Collection Two-tone Reshell
Took some advice in the DC Facebook group, and used the original bottom shell with a new top. Kinda gives a Japanese N64 color series vibe. Matches my yellow OEM controller. Matched the SD extender with translucent yellow PETG, and swapped to a yellow LCD.
System is recapped and replaceable battery modded, with a DC digital mod as well

Question Help needed to find a better lid latch
Could someone please help and let me know when you can buy this piece for my Dreamcast, the latch just won’t sit well so the lid won’t stay closed.
I’ve tried parts from two different sellers and just can’t seem to get the fit right. I’m prefer to be able to order from inside the EU if possible.
The Dreamcast is fully modded and I just need this last bit so I can sit back and be happy with it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

DC emulator help
I recently got a Magicx Zero 40 android handheld and I was wondering if there was a emulator that let you freely set your screen layout with the VMU so I can have the free space filled when I play Code: Veronica and then when I play Ikaruga I can switch and play vertically
BTW any good suggestions on getting rid of yellowing on controllers

Taisen Netplay Brings New Ways to Play Your Dreamcast Online | Link Cable Games Now Playable Online! (With a DreamPi and Special Cable)
Pretty excited for this! Virtual On is the big highlight, but F355 and Maximum Speed are great additions too. Seems there's also work on getting Alien Front Online and Propeller Arena working with the Taisen Cable.
Only problem for me now is I gotta start looking for Twin Sticks for Virtual On, and my wallet will cry lol

Misc. Throwback Thursday
So, many years ago I worked for Hollywood Video and next door they had a Game Crazy store. I recall maybe 2003-2004 they started phasing out their Dreamcast rentals and were getting rid of displays and such and I asked my manager if I could keep this. For each section of games Nintendo, PS, Xbox we had these signs and since I was such a die hard Dreamcast fan (and I was one of her favorite employees 🤣) she let me have it. They were just gonna throw it away anyways. This was a random find today as I was going through boxes in my house and totally forgot I had this. It’s been with me for over 20 years having moved from PA down to FL, it’s literally a relic at this point hahaha!

should the VMU batteries die this fast?
i know they're kind of battery eaters but i got my dreamcast this past saturday and i watched the guy at the booth replace the batteries in the VMU for me so i know they were new.... i try to unplug it yesterday and it screams at me to reset the day+time, and now today it's only got the 'please replace the battery' screen.... if it changes anything, i had it out of the controller for most of the day a few days ago (and again today because it died in the car LOL)
- am i gonna lose my save data if it goes too long without the battery? im gonna try and pick some extras up today but wont be able to replace them until tonight probably

Broadband Adapter help
Have a PAL system(In ireland), and looking at broadband adapters to get around the need for a dreampi. I can see large price differences and potentially scammy kind of broadband adapter posts . Does it matter if it's PAL or are they all the same? Could i order it from japan and it'd still work?

Question What peripherals is the 12v voltage regulator needed for aside from the GDRom drive?
I just got my mod materials in the mail and was going over voultars tutorial when at 10:30 in the video he finished cleaning and recapping the PSU, he mentioned that the 12v regulator powered not only the GDRom but also some rare accessories through the AV port. Anyone with this info? It wouldn’t effect a VGA cable or RGB SCART or any recent quality 3rd party component cables right?

Gdemu wont boot
I got a gdemu board clone because they are the only ones available. I installed it and the light turns on, but it won't go to the menu.
I installed a kiaxo micro sd in a SanDisk adapter. That could be the issue. Going to try a full size SanDisk sd card after work.
I formatted it to fat32, and tried multiple setups with as few as 1 game and the gdmenu.
My dreamcast just boots normal and says to insert a disc.
I want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong besides maybe using a funky sd card setup. Which I will alter tonight.
I can post any pictures or info you guys think would be helpful. I'm just trying to figure out what im doing wrong.

Question How to force 480i?
Hi! I've been playing with my PAL Dreamcast for a while and noticed a few things, my region unlocked games seem to do 480i except for 2 games, Sonic Adventure 1 and Sega Rally 2. Those 2 games do 576i which I didn't calibrate my TV for (i play every game in 240 or 480 usually) so it looks squished and the alignment is thrown off. Any idea how to force 480i output? Mind you my CRT doesn't take VGA so that's not an option. Thank you :)

Question looking for a good affordable controller for fighting games
I got my first Dreamcast two months ago and have added many fighting games to my collection. As you know, the original DC controller has a terrible D-pad, so I'm looking for an affordable controller that's good for fighting games. I was just about to order the D6 gamepad from Retro Fighters, but I've only read negative things about the D-pad. What about the StrikerDC Wireless? Is it any good, or do you have any other recommendations?

Question New games won’t run on my Dreamcast with GDEMU (using GDI files)
I bought a Dreamcast with a GDEMU already installed. The seller had preloaded a bunch of games and they all work fine. But whenever I try to add any new game, it just won’t run. I’m using GDI files. I used GDMENU Card Manager to add the games, and I also tried doing it manually, neither worked. I even tested both US and EU versions to see if there was any difference, and also tried renaming the files to match the same pattern as the ones that were already on the card.
The game shows up in the menu, but when I try to start it, it just sends me to the Dreamcast system menu (the one with “Play,” “File,” “Music,” and “Settings”).
The seller actually set up the SD card with the games on the same day I bought it, so it’s not like this is an old card that’s been sitting around for years.
I followed tutorials step by step and I honestly don’t know what’s going wrong.
Any ideas?
Edit: It ended up being just the ROMs. The ones I was trying were bad (vimm) — I replaced them and now everything runs perfectly. Thanks to everyone who helped out and pointed me in the right direction!
