Hack up my Dreamcasts!

Postby Ben on Fri May 01, 2009 3:16 am

I picked up quite a few broken Dreamcasts off ebay the other day pretty dirt cheap. I got 5 broken consoles (which all seem to have repairable problems) for less than $30 shipped!

I've got plans for them, whether that be making a portable Dreamcast (quite an endeavor that would be) or some other sort of cool mod.

Anyway, my 5 Dreamcasts, all properly labeled with there problems:

... :shock:

Wow, what is wrong with them? Burnt out ports and drives? Should be interesting to see what you're going to do with 5 gaming consoles.

Keep us posted.

Two had a broken laser...
One had a broken fuse in the controller ports...
One would not display video or sound...
And one of them just worked... even after it was labeled broken...

I'm trying to acquire a Sony 5" PSOne screen... as these are the most hackable small display monitors you can get!
