I really really like Dreamcast, and in many ways it really is the greatest game console ever. It's everything I like in console gaming, like the creative accessories/workarounds to have features PC-gaming takes for granted ie. VMU showing vital game information that would normally be on screen, but TVs back then were low-resolution and the stats would be a mess, but VMU shows them crisp and sharp.

I got the Resident Evil HD from humble bundle and I have never played Resident Evil before (except RE4). Is the HD version the full Resident Evil 1 experience, but with HD graphics? I want my first time playing RE to be as authentic as possible. Well, as authentic as it comes to gameplay and story.

Should I get one of those VGA cables for Dreamcast? Is it worth it, or should I attempt soldering my own VGA port for Dreamcast? My TV has a VGA port so I don't even need to hassle with some stupid little monitor. If I have a VGA cable, how does the sound work?

Hey hey hey it's a new Dreamcast thread! What are some of the most creative ways devs have used the VMU for? I know Resident Evil games for Dreamcast show ammo and health info on VMU screen which is pretty damn useful.

Haven't played many Dreamcast games yet, but what are some of the most creative ways devs have used VMU? I know Resident Evil shows gun and health info so that you don't need to go to menu to see them and that's pretty cool.
