Sometimes I just wish that I could access all my console games from one place instead of diving in to a pile of games cases, instruction booklets, maps and other clutter. My Dreamcast games are now growing in size too and with all my games trying to burst out of my cabinet under the TV I'm wondering how long it will be before they start to attack other parts of the house.

If only there was a way to store all the games discs inside the machine and have them play like a jukebox, then you could file all your game cases away in a box and forget about them. Yes the box art is pretty, but how often do you actually look at your game cases rather than playing the games.

Perhaps I'm just too lazy, but it would be nice to think there is a way to put all your games together in one place and have instant access to them.

Interesting!

I thought that a console manufacturer would have possibly thought of using multiple CD drives by now, but I guess it's not a very popular idea.

Besides, if you had too many the console would end up looking more like a jukebox (than, say, an X-box?)

Well aware of my ever growing insanity, I have designed a auotmatic video changer, which can be operated with a remote control. It would work just as well with the Dreamcast, although it would be hard to get the GD out of the console...


I am quite serious about my designs. I just need the money to make them.

Anyone what to drive the first ever solar powered hover car? Give me some money then.
