Smash Pack was also released on the same day Sega announced they were dropping out of the console business. Makes that hidden message all the more poetic.
Same story here. Was a loyal Sega fan to a fault. Had a Saturn and master system as well. I remember going to toys r us and debating between ps1 and Saturn... I took the paper slip for the Saturn because i thought to myself, "Sony makes televisions... What do they know about gaming.... Sega is King re: mega drive/Genesis." Lols memories!
@@JoeyMartz same. we still exist (sega fanatifcs), we are just disguised as zombie ps4/xbox 1/pc gamers. I will always include Nights, Skies of Arcadia, Panzer Dragoon Saga (yes i have a real copy), Shenmue, etc among my fav games ever.
This was a great video! I was definitely burning DC games back then, but I didn't know much about the groups or how they worked, or how repackaging the games worked, so that was great to learn. Anyway, I know you're a huge DC fan, so happy 9/9! (I appreciate the link to my vid, too.)
wow, brings back a lot of fond memories of college days - Echelon/Kalisto were also mostly reachable via IRC back then and had an incredible amount of super friendly people willing to share/teach everyone. In retrospect, makes you appreciate the old school social networks and how people used them back then compared to the nonsense that is happening on FB/Insta today. One thing you forgot to mention is that many of the group members were later convicted for one thing or another during Operation Fastlink in 2004-2005. Although that obviously didn't stop anyone
I always remember 9-9-99. The Dreamcast US launch, and Chris Rock was hosting an MTV award show that always used 9-9-99 during the promos. It was a huge day for that particular date.
Dreamcast was amazing. Set the standard for what we have now. Didn't even realize today was the anniversary. Insane. I remember buying mine the day Resident Evil: Code Veronica came out.
The Dreamcast was and always will be my favorite console. I'll never forget the day my mom brought it home and loading up sonic Adventure with my older brother
i never sell on my consoles i still have my original ps1 and sega megadrive also as well as the ps2 ps3 wii wii u and all that .... its good to look back every now and then .you should try and get a dreamcast there's a load of great games you can just download and burn onto cd if you have the older model of course i think it was patched on later models .
Still have my original Dreamcast that I got for Christmas 2000. The GD Rom Drive burnt out on it so I had to replace it recently with GD Emu. It never ceases to amaze me as to how much love gets poured into this console by its community. Whether it be the Dream-Pi to get Dreamcast games back online. Or the homebrew community who keep bringing out games for it. It is nothing short of amazing that even after 20 years, the community surrounding still has a pulse and still keeps it kicking. Love this little white box. Best Christmas present I ever got.
I really love your channel. It's in my top 3 most viewed channels among the millions of TH-cam channels. You always produce high quality production content. I am a life long fan. Take care my retro brotha. I wish you continued success and growth. Respect! 🙏
It’s like a Hybrid of the best of what gaming had to offer between 1998-2002. Such an underrated console. I’m Glad I have mine with 4 controllers and my endless back up games. MVC2 is godly.
Such a great video, when that echelon intro hit it really brought it back for me, I totally forgot about the smash pack release with all the other games, I didn’t know the back story on that, thanks! Keep up the good work
I just bought my first Dreamcast today after learning so much about it’s incredibly cool history (I work at a retro game store) and I am so happy it’s a launch model and in mint condition! Thank you for this super cool info. What a neat obscure gem of game history. 💛🌀
Pretty sure the difference between mil and regular CD's is in the formatting not the disc itself so regular CD-R's and CD-RWs should probably work fine (maybe, there actually is a difference between -R, -RW, +R, and +RW but most disc drives can at least read all 4 formats without issue).
The Dreamcast could read burned CDs fine and burning reduced disc images CDs on a PC was fine too. It was only executing code off them on a Dreamcast that was the problem for Joe Pirate (which was solved with the mil CD hack, which in turn was baked into images you would burn with Nero). The work of reading, ripping the GD discs, making them burnable and playable on on a DC was done for you by groups like Echelon.
Oh man, the Summer of 2000 was one of my favorites ever. Holed up at home, ripping stuff for echlelon, , then going to a local store where some manager would give me $5 credit for every burned game I gave him, which I could in turn provide for the group. To this day I have an incredible collection of DC games and accessories including the agetec sticks, VGA adapters, and brand new copies of seaman... I just know I'm going to spend all day watching these retrospectives. Glad I started here, Thanks MVG!
