I've still got the limited edition of GTA. Last time I looked, it was worth £30. Don't know if I'll ever sell it.

Hate this thread. Spending too much.

Sealed eternal darkness. Missing from my cube collection and don't like used discs unless I can see them first.

Official RGB Scart for my 2nd cube.

New controllers, only one is mine.

RGB Scart gives such a massive improvement over the standard composite image, it's amazing how many people don't realise that though.

dannycivic02 · 12 Jul 2012 at 19:30

I got 2 brand new dreamcast controllers a vmu and a rumble pack come through the post today just need my actual dreamcast to arrive now.

GTO656 · 12 Jul 2012 at 19:40

Lol I ordered a new dreamcast controller, rumble pack and 2 VMUs from the forest yesterday. and 2day received the VMUs hw quick lool. surprised that these are all new to this date.

dannycivic02 · 12 Jul 2012 at 21:08

Yeah I was pretty suprised I thought I was buying second hand for such a silly low price the vmu still has the pull tab for the battery only thing was they wernt boxed but I can live with that as they are going to be used.

A few pics of the bits I got this week and so it begins.

And just realised the time, I have been playing them since I finished work at 1 this afternoon lol.

d_brennen · 14 Jul 2012 at 00:12

With the Dreamcast thread and this one keeping on poping up I'm going to have to get up into the loft, aren't I? :mad:

That's the reason why I still find the likes of my Dreamcast and PS2 can look great even on a modern HDTV. Still bright, colourful and vibrant, and some people tend to call BS on my part.

An official RGB SCART cable for the respective console and the RGB SCART port on the TV does absolute wonders. Sure a VGA box or Component cable will be better but RGB SCART is so overlooked by many people by for it's simplicity and what it can really do is just silly.

Great pics dude, i c ur gettin dreamcast connected thru internet what way? the broadband adaptor costs way too much, apparantly it can be connected via PC. any know?

dannycivic02 · 14 Jul 2012 at 12:40

No not connected if you mean the book that just came with the system which is a nice addition but yeah those broadband adaptors are silly money. Connection through the PC is that using the modem thats on it?
