How it felt to watch this awesome console fail back in the day (lemmy.world)

I had an entire binder of pirated Dreamcast games back when this came out. I can't remember if I actually owned a genuine copy of a game (it was too easy to run pirated game discs).

I have good memories of the console though.

Haha I also had a giant binder full of pirated games. The other thing I remember about it was how loud it was reading the discs

We all had binders of pirated Dreamcast games...

I think I'm starting to see why it died.

Louder on pirated games than official ones IIRC. The laser worked harder to read them.

So did many! It was so easy!