4:39 Man I haven't heard that Echelon tune in a long time. Amazing to think the Dreamcast is 20 years old now. The Dreamcast was my very first console. Growing up I remember receiving burned copies of games as a kid. I had the Utopia Boot CD, the Generator demo disc, and a Bleemcast disc for Gran Turismo 2. I didn't understand the significance of all this as a kid. All I knew was that I could play burned games and PS1 games right on my Dreamcast and thought it was the coolest thing ever. I still have my collection of games along with my original memory card and a Revision 0 Dreamcast. So many memories with this console. I can still remember the first time I booted up Crazy Taxi. Good times.
Happy to say I spent my day playing Dreamcast! Not many people understand my love for it. Druaga1 also made a video in celebration of Dreamcast's 20th birthday. What a great day!
I just want to let you know that I appreciate that when you mentioned an individual in a video you reached out to them for comment. It legitimizes the journalism being done on TH-cam
Got my Dreamcast at Christmas of 99....however i found where my parents hid it and was able to play the demo disk...the good ol days and the games i got were Sonic Adventures and Soul Cailbur. I still have my dreamcast and all my games in storage. Great video as always MVG!
I need to mod my 2nd dreamcast for the HD upgrade. Loving your videos! Amazing to know who worked on a lot of the homebrew for these consoles and how to happened. Keep doing this!!!
I remember when this launched the graphics were so amazing that I finally wanted a Sega console (I had a hand-me-down Genesis for Shining Force II exclusively). Glad to see the community is keeping this gem alive.
Happy Birthday Dreamcast! I didn't get it on 9-9-99, but I got it shortly after I saw people playing Soul Calibur! Probably my favorite old school console behind the Sega Genesis! A couple of years ago, my little cousins, aged 9, 11, and 13 at the time, borrowed my Dreamcast! It was basically their first game system, but they loved it! I had over 20 games for it, and they loved it! They are huge Sonic fans now after beating Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.
Cool Video MVG. I'm about to pull out my Dreamcast. 7:36 Bart Tryzynadlowski The guy behind the SEGA Model 3 emulator Supermodel 3. I didn't know he's involved with Genesis emulation.
Thanks for the video, incredible work as always! Watching this episode I was thinking how I would love to see a video of yours talking about lighting guns! The way it works and our chances to have a workaround way to adapt these to modern tvs...
As a kid in 2000 when i got the Dreamcast for Christmas, i have Zombie Revenge, Star Wars Episode 1 Racers, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and Dead or Alive 2 a few months later. My uncle has it before me, and he has Dynamic Cop. My cousin also have it before me, and he has Power Stone 2, Crazy Texi and Sega Smash Pack Volume 1.
It really is quite difficult to explain in words how magical the Dreamcast was in the late 90's I went from playing Tobal 2 and Tekken 3 on the PS1 in 1998 to playing Sonic Adventure and Virtua Fighter 3tb on an imported JP system in the same year. It was mind blowing. For me, just as magical as playing Ridge Racer and Tekken in 1995 on the PS1 at home.
Man, this video made me want a Dreamcast again. I have been thinking of getting a retro console, and this would be my start and then the Saturn and 3do.
Very nice video, Lantus! Congrats for the content and HQ video you are using. I didnt know kalisto and echelon were the same. I liked kalisto motto in nfos, “no egos no positions”. I think i got voiced once in their efnet channel. Long life mIRC, FlashFXP and Padus Discjuggler!! Thanks for this video. Happy bday Dreamcast!
Even though I was a young adult and had consoles before Dreamcast still remains my favourite, just as you say arcade in the home it felt like with some truly awesome titles, SEGA deserved way better success with this console I thought.
People may have their problems with the system but for me, every year is the year of the Dreamcast ❤️. Happy birthday old friend, you'll always be the console of the future.
what will always make the dreamcast stick out to me, is that certain, offbeat vibe and aesthetic it had to it. the design, the intro along with the drive ratting and spinning up ... the white menu screen before it was cool, and of course the game library itself. sega still had some "tude" left in it.
I read somewhere that a port of the arcade game SAVAGE QUEST was being worked on at the time the Dreamcast was discontinued. Now that is one game I would love to play.
A friend of mine had a Dreamcast. It crashed during bootup quite frequently but when it worked, it was indeed a great console. I've sort-of wanted my own since playing on it at the time but always thought it was dead with few games ever made. After watching, I now hope to get one soon!
