Hi!

I am making quite good progress in making a handheld portable DreamCast portable system.

It is a big project requiring a lot of modding work.

If you are interested in seeing work to date, and pics/videos, please visit this site!

I've been following your work in the past around the circles, assembler benheck etc.

The biggest piece of advice, that I've mentioned to many who have attempted this is to invest a tiny bit of time and research to find a va2 Dreamcast.

Those, the last revisions, have the entire gd-rom subboard integrated into the motherboard. This makes portabilization a MUCH easier prospect, and despite rumours, they are MIL-CD compatible

.

Good luck finishing up.

Thanks for the kind comments!

Only DreamCast's I get are from car boot sales, got 3 and they are all the same; separate boards, 1999 models!

The DreamCast isn't one of my favourite platforms in regards to games I must say, there are a few good ones but not many IMHO. Out of the few I have, the games I really want to play on it are Quake 3, Shenmue and Cosmic Smash; especially Quake 3.
