Just Got My Dreamcast Modded!

[Klashe]

Woohoo! Now I can play imports.

Lemme just say...Guilty Gear X...rocks.

Awesome 2-d fighting.

It's coming out for PS2 so all you who own one (and love Street Fighter like games) should run out and grab it. It's like the Soul Caliber of 2-d fighting games.

Now, all I have to wait for is my fave puzzle game: the import Dreamcast version of Puyo Puyo.

Oh Yeah.

[Kero-chan]

yeah, guilty gear X is awesome!!!! a friend of mine got it a few weeks ago and once you've played it, it's hard to take capcom games... the sprites in guilty gear are so damn cool and high res

I know, they look SWEET with my VGA adapter.

I swear after I got done playing Capcom games I never thought 2-d would look good on a PC monitor. Boy, was I wrong!

Where did you get it moded? Did you do it yourself?

Long live SFOT!

And now...your moment of Zen!

At an import store. They did it for 50 bucks. It's well worth it as there are so few games coming out in the U.S. anymore.

Many ppl don't import RPG's because you can't understand them. But fighting, puzzle and dance games really aren't a problem ( so long as you can stand not comprehending the usually weak stories).

Yeah, you can buy the chip at www.buyrite.com (about 15 bucks), they even have picture instructions on how to do it there. I watched the guy do it and it looks like a pain in the butt. There's about 2 million screws and the solder area is really really small.

But if you are good at soldering, go for it.

Ouch, if it's anything like moding a PS, then $50 is steep. Took me all of 30mins to mod a PS.

You do need steady hands. You should have seen me shaking while holding the soldering iron

I never liked soldering. It was $50 that I paid to garuntee(sp) my Dreamcast's safety and to make sure it worked with imports.

one of my roomates used to flip his PSX upside down to play imports. Don't ask me how it worked. He said something about bending the CD laser.

well, i'm quite proud of my soldering skills... i used to assemble micro pcboards
but yeah, vizer had the right idea. my friend downloaded and burned a bootdisk that was like 600k. works fine
much easier than soldering, it's free, and i dont think it's illegal
