Thanks! I like my Dreamcast a lot.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Dreamcast is great. Especially if you have a CD burner

I'd consider an optical drive emulator like GDEMU so you can store your entire collection on an SD card. This ensures your physical collection lasts longer and loading times are shorter as well.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Much better idea, I don't guess I was aware of it

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The physical discs won't last much longer.

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Uh…I don’t use CD burners.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Might be worth looking into an external, unless you are a physical collector. You do you friend

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I’m a physical collector.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I dig it. My only other advice, is you could use backups to keep your originals in good condition, but I'm not sure if CD-Rs are more rough on the laser

If you ever have the opportunity, I would be interested in seeing your collection

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dreamcast or in general?

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In general. I enjoy all retro gaming stuff

[–] VanHalbgott@lemmy.autism.place 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dreamcast, Saturn, 2600, Genesis, Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1, Odyssey^2^, Xbox, SNES, and NES. I own a lot of systems.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hell yeah. I look forward to seeing more of your posts

I miss mine so much, my dimwit brother threw it away like 2 decades ago along with our Megadrive, and I occasionally remember that and get sad all over again
