcast easy.

Get Virtual On

1) Whatever. Your opinion.

2) and? your point is?

My point would probably be that if he got one then took your advice and bought Snatcher, he could not play it.

I have a working Saturn with like every game they ever put out for it (12).. I can't find the power cable though..

I'll sell you a steering wheel and peddles(standard) for the saturn. I think i have 2 fasser guns too....area 51, the virtual cop games....

I'd love to play that on my projector now.....I might even have some games too...

i have a power cable !

I have the steering wheel.. I need both the power cable and the AV cable..

I need a sandwich.

I got a knuckle sandwich for you..

K, so I have decided to hunt down a Dreamcast. Since you can burn every game for it, there's really no reason to buy a bundled system w/games, right? All games burn 100% flawlessly?

No, there's two models and the newer one (there is no reliable way to tell which, try to get one with a manufacture date before November 2000) doesn't play some of the older releases.

Also, not all games are selfboot. If it's in .cdi or .nrg format it should be put the disc in and run, but .iso games require a bootdisc.

Chu Chu Rocket is fucking awesome

Yeah, but what I'm saying is ones made before that will all work, yet some made after that date will still work, it's just not known which ones.

None of the Sega Sports models (the black ones) work.

Other than the date on the bottom, nothing I can think of.

Unless they'll let you try out a CD-R in store :shifty:

I need to get a VMU, but will probably have to go with the 4X no screen ones. Maybe I'll find one to match my awesome green controller. :(

I'd burn with Alcohol 120%, it's update and works properly in Vista. IMGBurn unfortunatly doesn't support .cdi.

Also, hunt around for a Remix version of MvC2. Awesome soundtracks out there without that I wanna take you for a ride bullshit.

Capcom vs. SNK 2: Millionaire Fighting 2001 .

I think the ps2, gamecube, and xbox versions were just called Capcom vs SNK 2 (EO on gamecube and xbox).

Lemme get that, still need a dreamcast

Burn the bin/cues with Alcohol or IMGburn

I didn't know you could burn DC games like that. Must get one. Loved playing Powerstone 2 and Skies of Arcadia back in the day :D

Shut up assman, Jeritron is going to give the dreamcast to me, fignuts.

Sega Saturn was decent. I loved the Dreamcast, but I hated that damn controller. It was like holding a block of wood.

Wouldn't you rather play with a 12 year old girl?

who wants the dreamcast? I am accepting trade offers

What kind of trades? Cause I don't swing that way, not even for a dreamcast.

But yes, I am interested.

I still have my Dreamcast, I think it's criminal how that died it's death so early. I thought it was fantastic.

I would loan my Dreamcast to someone I trusted, for collateral of course

What do you want for the Dreamcast? Perhaps an SNES copy of Chrono Trigger?

I would def discuss SNES games

bah, fuckin cliffhangers man. After 2 years you'd think at least one could have been mentioned.

I'll trade my Ghostbusters 1 and 2 for NES for Jeritron circa 2009's Dreamcast.

Teenage mutant hero turtles for the NES was the bees-knees. Shredder was a cunt

Fucking "TMHT". Fuck off with your wrong-sounding IP's.

Oh I got a Dreamcast a while ago. NBA Hoopz is the #1 sports game for it. Played Shenmue for a while and got fucking infuriated at it. Sonic Adventura, Pen Pen TriIceLon. I have Grandia 2 I think but haven't played it. Oh also some weird Japanese game Space Griffon.

Got a DC in beautifully working condition. None of you fucks are getting your greasy mitts on it though.

also have both, and would also recommend the dreamcast. i've been stuck on "record of lodoss war" for about 5 years now.

I remember when I was younger one of my sister's friends let us borrow his Dreamcast while he was on vacation and I got hooked to freaking Shenmue. I was so pissed because I couldn't ever beat the challenge where you ride the motorcycle to a certain point under a certain time. I never knew how close I was to the end and what the rest of the story was. He also had a NES emulator on his Dreamcast that was freakin' sweet.
