Anwsering the world's oldest question

Maybe not so old, but here it is:

Will Nights controllers work on a Dreamcast?

The answer is....





....no.


Not with this adapter at least, it won't work in neither analog or digital mode, not even in the bios screen.

Regular controllers do work though.



So if you were one of those who wanted to build a chain of adapters to use it on Wii, you will be disappointed.

DC T-Shirt!

There are very few things that can express your love for a piece of electronics from last century accurately enough, there's stickers, posters, altars, tattoos human sacrifices and all, but nothing says it better than a t-shirt, unless its one of those Hot Topic ones that all the kids wear now.

So the obvious thing to do of course is getting a Dreamcast t-shirt. Finding a DC shirt or jacket or whatever isn't too hard, if your size is something like XL or XXL or XXXL that is. In my case its M, so it took a while to find, and although it has an awkward fit; its too long and the sleeves too big, it still says Sega Dreamcast.

Sadly, this one came used, so I don't have the slightest clue who wore it before me, and it also cost much much more than anyone should pay for a used t-shirt (please don't ask), but once again, it still says Sega Dreamcast.



No, what you see isn't a myspace picture, but a picture had to be taken and I didn't feel like taking the shirt off just for the picture, so there.

I'll be updating lots more now, so stay tuned!

Miniature DC and ST Key

A couple days ago, a friend went to the post office to check my mail and what was awaiting there?

No less than a miniature SEGA Dreamcast!!



Here it is in all its glory, It belongs to a series called Sega History Collection. It's very detailed, comes with 2 VMU's with caps (now easier to lose than the real thing!), a detachable modem, Space Channel 5 complete with case, and of course a controller.

This thing is just so cool that the VMU's even fit inside the controller, however you cannot link them, the SC5 disc fits inside the console and the controller can be plugged in.

Everything comes in very accurate proportion, except for the controller cable, the real one unfortunately is much much shorter. The whole thing is very small, check out the comparison shot with the other thing I got....



A ST Key for the SEGA Saturn, this, as you probably guessed, is an import loader, not much to say here, except for so far, so good, all you have to do is plug it in, wait for the SEGA logo, the ST Key splash screen, press a button and presto!, imports on your Saturn.

And where did these wonders come from? From the racketboy forums, grittykitty is selling lots of cool stuff right in this thread at great prices, mostly japanese Saturn and DC stuff, as well as the complete miniature SEGA set.

So there you have it, sorry for the blurry pics, hopefully I'll get a camera soon.
