Questions & Answers

@retrorefresh @retrorefresh @retrorefresh @retrore Is this the first version of Va1?

I haven't decided yet. I can say it's a version that reads all regions and plays burned discs, as well as the version that reads 0–I hadn't opened it to see. I hope this has been of assistance.

Is this the version available in the United States? Is it possible to unlock it? Does it come with the original packaging?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Regardless, it's in good shape.

Is there a vmu included, or do I need to purchase one separately?

A VMU is not included and must be purchased separately.

Is this a va1 ntsc of what version?

It's the version with all the hot garbage. Smh, this nonsense didn't even load or play a disc.

Selected User Reviews For Sega Dreamcast Console (Renewed)

The console was functional, but it was filthy and in bad shape
3/5

The console and controller both work, but I thought I was buying a "refurbished console," and RetroRefresh sent me a console that looks like it was scrubbed with a magic eraser, the controller has scuffs and scratches, the console was just dirty in general, and it wouldn't play discs until the laser was cleaned. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I'd go with item bazzar.

My most beloved gaming console! For YEARS, I wished for a Dreamcast! I finally succumbed to the temptation to purchase one despite the fact that I lacked the financial means to do so
5/5

However, I am ecstatic. The console itself was in excellent condition (though the disc reader is quite noisy; mine sounds like a high-end car stereo). Some sort of high-tech computer. The controller, on the other hand, had a squeaky right trigger that was fixed with a little WD40. The analog stick twists, making it a little difficult to make Sonic run straight in the game, but not too difficult. It's a fun game, but I'm considering getting a new one. I had to purchase a virtual machine unit separately. It's my all-time favorite gaming console!.

Very good, but you may need to erase the DC internal memory for your PSO file
4/5

Product is in excellent condition, and shipping was extremely quick. The internal memory was not erased, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. This is crucial if you plan on purchasing a Dreamcast(DC) in order to continue playing your Phantasy Star Online(PSO) file. ver2) ties your file to the console, so if you need to play it on another console, you won't be able to find another PSO file saved there. If you have a browser disc, simply plug one controller into the port "B" slot of your DC to erase the internal memory. Insert the web browser, then press and hold the x and b buttons on the controller to turn it on, then wait for the DC to boot up. br>br> I had two browser discs on hand, so it wasn't a problem for me. Also, I'm not sure if the memory on their other DC consoles needs to be cleared, so it could just be my console. Apart from that minor annoyance, I would recommend this seller for purchasing the DC.

It was a pleasant rebirth
5/5

My Dreamcast was in excellent condition when it arrived. There are no blemishes, scratches, or blemishes on the surface. The controller was still tight, and it felt exactly like the DC I used to play on when it was released in 1999. I used an HDMI adapter and a clone GDEMU to recreate some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, as well as some new ones. In comparison to the garbage from Gamestop, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a console that had been properly cared for. It was well worth the expense.

It appears to be in good shape
4/5

I don't use the disc drive because I use a disc drive simulator board, which works perfectly. For the board to work, you'll need a model 1 Dreamcast, which is indicated on the console's bottom. I wish Amazon would tell you which model you're getting, because I had to take a chance that the one I ordered was the model 1.

For the second time, it won't play disks, so I'm returning it because it's the second Dreamcast I've shipped that hasn't worked
3/5

Smh, I'm going to get a Raspberry Pi.

Dreamcast is a joy to use
5/5

The console, controllers, and power supply were all in good working order and had been properly packaged for shipment. Has been well cared for and runs quietly. I'm looking forward to the arrival of Project Justice. As a kid, I used to play that game.

My new Dreamcast, which I purchased because my old Dreamcast was having issues with certain games
5/5

Some games (Spawn, Marvel Versus Capcom 2) were always playable, while others (Shenmue, Jet Grind Radio, D-Day) were not. Because my old Dreamcast and games were used in the first place, I wasn't sure if it was a problem with the game(s) or the system itself, but after considering that the (old) system came from a non-gaming family, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the game(s) or the system itself. After a bad experience with an Amazon store that has since proven to be unreliable, I decided to order this Amazon Renewed Dreamcast, which arrived promptly and in excellent working condition. I can safely say that the problem I had was in my old system after hooking it up and playing some of my favorite games on it. After starting a disc, I no longer get a black screen or am immediately returned to the home screen, and I no longer have to worry about the game crashing or having to insert a good disc 20 times. This is my second successful vintage Sega hardware purchase from this seller, following my Model 1 Genesis purchase.
