I bought a 3rd party Dreamcast controller thinking I'd find it a bit more comfy than the official ones.

...I didn't.

Mega memory card for the PS1, why buy 15 separate cards? Lost easily 300+ hours of save games when it decided to format itself >_<
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

In order to truly enjoy the Dreamcast, you have to want pain with your pleasure.

I like the hardware. Disappointed with the game selection. In retrospect I probably could have just picked up that SNK Comp on PSP or PS2 or whatever.
