I buy Dead Dreamcasts and i redo them from the ground up.I swap out the disc drives and replace with a GDEMU and i retrofit the power supplies to compensate for Not having a disc drive amd i replace the loud ket engine stock fan with noctua fans that make no sound at all.I found this sweet resident evil shell with a pewter umbrella symbol and a silkscreened GDEMU board.This one has every dreamcast game ever even some not released titles like halflife on that SD card.Console 5 has the capacitor kits to replace them all.

Non DOS? I played in DOS.
I think I played it in my 386DX with a Gravis Ultrasound max… Over serial cable connection from my room to other.
Killing my friends without mercy! :rofl:

Did I mention they opened a studio just downstairs and Mrs Foreigner joined immediately? Well, that happened.

That’s great! I cannot express just how awesome it has been for me. Mrs. mota, who has been doing it a year longer than I have and is 15 years younger than me, also has become really invested in it.

I am excited for her. I hope she likes it and benefits as much from it as we do.

She loves it. It’s like a game to her, a jungle gym or something.

She used to go with her mom so there’s some nostalgia too I’d think.

She wants me to go. But she also wants me to get a pedicure too and neither of those things are likely to happen.

Speaking of Doom and the like… Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem were endless time wasters for me… Oddworld wasnt too terrible either.

Getting lost in Age of Empires though… i could still do that

I loved Doom. My next comment usually spoils the mood for most people. I loved Doom 3, the bastard child of that series.

The retrobright process works great on old apple, commodore, computer stuff. Any of that grey abs plastic everyone seemed to love to use that yellows like a bitch over the years.