Great look back! I remember back in the early 2000's I bought myself a serial cable and ripped my games myself, it was a heck of a process, taking about 24 hours per game! Crazy to think of now considering you can transfer a DC image over the web in less than a couple of minutes :) (Not that I condone this kind of thing)
I remember in Dreamcast magazine the article about Shenmue said that it was going to be like 12 parts or something, I was so hyped about it at the time. Dreamcast is a beast! I still have mine, it’s easy enough to burn games for it too 👌🏽
Fantastic coverage. 20 years, and still thinking. I remember hearing about Echelon, and others. Crazy how things turned out. It was definitely a different time, Sega is a different entity these days. But you never know there are surprises when you least expect them. "Open Your Heart"🎶
Superb video! Really interesting info on the hacking side - I’ve got loads of burnt games but have never seen one of those hack group intros on any? They look like the old Amiga ones you used to get....
I had a Dreamcast back in the day and it really did feel like something special! Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, Powerstone, Tech Romancer, PSO, Skies of Arcadia, etc so so so many great games and it only really had a couple of years shelf life!
My favorite console of all time! Although I got it 10 years after it released when I was 14, it really kickstarted my obsession with retro tech and collecting. This little white box changed my life...literally.
Dreamcast is lovely. I bought one too back then and it still works. It launched in 1998 in Japan, during prime time of N64 and PS1. It were a huge leap from those to DC.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DC!🎉🎁🎈 @11:30 if you power on the DC 1st, then your monitor after, it should balance out the image. using Akura? Gekko? Pound? VGA? If you power on the monitor 1st, then the DC, it will always put the image to one side. I love your videos. long time listener, (on my main channel) 1st time caller. 😊
The Dreamcast realy is the largest step forward in gaming. It is still incredible. If it came with a built in hard drive, it might have had its own version of XBMC.
Happy birthday Dreamcast! When it was released in Europe, I had just started my University studies. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the Dreamcast back then, because a laptop for all kinds of scientific- and homework had priority. And when I finally could've afforded the Dreamcast a year later, the system was already close to dead in Europe, so I went to buy the brand new PS2 instead, which was also a good decision, and which I still own today.
One of the illest consoles ever. It's hard to belive we seriously watched something so awesome die. I blame piracy. Even the later Sega Sports model also had weak protection. Everyone I knew back in the day who had one just burned all of their games and had stacks of 100 games or so. Phantasy Star, HeadHunter, Resident Evil 2,3, Code Veronica, Shenmue 1&2, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Marvel Vs Capcom 1&2, Capcom VS SNK 1&2, Spawn, Sword of the Berzerk, Incoming, UFC, Royal Rumble, AJPW Giant Gram 2000, Jetset Radio, Space Channel 5, Metropolis Street Racer, Tokyo Extreme Racer 1&2, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi 1&2, PowerStone 1&2, StarLancer, Confidential Mission Virtua Cop 2, Daytona USA, Ecco Ferrari F355 Challenge, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter 3TB, Silent Scope, HalfLife, Ikaruga, Dino Crisis, Street Fighter 3, Rival Schools, House of the Dead2, Zombie Revenge, Carrier, Dead or Alive 2, Rez, .......... There are way too many great fucking games on this thing. I seriously wonder what could have been beyond the amazing shit that we did get.
I never played any Dreamcast game and never even touched a Dreamcast before. But seeing that the console still has a huge support by its fans, even to this day, is fascinating to me. I hope Sega is proud with what they did back in the day.
Still have my Dreamcast and play it regularly. Great system with great graphics for its time. I still love playing Jet Grind Radio, Power Stone 1&2, Resident Evil Code Veronica and the Sonic Games.
I remember borrowing a Dreamcast from my friend as a kid with the Demo Disc for Sonic Adventure on it. It was the only console that pulled me away from my SNES. Then followed games like Shenmue, what a fantastic little console!
Releasing this on 9-9-2019? You glorious bastard.
of course. it had to be done
@@ModernVintageGamer (in my Shao Kahn's voice) *"Well Done"*
Very well played! Haven't noticed any other significant DC video coming out today...^^
Well, yeah, that is a 20 years... Derper.
It just happened to be Monday
Smash Pack was also released on the same day Sega announced they were dropping out of the console business. Makes that hidden message all the more poetic.
If only we got more of that exact thing. Oh, wait.
Utopia, Echelon, Kalisto...
So many memories. Shoutout to those that seeded my Atari 2600 DC distros back in the day 😂

