I'll throw in another vote for Skies of Arcadia. If you're into RPG's, you'll absolutely love the game. (but come to hate the random encounter rate)\\

Another obvious but somewhat underrated gem is Shenmue, it is an absolutely wonderful game, it almost seems to be an interactive movie, really, but it's a very great game.
Collects promo gaming stuff, certain import games, hockey memorabilia, and other oddball things. (sig and avy under construction)

Maken X. It's a wacky game and pretty damn fun.

Also, Jojo's bizarre adventure is a nice change of pace.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Bangai-O!

Also if you have someone to play against Bust a Move 4 is awesome, the songle player is ok, but vs is the best.

joehero and Ziggy587 are both correct. Tuxthewise uses custom folder structer to optomize the laser reader noise when reading the games, and he gives them the best possible audio and movies of any release.

Also, I'll recommend Captain Dreamcast, he is a newcomer to optomizing releases, but him and Tux work together over at Dreamcast-Talk forums.

You want to get Shenmue 1 and 2(Xbox English Speech mod), Half-Life and all it's PC mods that have been ported to Dreamcast, and are really great stand alone games.

All HLDC mods are found at the site below, and more are being ported as we speak.

Want Shenmue 2 modded, get it below.

I would also suggest some of the Beats of Rage Mod Collections like Splatterhosue Trilogy and Captain Commando and the Avengers.

Can I burn dreamcast .isos with Imgburn instead?

Also, what about homebrew on the Dreamcast? Anything that's really worth a look?

The remix has a different (better) soundtrack.
