question, I have the dreamconn controller but the generation before the usbc plug is it possible to use the older controller with my Mac operating system and if so do I just download the application software to allow my computer to interact with my dreamconn?

Hi A Team thanks so much for this tutorial. When adding artwork let’s say I have my own custom cover art for games that have preexisting art - let’s say idk DOA2, would I be able to use my own custom artwork over what would be the default choice within the database? Thanks!

Pulirula is the beat 'em up on the FM Towns. Ruruli ra Rura is the weird platform game for PC-FX.

I just noticed the Loopy. If we ever meet, I'm buying you a beer.

I always wanted one of these back in the day.

A version with a second thumbstick is still not planned ?

I’m also Derek

Is there any easy way to add coverart for gdmenu? I have coverart for open menu that was easy. but gdmenu has no art. it seems the only way is to add the art to the gdi itself which is too much work when you have 200+ titles. Is there no BOX.DAT for gdmenu? theres one issue with openmenu i found. when you have you have too many games and you are scrolling there seems to be lag at one point it froze, this is my reason for switching to gdmenu but theres no coverart for it.

Great video. I've got a boxed version in great condition on my ebay watch list. Always wanted one of these since they were first released.

New Derek content! 🎉

I used to have that same VCD player over 20 years ago. Wish I kept it because I still have my Dreamcast. Does that player support VCD menus? Also, would you happen to have any VCD that has closed captions?

Did you ever have a Gotek Floppy Emulator with this console? I have a Gotek but if I want to access the files on it’s SD card, I have to take out the Doc Brown SD card first I have one of those SD extenders, thinking that would work to save wear and tear on the Doc Brown but it doesn’t work with the Gotek, as it doesn’t recognise that the Doc Brown SD card is removed. Was thinking of changing over to “The Thing” instead if I can swap out cards with no issue.

Derek, you rock for this man. happy to have you in the DC scene

Proud owner of a Marty. My CD Rom drive is dodgy, but I hope to get an ODE for it.

you must have $40k invested

I'm sure some of your retro fans love it but man I cannot do that CRT whine the moment I open the video. That's brutal my dude. Felt like a damn dog getting whistled at.

The only thing I know about the FM towns is from famicom dojo when they made fun of it.

I hope someone can reproduce that capcom mega drive controller adapter

Underutilized alligator mascot dude

Found this super informative. I know next to nothing about the FM Towns and this was a much-needed overview. Great video!

Great video! Thanks for creating it and telling us about this super interesting product.

btw any news about fixel?

Thanks for the video. Never seen any about this console

God I love this funky device, I hope I can get my hands on one some day or maybe get my hands on one of those car marties

A consolized x86 machine.. the Xbox owes some royalties to this strange machine

McFly's favorite console? 👀

Terrific video - thanks so much! Now I want a pair of DreamConn S's! =D

Great video👍. I have always be curious about this consolized PC.

So, it’s basically a Japanese Amiga CD32. ;)

Awesome can you do another one of these for that X68000 and PCFX you had there ? interesting to know more about them

So the operation is 1 Game save = 1 VMU ? Not n Game save = 1 VMU, as in original VMU?

Hi Derek, sorry that my question has nothing to do with the FM Towns Marty but I wanted to ask is work still being done on translating CVS2 for Dreamcast?... Also, I play Dreamcast mostly on Emulation so I was wondering if you'd consider looking into modding other Dreamcast games with 60fps patches like Buggy Heat, MSR, and Toy Commander aswell as make patches for games with DLC unlocked such as Dynamite Cop. love your translation work so far, esspecially on my favourite puzzle game of all time:- Hanagumi Taisen Columns 2. I really want to see the original Saturn release get translated too. I know I'm requesting alot but I'd personally donate to this cause if you'd be willing. I once messeged you before about HTC1 if you remember.

I love this console! The holly grail from 32 bit era! And this start up music :)

Can I ask is it easy to switch to open menu from gdemu

I was so close to buying one five years ago. Does it have any protection? Or can you played burned games on it?

Thanks for the video, just converted my card over!

This is such ab obscure console and I love it!!!!...Please make more videos covering this console, there are not very many videos covering this console.

Can you just drag & drop your ROM files like the MODE or do you have to use the GDEMU software that rewrites the entire SD card?

Did you add all this artwork manually? The ones in the dat file are a mixed bag of art/missing art/pal region art.

So it connects to windows but is there anyway to connect to a Mac

*Got to order one of these as soon as they release, its 2nd quarter 2025 for those interested.*

Hey! I recognize that Dreamcast theme Xbox series controller. I'm 99% confident that I sold it to you through Reddit nearly two years ago lol. I recognize every detail and button I used when I made it, such as the raised grey D-pad, the grey 3D-printed home button, etc. At the time, there was no light grey D-Pad for the Xbox series controller, so I transferred the D-Pad from a SCUF Instinct Pro controller. That's why the D-Pad isn't an exact fit in the controller, where it's slightly raised and you can see the green D-pad base behind it. The 3D-printed Dreamcast logo home button was designed for the Xbox One controller. They are slightly shorter in height than the home button in the Xbox series controller, which is why the home button is shorter and not flush with the front faceplate. The same applies for the A and X buttons. I also changed the internal LED for the home button to be red so that the Dreamcast logo lights up red. Funnily enough, I used a cotton ball inside the home button to act as a light guide so that the Dreamcast logo lights up evenly. I personally use the StrikerDC Wireless for my Dreamcast since it's currently the only wireless Dreamcast controller that's affordable. I prefer to use the original controller due to nostalgia, but unfortunately I need wireless for my Dreamcast setup in the living room with a toddler and dog running around. Maybe one day I'll find a second hand Dreamconn for a cheaper price. I'm glad to see you still have the controller and that I sold it to a fellow Dreamcast fan! I'm on PSO if you are.

Thank you for all the FMT translations, we love you and hope to see some more

I love the look of FM Towns and PC-98 and DOS

Maybe it should be: you hold the button for 2-3 seconds to enable scroll mode. Then by pressing the button once it scrolls one line, or hold the button for continuous scroll. Having to release the button at just the right time to select the vmu you want is... Terrible. I've had my VM2 devices for months and still haven't used them. I don't play DC much. I'll have to mess around with these after work.

I just accidently corrupted my SDcard so it's a good as time as any while rebuilding it to finally upgrade to the much nicer openmenu. I also have to say friend, i love your translation projects and have to thank you for the work you've been putting into the dreamcast community :)

How did you get codebreaker working that way? I open code breaker like a game and select what I want. Then I have to press the gdemu reset button the number of times the game is in on the list.