I hate you so much LGR. I dont even know what it is I just wish I could run into you in the real world.

Dreamcast is still one of my favourite systems of all time. Excellent video!

they have private servers for it if you use a dreampi

It stills being an amazing experience
Phantasy star was my first online game... blew my mind!
Saved my life. Great outlet for my lonely teenage self.
Happy birthday Dreamcast. Sadly, I never had one but I want to change that at some point
download redream and get a mayflash adapter

@@JamesKnox Nah, I want the real thing
@@Skinnix the graphics on there look even better than the real thing
if you get a dreamcast, i reccomend to get one made before 2000 so you can run homebrew and shit on burnt cds!
20 years? Time flies when you're playing Dreamcast.
It's like a dream :)
@@187StaticMr
Cast. Dreamcast.
Now it's 25 years later.
I'll never forget summer 2000 when we got a Dreamcast and the Pikachu Nintendo 64 in the same day. I'm still thinking. 😊
I love how much love the Dreamcast is getting today. I am playing only the Dreamcast today to celebrate this occasion.
i still have my orignal console i bought back in 1999 i still play it often ..
damn i don't have one though my favorite tho is sonic adventure 2
i never sell on my consoles i still have my original ps1 and sega megadrive also as well as the ps2 ps3 wii wii u and all that .... its good to look back every now and then .you should try and get a dreamcast there's a load of great games you can just download and burn onto cd if you have the older model of course i think it was patched on later models .
Same here, still have my original japanese DC, and my vga box still functional ... Awsome console
Me too, also turns out a lot of my games are worth quite a bit too, needs a restore back to white though.
@@ColonelBreezo lol @ the idea of a 5 year old selling a console on eBay. You are so full of shit
you should do more scene/homebrew history videos, maybe do a series like LGR's Tech Tales

I still hold the belief that Sega Dreamcast had the best launch day game wise of all time.
I agree.
Too many racing games. Genesis and PS2 had more variety.
@@Clay3613 they had better games... Dreamcast is a great arcade / sport / online console for it's time though.
Easily!
For me that would be the Nintendo 64, the original Xbox or the Nintendo Switch

I used to burn games with Nero, standard cd’s worked fine
I started burning games for dreamcast back in 2006 when I already played dreamcast games on the emulator chankast.
Pretty sure the difference between mil and regular CD's is in the formatting not the disc itself so regular CD-R's and CD-RWs should probably work fine (maybe, there actually is a difference between -R, -RW, +R, and +RW but most disc drives can at least read all 4 formats without issue).

