I found this link while checking out success hk. it's the same price as their regular treamcast, but the monitor seems larger.

What a waste of money. Not only are Treamcasts poorly built, but with this new one the screen is in widescreen. Which means you can only play certain games with it accuratly. Sure you could play a regular non-widescreen game on it, but it would look like shit. Everything would be all squished.

hey, i've seen these before they were onlt realesed a few months ago i think, ive got to say a treamcast would be sweet but, its more portable than a dreamcast and a tv but its not portable enough to have in your car really.

besides that, it just looks stupid with such a big screen, anyway just got a NAKI VGA box Mr. Green sweet picture! anyway again, i had the problem when i played pso for the first time with it, my char was a midget Laughing i got it sorted out by just keeping the % ration the same, so it cuts the side more than the top or bottom, but IT ROCKS!

p.s.
Just got Quake III arena, gotta say, i love the mouse and keyboard WAY more than controller. Plus, this game ROCKS! hope to fraggin with y'all soon

The main prob with that newer treamcast is: it doesnt own buttons 2 control the screen. The productdiscriptions says it does - but they arent still there. That means you have no control for brightnes or contrast of the screen.

But have a look at the free gift section there..... Razz

yea i wasn't planning on buying it lol, i just thought it was interesting that someone even tried to update the treamcast. who knows, maybe in a couple of years they might even be worth buying. i'm still waiting to get a vga box first tho.

Didn't Sega go after the makers of Treamcast for copyright and patent infringement? I thought Sega won and production of the Treamcast had to stop. Did Sega drop the case or something?
