I just ordered an dreamcast on eBay and eventually want to get CRT monitor to try out the VGA as well as I have an OSSC which has VGA inputs.

Was originally thinking of getting the official VGA box until I saw the compassion video of the crushing black.

VT2 is probably in my top 5 most played DC game.

I must admit that I have hardly played any indie games on the DC but there have been huge improvements since the last vote in 2016.

Amazing amount of effort put in to the article.

I wasn't expecting this kind of reveal!

It's been a while since I'd thought about these sites! Especially fond memories of lSOZone and a few from OnlineConsoles, also Shenmue Dojo which is still going but very different from when I was active. Didn't realise Blue Swirl disappeared this year too...

I never get tired of listening to the ambient sounds and the music.

Simply amazing and fingers crossed for something playable in the future!
