Dreamcast general thread

I bought a Dreamcast today 35 bucks probably got ripped off but fuck it what are some of the best games worth playing on it?
Anyone know the best place for hacks and homebrew software for it? I know all you need to pirate and do pretty much whatever on it is a cd burner.
And how much is too much for an VMU? I feel stupid for not buying a memory card while I was at the game store

Anyone have any experience with JP only games that are playable without extensive knowledge of Japanese? I found this demolition game that was pretty neat. Each level consists of a building you have to demolish and you set up different types of bombs and have to destroy a certain % of the building each level.

The rules are actually contradictory in this regard

"Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro."

>"consoles...launched in 1999 and earlier."
>"sixth gen and later consoles are not considered retro."
>DC is both

Really should be an exception to the rule imo, especially since the thing died quickly and only people that give a fuck about it are retro gamers anyway

I like that the screaming kid was yelling at me and I haven't replied to him at all. I like that he can't figure out how to read. I like that he's having a fit.

His autism is of the meter and we've already discussed "Is DC retro" since /vr/'s inception to the point that the mods changed the wording so that DC would be considered retro. And yet, here's this guy with his tough business.

I've watched you in here shitting up a perfectly good thread. I'm going to offer a bit of advice. If it's breaking the rules, report OP for a rules violation and watch if the thread is closed. If it stays open, you're an idiot. If it gets closed promptly (/vr/'s janitor/mods are very good around here) then you're an idiot.

Be a responsible adult and do what anyone should do with a rules violation, report it. If you're not reporting it, then you must be worried about spamming the report function. Which means you think you may be wrong. Your opinion doesn't factor into it here. It factors with the report button. Either do something about it or shut up.

Not especially. It's got a couple super buttons instead of a windows key and menu popup buttons. The only trick part would be finding a converter from USB. It wouldn't be hard to mod yourself either. DC ports are USB anyway. I don't think there was a directx issue even if the console used it.