Had EXACTLY the same monitor and dreamcast of course, connected via RGB cable. Wonderful time.
Wow 20 years. Thank you MVG!
Great vid! Time to dust off the old Dreamcast!
Really love your SEGA vids. The Dreamcast is the last and greatest home arcade to this day.

My favorite console of all time! Although I got it 10 years after it released when I was 14, it really kickstarted my obsession with retro tech and collecting. This little white box changed my life...literally.
Dreamcast is lovely. I bought one too back then and it still works. It launched in 1998 in Japan, during prime time of N64 and PS1.
It were a huge leap from those to DC.
Saturn also had arcade perfect ports :) Thank you for another great episode!
Love my Saturn, but it couldn't quite give us arcade perfect ports. House of the dead and Daytona USA suffered mightingly on Saturn.
I have my Dreamcast front and center in the my game room. Still have the box on display as well. Long live the Dreamcast!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DC!🎉🎁🎈
@11:30 if you power on the DC 1st, then your monitor after, it should balance out the image. using Akura? Gekko? Pound? VGA? If you power on the monitor 1st, then the DC, it will always put the image to one side.
I love your videos. long time listener, (on my main channel) 1st time caller. 😊
Ahhh... Utopia... Echelon... that brings me back. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years! Still have & love my DC.
You make some of the most interesting videos on YT.
The Dreamcast realy is the largest step forward in gaming. It is still incredible. If it came with a built in hard drive, it might have had its own version of XBMC.
Happy birthday Dreamcast! When it was released in Europe, I had just started my University studies. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the Dreamcast back then, because a laptop for all kinds of scientific- and homework had priority. And when I finally could've afforded the Dreamcast a year later, the system was already close to dead in Europe, so I went to buy the brand new PS2 instead, which was also a good decision, and which I still own today.
One of the illest consoles ever. It's hard to belive we seriously watched something so awesome die. I blame piracy. Even the later Sega Sports model also had weak protection. Everyone I knew back in the day who had one just burned all of their games and had stacks of 100 games or so.
Phantasy Star, HeadHunter, Resident Evil 2,3, Code Veronica, Shenmue 1&2, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Marvel Vs Capcom 1&2, Capcom VS SNK 1&2, Spawn, Sword of the Berzerk, Incoming, UFC, Royal Rumble, AJPW Giant Gram 2000, Jetset Radio, Space Channel 5, Metropolis Street Racer, Tokyo Extreme Racer 1&2, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi 1&2, PowerStone 1&2, StarLancer, Confidential Mission Virtua Cop 2, Daytona USA, Ecco Ferrari F355 Challenge, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter 3TB, Silent Scope, HalfLife, Ikaruga, Dino Crisis, Street Fighter 3, Rival Schools, House of the Dead2, Zombie Revenge, Carrier, Dead or Alive 2, Rez, ..........
There are way too many great fucking games on this thing. I seriously wonder what could have been beyond the amazing shit that we did get.
I never played any Dreamcast game and never even touched a Dreamcast before. But seeing that the console still has a huge support by its fans, even to this day, is fascinating to me. I hope Sega is proud with what they did back in the day.
I really enjoy the video thank you I have been really busy and I didn't even remember that today was the day the dreamcast was released 20 years ago
Still have my Dreamcast and play it regularly. Great system with great graphics for its time. I still love playing Jet Grind Radio, Power Stone 1&2, Resident Evil Code Veronica and the Sonic Games.
Nice video.
Btw, 870 MB CD-R already existed back then. They were expensive but existed.
I had bought a couple to burn some Dreamcast games.
870 MB? Never seen one of those. Even today, the maximum commercially available is 700 MB. Do you have any pictures of videos of such discs?
I remember borrowing a Dreamcast from my friend as a kid with the Demo Disc for Sonic Adventure on it. It was the only console that pulled me away from my SNES. Then followed games like Shenmue, what a fantastic little console!
