    • Oh hai. I'm one of the other dozen that had both _and_ ran it through a VGA adapter on a monitor for clean 640x480 signal. It's wild that Sega really had what was essentially an off the shelf PCMCIA card off to the side for peripherals, USB on the front, and entirely off-the-shelf components from Hitachi, PowerVR, and Yamaha inside. It was definitely an extremely bright sign of what consoles were going to become: entirely off-the-shelf hardware with no bespoke parts to speak of. It's really too bad that Sega of America couldn't hit their ass with both hands, a map, and a massive pot of money just waiting for them.

    • You can still play Quake 3 online on the Dreamcast today. It's also cross-platform with the PC version (PC must be on patch 1.16n with DC map pack installed). The PAL version of Q3A sadly lacked support for the broadband adapter but the NTSC version did.

  • 24:05 A buddy and I were touring id about a month before Quake 3 DC was released. We were walking through and noticed Quake 3 on a TV with a Dreamcast under it. Neither of us knew it was in the works, so we grabbed Marty Stratton (he was giving us the tour since he was kinda the guy that managed Quakecon and we were there as volunteers) and said "DUDE! Is that Quake 3 running on a _Dreamcast?!"_ He got a big grin and said "Oh yeah! You guys wanna see it?" Super fun way to find out about it. Fun fact: the PC version of Quake 3 could crossplay with the Dreamcast online. You had to patch back to version 1.16n and download a map pack that contained all the Dreamcast specific maps and you were golden. We actually ran a server for it at one of the CPL events. id's engine tech was just crazy flexible and could be made to perform on anything. I'm fully convinced John Carmack is a hyper advanced AI that aliens left on our planet just to give us amazing video game engines.

  • Steam Deck has been an amazing way to re-experience Dreamcast games, especially shooters. Why? Because once you have EmuDeck set up, you can easily remap shooter controls to be much more intuitive. So for example, because the DC lacked 2 analog sticks, typically the face buttons would be for movement while the analog stick would be for aiming, which was awkward. But on Deck, you can instead map the left stick to the face buttons for movement and the right stick for aiming. But here's where things get wild and what sets the Steam Deck above the other handhelds... You can then do gyro aiming in Dreamcast games! So that when the right stick or right trackpad is merely being touched (as in the gyro is only activated when they're touched and isn't active all the time), the gyro can act as the Dreamcast's left stick, so you now have full on gyro aiming acting as the left stick in Dreamcast shooters. Or you can map the right trackpad to emulate the Dreamcast's left stick, and have trackpad + gyro aiming, which feels even more accurate. And speaking of the trackpad - Silent Scope on Dreamcast feels insanely good to play using the Steam Deck's trackpad, way more intuitive and faster than using an analog stick, so the trackpads are fantastic for on rails shooters, which the DC had a lot of. If you're an old school Dreamcast fan, get yourself a Steam Deck. Once you have EmuDeck set up, no other device on the market does a better job at placing your Dreamcast games directly on the main UI in such an elegant fashion. And then there's the added layer of being able to easily customise the controls or the frame rate - on a per game basis.

  • Maken X is such a great game. I love the lore, the character design, the gameplay--for me, that's almost exactly how I play Oblivion. It's all just so unique. That first playthrough was such a trip because of how interesting the worldbuilding and the aesthetics and design were. The soundtrack is utterly phenomenal. Shoji Meguro did such a great job with the soundtrack and it's such a shame people don't acknowledge it as much as they should. It also has just an incredible amount of replayability given the 6 endings the game has. That game makes me wish they did a proper remaster of Maken X just because theres so much character lore and worldbuilding lore to be expanded upon. It has so much potential for a good modern remake. I have Maken X on my top 10 Dreamcast games of all time and I stand by it. Its still just so good.

Only in the last years have 3rd party premium controllers rediscovered the tech. Microsoft made a big deal of bringing back hall effect triggers for Xbox One controllers years ago (Dreamcast pioneered those too). But Microsoft has stuck with those nasty potentiometer analogue sticks, they and Sony seem to have a 99 year contract with Alps for those awful things.

  • For a millisecond, you had me wondering if purposely avoiding the Kiss game every time I saw it on store shelves was a mistake. Luckily, I'm glad I didn't miss out on that disaster. I think something they could have done to circumnavigate the lack of a second thumb stick, they could have gone the Metroid Prime route, where you press and hold a button to lock in on an enemy, which allows you to move and strafe while staying on target. A dedicated 180 button on the D-Pad would help, too. N64 could have used a similar system just fine, too. Honesty, button combinations are a pretty smart way to take advantage of limited buttons.

  • It's a shame western developers never really came to terms with the Dreamcast hardware. It had so many great hardware optimization features that made it extremely competitive or even ahead of PC hardware at the time (1998-2000). Like how the tile-based deferred rendering helped with geometry culling and improved rasterized performance, or how 4-bit paletted texture could be compressed to a ratio of 32:1 instead of 4:1. Theoretically allowing the Dreamcast to offer 60MB worth of texture memory, as long as you designed them with 16 colors in mind (I mean you don't need much more for "single-material textures" like grass, dirt, wood, stone, steel etc. and you can always use other texture formats where it makes sense). For engines and graphics assets built ground up for the hardware it was just way ahead of its time. unfortunately, many western developers just made straight conversions of PC games using PC optimized engines, resulting in pretty crude results on the DC... Quake III is really the only game showcasing a decent effort of hardware optimization.

  • A fun thing to keep in mind for Maken X in the future is that it also has a PS2 version, Maken Shao, which puts the game in third person and reworks a lot of elements even if it's still the same core game beneath it all.

  • For over a decade, I played first person shooters in Windows using a wireless PS/2 ball mouse. Yes, it needed to be cleaned occasionally, but it was never a big problem. It was also quite accurate and I never had any problems aiming at even small targets in the distance with precision. Unfortunately, that's not something I can say about any laser mouse I've ever used. Maybe it's because they're too sensitive, but I find it almost completely impossible to aim at small targets with any degree of accuracy. If I get the horizontal aim just right, the vertical aim will be off. So I move the mouse up slightly and it jitters to the side a couple pixels. So I nudge it back the other way and now it's a couple pixels too low. Move it up a tiny amount and it jumps a few pixels to the other side! ARGH!!! Here's a test I like to do: When you move the pointer over text, it changes to a vertical line with little cross pieces at the top and bottom. Pick a symmetrical letter like A, H, X, etc, and try to center the pointer on that letter perfectly, both horizontally and vertically, and then take your hand off the mouse so that it stays there. How long does it take and how much trouble is it to get it to stay centered? For me, it's an exercise in frustration. Or load up a good drawing program (MS Paint doesn't qualify), load a B/W drawing and try to follow some of the lines in the image with the mouse while drawing in some color. How closely were you able to follow the lines? My ball mouse used to be pretty accurate, but with laser mice, it goes all over, no matter how slowly I go. Note: No cheating by lowering the DPI on the mouse, or adjusting the mouse speed in windows. Perform these tests with the mouse set the way you normally use it.

  • It has never quite sat right with me that some regions have the Dreamcast swirl logo in orange. In the UK and Europe (don't know where else), the swirl was blue, which much better matched the water-dropping sound of the intro. Strange that they chose different versions, it would be like some versions of the Gamecube intro being green, or something!
