I guess that pretty much confirms my previous post. Thanks... ^^
Red = 3.3V
Black = Ground
White = speed sensor
By the way, DO NOT LEAVE THE DREAMCAST ON WHEN THE FAN ISN'T SPINNING. Unless you wanna fry the CPU and GPU. And make sure the fan sucks in enough cool air when you replaced it. Dreamcast sucks in cold air, it doesn't blow out the hot air. Switching the black and red wire will invert the fan rotation...

Fuck the breadboard. Buy perfboard and jump in. Be a man... lol
of course on that note quite a few years ago when i had my dreamcast out and was on it alot i was sick of using the standard dreamcast lead that plugs into the aerial socket on the tv and you have to tune it in so i modded the lead and added the composite connections to it the red white and yellow leads and now i can play it through the scart socket instead and i dont think ive seen anyone else do this from what im aware of although you can buy the dreamcast scart leads why not just add them to your existing lead so if you think i should post how to do it just say

Me personally I modded my DC with internal VGA, so in most cases I use that.
But you can always post a guide in the mods section.
i will maybe tomorrow or something ive also looked all over the net and found some dreamcast schematics and various other stuff maybe i will add them to so its easier for people to find them and so they survive a little longer because as you know sites can come and go
ive got my dreamcast up and running ive attached a pc fan to the side of the case with a glue gun so it can be removed when i buy a damaged dreamcast just for the controller port and fan but atleast its working i even had a little shot of pso
