How is your Dreamcast gaming going on?

[marurun]

I'll second Ooga Booga as a fantastic multi-player experience. It's too bad that one wasn't revived as a WiiWare or Xbox Live Arcade title. Woulda done pretty well, I think.

alienjesus: I know OnlineConsoles was hosting Dreamcast DLC, but the files are no longer accessible on the site. Maybe try Dreamcast-Talk?

BoringSupreez: Out of all the games I discussed that are now defunct, the only game that I could find online footage of was Speed Devils Online:


(Surprisingly enough, I'm actually in this video! )

I also found some footage of PSO online gameplay circa 2001, but I didn't find it quite as interesting as the SDO footage.

Is there any way to download DLC from the DC's internet days onto your memory card, or is the opportunity long gone? Was thinking about stuff like Chu Chu Rockets extra puzzle stages, Jet Set Radio's graffiti tags or (most importantly) Samba de Amigo's downloadable tracks.

Dream Explorer ISO might have what you need. In addition to the VMU tools & utilities featured there, it also has game saves for nearly every DC game collected from DC sites all over the Internet. I burned one to get access to Dynamite Cop's Detonator Pack (added playable characters and extra artwork) and I was able to put it on a VMU.
When I did that, I realized -- Dreamcast was a pioneer in DLC!

I wonder if there is video footage of someone using the Dreamcast to play online. I think I found one on youtube about one guy walking in a puzzle and the other is talking him through...

Video capture devices and digital cameras were far more expensive in '99/2000 than they are now, not to mention that there was nowhere free to host videos back then. There's probably some footage but not much.

thats understandable but video cameras were quite popular even in mid 90s. we all have seen footage from birthdays even from the 80s . Not to mention media like Dreamcast magazine might have bundled a video intro about the Dreamcast on a CD/DVD .

I wanted to write this for 3 or 4 days now. Last month I was selling my dreamcast collection to a buddy of mine. A Close friend wanted to give me a good chunk for my collection and I wanted to downsize since I was a video game hoarder and was always buying and selling multiple systems and games over and over again.

I had to work that day and I told my friend to just pick up the stuff and my wife and kids were going to home and give her the money. When I got home my dreamcast was gone and all my room was the wii and ps2.

Fast forward to oct 15th. I have not bought any games for my wii or ps2 or regret about my dreamcast. Oct 15th is my anniversary with my wife. She gives me a big box and sure enough was my dreamcast and all my games. I was happy but confused because I asked her why she hid it system and never sell it and take the money? She replied that she knows that I loved the dreamcast and I had kept my promise that I wouldn't buy anything or regret about selling anything. She said as long as you don't buy games all the time and get a game every few month's or so I can keep everything as long also I put everything away.
I love my wife so much for this. Now it's time for a little guilty gear and some powerstone 2 and project justice. Tomorrow i'm going to start playing skies of arcadia for the first time.
What a gift. A dreamacst, 4 controllers, vmu's and 130 or so games.

No, no, no. I decided last night to box it all up until I itch for it. I did that also with my ps2. I'm just playing wii right now. I was happy to get the dreamcast back but right now I'm really into the wii.
