You all win. (I'm finally getting a Dreamcast)

[Anthony817]

I definitely had a Dreamcast that would not play Last Hope, and I had to get a different console.

What was the exact model number and year the system was made? I suppose it could be true, but I have talked to many DC veterans that said it was a myth started by Sega themselves, and that the MilCD exploit was never fixed, so I am only going by what long timers told me about it being a myth. If it was true only a very small number of North American machines had the fix, apparently the Jap and Euro systems never got the fix.

Also, did you try burning Last Hope or did you purchase it? Burning games can be a bit tricky at first, especially with Discjuggler.

I love the Dreamcast. So many great games. It's also great that it reads burned CDs so easily. Means I get to try before I buy. Very useful feature.

I want to love the DreamCast. I really, really do. I love the Master System, the Genesis, the Saturn and even the damn Sega CD and Game Gear. But the DreamCast. I'd love to join the cult that has formed around it's grave but I can't shake the feeling that so many of it's "best" game are just... shallow.

it mostly appeals to me because it has a lot of shmups. And like I said homebrew.

It is a shmup paradise. Although between the XBLA and Japanese retail games, 360 is quickly becoming the shmup console of choice for me. Saturn and Dreamcast are not far behind though. And I am finally getting into the doujin scene.

you think 360 will keep that up now that it's failed in Japan?

I would say so simply because it's already got the install base. Sure, way more people have PS3s in Japan, but the 360 has a much higher concentration of shmup gamers. You can be sure that Cave and others will keep them coming. It wouldn't make financial sense for them to suddenly go PS3 exclusive. Although releasing the games on both consoles might not be a terrible idea...
