Dreamcast Modification GDEMU


 
I have to admit to owning 2 Dreamcast consoles, not through choice but  as payment years ago for sorting out a very sick PC. I was never a fan of Sega, Sonic and such. I was strictly PC at this point of time, 1998 to be precise. The Saturn was a flop in my book ,so the Dreamcast was something I chose to ignore until it was landed on me.

The Gamepad really annoyed me, as awkward as the Nintendo 64 behemoth, maybe Microsoft liked it as they made a similar beast called "The Duke". Reluctantly I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised. The games were better than great, Shenmue II, Jetset Radio, Power Stone, Ikaruga, Crazy Taxi..... ports from Sega Naomi Arcades. Graphically alot of games looked more like PC games than jagged console affairs, PowerVR seemed to feature a lot on titles load screens. I remembered PowerVR from the PC days of Voodoo Graphic cards

Nintendo GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP repair and screen mod



Released around 2003 this underwhelming little
unit sold around the world backed by a massive
catalogue of games. Pocket sized and with a
rechargeable battery, it was a winner for the mighty Nintendo.
