Great review as it is and nice pics too.

DCDayDreamer goes green with envy and wishes he hated Wraggs for being a show-off.

I would have had more pics of the Treamcast working but my ruddy camera kept on distorting the light so i gave up :)

I've been endlessly debating on getting one of these..
But I keep wondering about that screen, and how well
it plays the VCD's.. at least 1/2 the question is answered,
the other 1/2 hopefully soon..

Is there a contrast/brightness adjustment on it?

Ive looked into getting one of these to put in my car for the long trips I end up taking quite frequently (seeing as how the iPod can offer only so much entertainment) and was wondering if it works with regular dreamcast controllers, cuz i still have my old DC, a couple of controllers and all my old games, and if i could drag it along with me, that'd be great, thanx

One problem with the review is that the controller is based off of the Saturn Model 2 controller
