Recently Ive been interested in the idea of owning my own treamcast, but since sega declared them illegal, i said what the fuck, ill make my own, so i found some compatible screens that work with the dreamcast

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051826176105&skuId=5393184&type=product

but how the heck can i make the dreamcast play VCD's and MP3's like the treamcast? and add in a remote?

Edit:after further research ie found out that u can purchase a remote and do the followiing Very Happy

The remote would be the hardest thing to do because it was added internaly I know you can get a vcd remote and player cd at some importers for a normal Dreamcast. Over all I think its worth it, like a GB SP but million times better. So what Sega said it was legal, not like you would get sued or anything.

Nice idea, and the good thing it's not all that complicated. Just the cost for this stuff had get a little out of hand. I knew a website that sold VCD screens that can work with DC it's been long lost now however Sad, I have forgotten it. If I ever find it again I'll let you know, it was a candian site.

Yea this is a pretty feasable project. It might get pretty costly though. The cool thing is you can purchase almost every spare part for the DC from various game shops online.
