I have mine hooked up in my room displaying on 2 spare TVs in my bedroom. It looks too crappy to be on the bigger TV in my room. Especially since I can play (graphically improved, yes!) Dreamcast ports like SA1/2 with Component quality instead of using those crappy RCA (composite was it?) cables. But I still enjoy some occasional nostalgia. Dreamcast was Sonic's first (real) leap into 3D Adventure. (although not the kind of leap I'd choose... and 3D Blast wasn't even what I'd call a Sonic game, nor did it make good use of polygons aside from SPecial Stages in the Saturn/PC versions)
Yes, I do. Games I play vary. SA2 mostly, but I still play chu chu rocket too, mostly because I still haven't finished the ;last 2 puzzles.sonicphc
Hey, how do you hook that thing up to the internet? I've got cable internet service, a working spare modem that can use the cable and the phone line, and a telephone cord, and a regular cable. Do I have everything I need to get it online? (SA probably won't do anything, though, right? :( )
Mine was online for a time, but for the most part all online DC services are shut down. If you have the browser, I think it'll still function, but why needlessly tie up your phone line?
*sigh* Sadly, mine lies lonely in the attic. Haven't played it in around five months or so. That should change this summer, however... Samba de Amigo daily routine, y'all!
I got rid of my Dreamcast a few months after I bought my Gamecube. Since SA, SA2, and Phantasy Star Online were being ported to Gamecube and upgraded with extras, I had no reason to keep it.

It's coming to the Wii also, but it's a whole new game.

O rly. I had no idea. XP It seems to retain much of what the first game initially had, right down to the song selection. There're some new features, true, but so far, it's looking very loyal to the original and Ver. 2000.
Believe it or not, I'm actually looking forward to Amigo Wii more than any other game release this year. It'll be quite difficult for Sega to screw up, and that leaves me very optimistic with very few doubts, unlike some other games I know of at the moment. >_>
I never fell in love with the first, so I can't say I'm highly anticipating the arrival of the new Samba. But I will definitely try it and see if I like the game.
It's not a legend without the maracas, so if you haven't played it with them, I can understand why you lost interest. If you have, however, and still found it meh, you are not a human being. O_O The next installment should please many, but at the cost of many AA batteries.

What AA batteries? Who in their right mind wastes AA batteries for their Wii Remotes when you can buy a rechargeable Wii Remote accessory for 20-30 bucks? It lasts alot longer than 30 bucks worth of AA batteries you know.
I never played it, nor bought it, I heard about them long time ago, and I was sort of interesting, but my family pefer playtation than that for christmas. :lol: Sorry...but anyway, that's all I have to say from there.

Has Nintendo licensed an official Wiimote battery charger? ...I thought not. And besides, I don't trust third-party accessory manufacturers. >_> Pana-sonic disposable batteries, on the other hand...

Nintendo doesn't have to release an official batery charger. Not buying a Wii Remote battery charger because it isn't Nintendo brand is like not buying ANY batteries for your Wii Remote because NONE of them are Nintendo brand. Batteries are just a source of power. It won't hurt to use rechargeable batteries. Infact, it'll save you some money to buy games with.
I'm concerned with my Wiimotes getting fried, which has happened to so many other consumers. Also, I've heard that chargers have a propensity to overheat as well. Regular batteries are more low-risk, and where I live, I can purchase an eight-pack of 'em for a buck.
Wiimotes are an expensive investment. Four of them cost around $170, you know. For now, I'll just resort to the traditional power supply, and if I happen to find a good charger for cheap, I'll look into it.
Okay, then. My Wii Remote charger doesn't overheat or fry anything. So far, the batteries give the right amount of power, since they were designed for the Wii Remots.

I'd hate to prolong the off-topic-ness, but what brand of Wiimote charger did you buy? Nyko?
Not to insult your taste in good picture quality, but wouldn't the composite (RCA cables) video make the picture look kinda fuzzy on a TV like that?DocEggmanNega
Looks just fine on mine without the component cables.

Looks just fine on mine without the component cables.But component cables make picture look a hell of alot better than composite on a 32 inch HDTV like that. Composite = fuzzy on LCD and noticable lines on tube.(mainly the bigger ones) Component = Crystal clear picture on LCD and tube. (LCD is better for other reasons, though)
Yeah I still have my Dreamcast hooked up to play the Sonic Adventure titles, the South park games. Sadly I just beat Sonic Adventure 2 about 2 months ago and i have been playing it for around six years.
My Dreamcast finally died yesterday... ish. Actually, I know it's a bad power cord, but it's annoying. I don't know if I'm going to get an hour or 5 seconds of gameplay before the system randomly resets itself. Kind of obnoxious...
i still own mine and id still play it, but my dad broke it when i was in high school. so if it does play anythin it will just go to the failure screen and then just do nothin but system errors for a looooooooooong time. its just not worth the effort anymore. but i really miss the games on there. lol
