Hard to belive it was 10 years ago Dreamcast came out in Japan!

I think I actually got it on the 29/30th though as obviously it took a couple of days to get shipped over here.
It was awesome to have it for Xmas though months before the Euro launch.

I really hope this gets a release on XBLA (with the steering issue sorted of course).

Yeah, I rebought a copy this year and I am sure you can change the sensitivity.
I thought it was excellent, but what I really wanted was an arcade perfect port of the Daytona USA 2 Battle on the Edge.

You could adjust the sensitivity but this didn't resolve the issue. You ended up with a switched/analogue setup with a massive dead zone in the middle - I remember EDGE mentioning this was the best you hope for in their review
With the wheel plugged in though it was arcade perfect.

Never got a wheel unfortunately. My Dreamcast gets taken out once a year when I go through a gaming lull or when I try to remember how good gaming was back in the mid nineties to early 2000s. I might just take the Dreamcast out soon, I would love to finish Shenmue 2 again, and want to play the classics like Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure and through the VGA cable the games look stunning!

Where can I get VGA cable for reasonable price? All this glazy eyed rreminiscing makes me want to dig out my Dreamcast out and start playing Although, I can't remember what games i still have

Probably around £20 for a third party one, which is what I have and it works really well. If you found the extremely rare one somewhere you should be looking to spend upwards of £50, I saw one a few months back on ebay for £60 and was a little tempted, but I do not spend much time on the Dreamcast and I doubt the difference will be noticeable tbh, but who knows?

Cheers fella. I'll have to do some searching online to see what I can find - I think its about time I dusted off that copy of Shenmue

Hopefully they'll bring Crazy Taxi to XBLA and I won't need it then.
Powerstone 2 would be nice as well.

Do any shops sell these? Or am I going to have to brave ebay?
