Hell, I'm not talking about the treamcast, I'm talking about an official console released by sega, I'll look for the name and I'll tell you about it just give me some time.

I think they are useful, because they are small and easy to handle, but often the sound, vision and gameplay is limited. The next one with two screens should hopefully change all that.

What does everyone think about the Gameboys?

Cusack, I know what I'm talking about.

Further to Darkarus Joe: the Treamcast was an illegal console, not actually produced by Sega and was removed from sale quickly.

Also whilst there were bleemcasts for Tekken, MGS and I can't remember the other one, there was a version that was good for all PS games, but was more expensive.

You are so stupid mate.

1- There was a new version of the dreamcast called a treamcast which was not for piracy but was a DC with a screen like thet GC today and was not for piracy.

2- The piracy was harming play station due to a company called bleam who made PS game and converted them to DC but only 3 were made.

3- Must..quote....all..of..mess...age. *Dies*

The GD was pirated and that's why sega released another version of the dreamcast, I don't remember it's name, but I know that nobody bought it.

I am right

NB is right about the GD roms and even if you had CD games they would need a boot disk.

A good PC is always a useful gaming tool, though.
