yep, still got mine in the loft as well. I was in Hollywood on hols when it launched. Picked one up and brought it back with me. awesome little machine.
 
What games do you currently have?

And to save a game, you need the VMU (Visual Memory Unit) that plugs into either of the two slots on the gamepad controllers.

As for the display cable, that looks to be the crappy old RF cable that comes standard which plugs into the TV aerial connector. I'd suggest looking for the official SCART cable if you can for easier and much better quality display picture.
 
Give the box in the lead a bit of a slap helps if you have the TV on the right frequency as well.
 
No games with it? I got a SNES last week. Not boxed but currently loving doney kong and got to vulture culture last night. Super tennis is as good as what it was almost 20 years ago, street fighter 2 turbo and mario kart are also obviosuly amazing still
 
na no games, any idea how to tune this dreamcast , i got the rf cable, tv out into the telly, antenna in the rf cable where it says antenna. i have the antenna leaning out the window, still no picture, confused? what do i have to do.

Not sure about Dreamcast but on my snes you just connect the rf cable to the back of the tv then into the console.

Took a bit of time to work out the tuning mind. Ended up getting my mate to do it. (Thats because we still have a 14" Beko tv that was left in our flat)
 
It has been a VERY long time since I used the RF connection, but all I remember doing was plug in it as you described, and then check the usual numbered channels on your TV set where it may be on, and in my case it was channel 0. Picture was exceptionally crap though, far too much interference, hence why you should just get the official SCART cable. At least it goes straight towards your AV extension channels. And yes, all you will get if you boot up the Dreamcast it will just be it's Boot Menu to acess it's settings or memory cards etc.
 
It's ridiculously easy to tune in.

1. Choose a free channel
2. Connect up Dreamcast
3. Insert game and start Dreamcast
4. Start MANUAL tuning the chosen channel
5. Go through the frequencies until the Dreamcast's display appears on screen


I'm sure you can tell the difference between a TV channel and the Dreamcast display so it should be simple enough.



Know this all to well due to having a TV with no scart socket for yeaaarrs.
 
Jeez! How old are you to not know how to tune a telly in!!! Digital generation my arse lol!

Plug it in then tune an analogue channel into the frquency used by the DC. Just like the good old days before scart leads!!
 
YES..........did it, was channel 5 in my case thanks guys, just kept clicking tune tune tune and then i saw the set date/time settings, brilliant.
