    Home/News Treamcast - The Unnofficial Portable Dreamcast History

    Continuing our network wide feature for just about every console thats emulated and that we own, in time it can be used as a reference point for people to look at what games are the very best on each system

    Firstly heres a look at each system and a description to remind you of the history of the console.



    Treamcast

    It seems to have become the going trend in the year 2000. Take an LCD screen and attach it to a console, provide an alternate power source, and you get gaming on the go! It's been done with the PSOne and the GameCube consoles, but who would think to make one for the Sega Dreamcast? Apparently the people of China felt it was a good idea. From the streets of Hong Kong comes the Treamcast! For around 1500HKD (around $192 USD ) you could get your hands on this portable Dreamcast .

    The Treamcast unit comes in it's own soft nylon suitcase styled carrying bag sporting it's name. The bag contains velcro straps similar to a laptop bag, and open slots for game storage. The Treamcast bundle comes with the system, two 6 button Neo Geo CD style game pads, wall power cable, car adapter, and a remote. Why a remote? Treamcast not only plays games. It can also play VCD (Video CD), SVCD, and even MP3's. Other modifications include a brightness regulator knob for the built in back lit LCD screen, and also input jacks for speakers or headphones. There is even an adjustable volume knob. To top things off, the Treamcast is completely region free and plays all Homebrew.

    When placed side by side with the actual Dreamcast you can clearly see that the unit is a lot bulkier, but generally the same size. The LCD display works well, but like most displays of this type can get blurring during fast pace action. The control pads work amazingly well, and are suited better for fighting games. However they lack the ports for both the VMU and rumble packs. So you may have to pick up an official Dreamcast controller to get the most out of certain game titles. All in all the Treamcast is a remarkable system.

    The Newer revision of the Treamcast comes in black with the original controllers and a widescreen LCD Monitor and can be brought from SuccessHK for 180 Dollars (Around 100 pounds)

    For a Change as we have already done Dreamcast, Whats your favourite Dreamcast Homebrew release and Why ?

    I would really like to play Phantasy star online if i'm on a vacation although the servers are offline.
    But maybe it's possible to play on a pirated server.

    Schthack server, though I'm unsure what the curreent situation is with Hunter Lisences due to the official server being pulled, I'll check the FAQ there.

    As for my favorite homebrew, thats a toughie. Probably either the port of marathon, or beats of rage as my favorite game, app-wise i"m unsure.
