The Unofficial Portable Dreamcast known as the Treamcast
Review.
Introduction
Hi im wraggster the webmaster of Dreamcast
Homebrew and also DCEmu
for those that dont know these are 2 of the most
active and biggest sites that report news and have a
massive community for the shortlived but excellent Dreamcast
console. Ever since Lik
Sang reported on the availability of a Unnoficial
Dreamcast that had a built in screen i was itching to
get a hold of one, so lets proceed.
Buying the Treamcast
I live in England so buying from Hong Kong was a risky
move for me but i decided to take the risk, i had already
bought several items from Success
HK and was quite happy to go ahead with buying one
off them, the price for the Treamcast was $180 which
is around £90 in my money so a very good price,
infact the best i could find. The cost of delivery was
in my opinion decent, $47 dollars (£23) for UPS
to deliver it so not too bad so far and the 3/4 day
delivery time made me very happy. Sad for me but customs
got a hold of the parcel and i got charged £31
extra for taxes/handling so the first downer so far
but overall the price was still decent and cheaper than
anyone else.
The Treamcast was wrapped in a good sturdy box and
inside lots of bubble wrap so in case of heavy handling
it should be fine.
New Black Version of the Treamcast Released
The Treamcast (pictures and small descriptions)
Heres the picture of the unopened Treamcast Bag.
As you
can see the bag is quite compact but fits everything
in quite well and is made rather well.

As you can see everything is all snugly fiited in,
lets see what we have.

Megadrive joypads complete with turbo buttons.
