Info:
Consoles with a “0” or a “1” are considered the best for playing burned backups.
>a vgabox isn’t needed, but makes switching between outputs easier, as some games don’t support VGA and can’t be forced to.
>Never plug in/pull out controllers while the console is on, you will damage the fuses in the controller ports and potentially kill it outright.
>be aware that the CMOS battery of your (newly bought) console probably will be dead. Not relevant for most of the games, a correct time setting makes playing games like seaman impossible. So either put in the date and time every time you start your console, or replace the battery with a new one. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Dreamcast+CMOS+Battery+Replacement/5020
