I owned a Dreamcast 20 some years ago. It was one of the funnest systems ive had. It sadly got destroyed in a flood. Ever since then ive been on the fence about getting another one; well I figured, theyre getting old and its gonna be impossible to find one soon, so I bought 2 (kind of on accident, I won a bid i didnt intend to)!

Im super pumped. I already have way too many consoles but the dreamcast is just too awesome. I know I'll likely have to do the sd card mod and replace the psu, which is fine.

I was also very excited to see the online hobby community is still alive!! I would LOVE to get mine going for some online games someday.

Now to make space for it or decide if I can part with another console ๐Ÿค”

My DC has the cheap 3rd party psu it's fine but you want a good wall wart for it, I use a wii psu brick with a soldered barrel connector. If you can recapping the original psu is the best bet though.

For the ode I have the GDEMU cheap Ali express one is fine I think the original ones are hard to get.

Then I did the noctua fan mod. It's a very loud machine by modern standards.
