Since I don't really have a powerful computer and not much money, I've been going through videogames that were emulatable on the Wii and the inmense catalogue that was on a PS2 (and PS1 inside of it). However, I've been thinking of either buying a Dreamcast or an N64 lately, but for some specific games, like Conker Bad Fur Day or Banjo Kazooie for the N64 (alongside others on the original hardware) or Shenmue and D2 for the Dreamcast.
Nonetheless, these games don't convince me to go either way, so, what console should I buy? Also, I've heard about the Sega Saturn, but the only game I know from it is Nights, what can you tell me about it?
DC has a more varied library (it's also a fighter and shmup heaven console) and the games have aged better. I'm currently playing through D2 for the first time and it's an awesome game.
N64 will probably be more expensive. Just the Conker cart will be more than a DC + Shenmue or D2.

Oh yeah, also take into consideration that the N64 and DC share a lot of multiplats like Tony Hawk, Rainbow Six, Rush 2049, Resident Evil 2, Rayman 2, etc., that look and play better on DC.

Get a Dreamcast. If you don't have much money, you can pirate every game on the system for the price of a stack of CD-R's. N64 games can get expensive and Everdrives aren't cheap either

Since you don't have much money, then I say go Dreamcast. I did the same last year BECAUSE I knew I could get games for cheap because you can burn games on CD-Rs.

gd-rom, all the imdisk images have been converted to use cd's though. make sure you get an early dc that can play burned disks.

Dreamcast was notorious for its great PAL conversions, and most Sega games had a PAL50 PAL60 selector anyway. Nothing like FFX there.

I believe you used to need a boot disc but that is no longer the case unless you're trying to play official discs from outside of your region. However, with burnt discs, the region locking goes away, I believe. Like I have a NTSC Dreamcast, but I've been able to play Japanese AND PAL games on mine just fine. So I don't see that wouldn't work the other way around for your case.

>make sure you get an early dc that can play burned disks.
Are there any signs that I should be looking for in that regard?

>N64 vs DC being a difficult choice
At least you slid under the console war radar and literally every other anon has already given you the right answer to that one

On the label there will be a circle. If it's empty or has a 1 in it then it'll run burned games. That's like 80% or more of them btw.

Do you have an HDTV that has VGA input?
Dreamcast
Do you have a CRT that has S-Video?DC
Have you ever played D and enemy zero?
>>3383920
EZ and D1 both have PC releases to my knowledge; don't know what it'd take to get them to run on modern OSs though.

D is on GOG, bought it not too long ago. I loved it. Runs fine on win10
