Off topic, Dreamcasts were one of the first and only consoles that i made an extra effort to procure from pawm shops, repeatedly, as each one I obtained succumbed to hardware failure within very little time.

Should their hardware have been more resilient, as their security, the Dreamcasts would have been an amazing console, more than it already was.

I’m curious what hardware failures you had. In my experience (I’ve had a Dreamcast since they were new and have been a part of the homebrew scene for years) they are absolutely rock solid hardware. Can take a ton of abuse without issue and I’ve never had a single console fail on me, nor have I heard of failures from my homebrew scene buddies…

To be clear I’m not implying you’re lying or anything, I was just extremely surprised to hear this as it goes against all of my experience with the console.
