I bought mine the very first day it was available, 9\/9\/99, and it blew the N64 and PlayStation out of the water in terms of raw power.

It took 3 days of manually learning UNIX to realize that I was working with an outdated binary that wouldn&#8217;t burn what I needed. But I got it to work. My Dreamcast is now a Homebrew powerhouse. Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, and more now live on in one little white box. Perhaps I&#8217;ll post a guide for other Mac users who find the information on the DC homebrew scene lackluster. Thank you Sega for not cracking down on homebrew. I wish I could say the same for my Sony PSP. I don&#8217;t see myself picking up that thing for a long time&#8230; or even after I stuff it in the closet.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" title=\"help me\" href=\"http:\/\/dchelp.net\">dchelp.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"homebrew\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dcemulation.com\">dcemulation.com<br \/>\n<\/a><a title=\"shh... isos\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dreamcasthaven.com\">dreamcasthaven.com<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By far the most powerful underrated videogame console I ever purchased was the Dreamcast.
