    VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
    I'm coming back! And In this installment, I take a beaten and battered Dreamcast and transform it into a true article of beauty. I service the power supply, perform a never-before-seen battery modification, as well as install the illustrious DCHDMI to achieve truly digital, 1080p HDMI output.
    Special thanks to all of my friends who took part in my comeback to UA-cam!
