one of the greatest console boot up of all time only the ps1 rivals it

>>3841289
this
those are my two favorite ones

>>3841289
The DC is my favourite console ever but the boot sound always sounded hollow to me especially considering how the psx one got me pumped everytime. I felt the same about the ps2 boot sound (hollow), why didn't the THX like boot sounds become more popular?

he's posting an example of a game from a time when games had to start becoming cinematic experiences for people to care about them

>>3842737
To be fair, to the average normie GAME games are gimmicky things that get boring after 5 minutes. How often do you play Tetris?

Actually, don't answer that.

anyone got that one picture the anon made with the must play titles for the dc?

I recently rescued one from a yard sale

I was thinking of giving it to my nieces for easter, but now I want to keep it for myself

Why did Sega of America have such shitty marketing after the Genesis? The Saturn was a clusterfuck in the West with all that "Welcome to the 21st Century" shit. Fucking Dreamcast was a little better just because it was actually coherent, but what did they even mean by "It's thinking"? Were they trying to imply that the technology was so advanced it was sentient? If so, that reeks of their Saturn launch ads, if not then what? They honestly could have done some play on the name, like "Keep Dreaming", "The Games You've Been Dreaming Of", "The Power of Dreams", or "Dream On, Sony", but no.

>>3845058
for some reason I don't think your nieces would be into tank controls or unplayable lightgun games on an LCD.

>>3845158
I was going to burn them some games and keep the others for resale online
but after testing to see if the system worked
>read as, sinking four hours into RE2 and CV
I decided to keep everything and play it in front of them like a dick

>>3845070
Why did Sega of America make the 32x and force Saturn owners to import games?

MAH BAD

>>3845426
Good call.

I never had a Dreamcast until recently, is that little humming noise normal?

>>3842173
The dreamcast is almost the same age now as the atari 2600 was when it launched

>>3845725
No, it should be much louder with occasional clicking.

>>3841914
The boot sound got me on a tangent thinking about my high school life and just how much I hated it. Worst days of my life. Dreamcast was the only thing I had going on that didn't blow but it was all intertwined with those bitter times and I can't bring myself to feel any joyful nostalgia over it.

>>3845746
woah

>>3845759

I'm sorry. Me too, bro. It helps to remember that kids are basically sociopaths with incomplete brains and often do not fully realize how cruel they are being. Probably there are people you hurt back then without realizing it, who remember you the way you remember the people that hurt you.

If you want to be forgiven for being a stupid kid, you should forgive others who were stupid kids too.

>>3846228
I think it's the opposite. Kids reveal the true nature of man. It's just the older we get the better we are at camouflaging it. Both from others and from ourselves.

Anyway, high school was grand.

>tfw Sega won't release the theme in the West and you have to buy a Jap 3DS just for that

They did release a Dreamcast 3DS theme in North America, you know. I have it on my American 3DS right now. It doesn't have that sound, though.

>>3840832
That shit is honestly annoying as fuck. Was it really necessary?

For years I've owned the 4x VMU that doesn't have a screen. Finally got one with a screen and replaced the batteries. How do I turn it on once it's been disconnected from the controller?

>>3847231

If you replace the battery in the VMU it stays silent.

>>3847468
Put a little slip of plastic sheet through the little slot in the battery compartment to disconnect the battery the way they came oem.

Would connecting one end to my PC and the other to my DC give me an internet connection? I don't want to buy a Raspberry Pi just for DreamPi.

>>3840832
It means change your fucking battery

/vr/ what's an essential underrated Dreamcast game in your opinion?

For me its, Propeller Arena, even though it's only available through leaks

>>3847468
>VMU that doesn't have a screen.
That's just a memory card. It's not a VMU if it doesn't have a screen. The V stands for Visual.

Which Utopia boot disc version should I use? I have a PAL console but NTSC Shenmue and JGR copies.

There was never a better marriage of simulation and arcade game.

Oh god I'm glad that's easily fixable. I picked up a dreamcast a couple days ago and it's fucking amazing but that beeeeeep gives me PS YLOD flashbacks.

>>3842741

Tony hawk was pretty popular in its day.

>>3848326
Do you even need those anymore? I never had a problem playing Euro or Jap games on my NA Dreamcast.

>>3849036
Are those graphics retro? Goddam

Yep, 60fps too.

Well, my PAL machine (model HKT-3030) can't play other regions games. I dunno why but the Utopia boot disc is my only hope.

Why are you here?

Sometimes when i can't sleep i turn on my dreamcast and listen to it load up a game. Comfy as hell.
