Description

The listing, Sega Dreamcast! has ended.

After more than 10 years, the Dreamcast community is still active!

I don't have any games, but you can scavenge them off eBay, Craigslist or check online for a LARGE number of home-brewed titles.

I've included the main console, one controller, a keyboard, mouse and the cables you need to make things work.The console model number is HT-3020 which includes a 56kbps modem.

I've included a very old version of DreamCast Linux (from the last time I was playing with this) for which I've included a screenshot. (There is a new NetBSD release for the Dreamcast from September. Apparently, there is some new activity on the )

Due to the size of this, I will probably be using UPS for shipping. As such, I'm offering free shipping within the Continental US only to places without rural surcharges. (If you live in Alaska, Hawaii or a rural location; I can ship to you, if you PayPal me the additional amount.)

Questions & Comments

Wow, what a classic!
You wouldn't happen to know if I'd experience any problems hooking this up to a newer TV (1080) do you? Through composite, perhaps?

I think that you probably good for games... I'll need to try out a newer distro for Linux/NetBSD...

My television (Sceptre 1080p) has a bunch of inputs including the right (RCA jacks - composite and stereo audio - the yellow, red and white) inputs and an "aspect" button. So, I'm able to manipulate the appearance a little bit.

The Dreamcast default screen (pictured above) is on my television in the default (widescreen) setting; it looks ok in all my television settings. The linux screen is cut-off at the bottom, so you can see the whole bottom text line. If I get a chance, I'll try the newer NetBSD distro and see if the same problem persists...

You can pickup VGA box (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast_VGA) for the Dreamcast and get 640x480 output in a VGA connector. They currently run about $20 on eBay. (I wish I had one to list... 8^)

Best keyboard game is Typing of the Dead, which is House of the Dead where you kill zombies by typing really quickly.

maybe i am not old enough, but i didn't remember the key board. i am new here but good luck

Thanks - I was surprised by the interest in this and my old Playstation...

I think that the keyboard and mouse were little used accessories for those tinkering with the web browser and a few of the games. They were nearly essential for those trying to run Linux on it.

Oh dude, I just noticed, do you have the VMU for the controller?

Nov 15th, 2009 at 11:04:19 AM PST by

No. Sorry, I wish I did.

Looks like you can pick one up from eBay for under $10 shipped. Perhaps someone here has one they will list... Deckard?

GREAT! Thanks for the info!

Nov 13th, 2009 at 3:24:14 AM PST by

Well depending on how early the console was made, it can play copied games basically.

Nov 12th, 2009 at 1:11:35 PM PST by

Awesome... So, is this one of them? 8^)

Nov 12th, 2009 at 3:07:50 PM PST by

Nov 12th, 2009 at 1:11:04 PM PST by

Ah Dreamcast, a friend gone but not forgotten. Listia may be the place to bid farewell to my remaining DC games?

Nov 11th, 2009 at 5:39:56 PM PST by

Post them soon! Whoever wins this will be in the market for a few games.

Nov 11th, 2009 at 6:45:21 PM PST by

what was the manufacture date for this console?

Nov 11th, 2009 at 3:40:54 PM PST by

September 1999. The model is HKT-3020. (I botched it in the description. I hope there was not an HT version.) It was made in China.

I see a "1 NTSC U", which I interpret as a region-lock, NTSC console.

Is there anything special about various versions?

Nov 11th, 2009 at 6:51:19 PM PST by

well this might make a great addition to the crazy amount of dreamcast games I own.
