People are saying this console didn't sell well & all this other hoopla, the Dreamcast did phenomenal in its prime, it just lucked out to the PS2 when it launched in 2000.
This isn't entirely true. What happened was Action Replay, a cheat device that was popular on cartridge based systems, released a demo disc as a free item with the purchase of a particular issue of a particular video game magazine. In order for a user to be able to enter cheats the disc hijacked the bootloader. But it didn't reinject the bootloader during loading the game, and so it didn't check that the disc swapped to after loading the cheat disc was an official disc. So people were able to burn specially modified discs (since the Dreamcast GDI discs used a spiral track rather than tracks shaped as multiple concentric circles where the outer rings had more space between the pits and grooves they were able to fit about 1GB of data on each disc rather than the 600MB to 700MB of common CD-ROMs, but this meant that you couldn't make duplications of GDIs on a PC CD-R burner since the track list would have the data in the wrong sectors, so GDIs copied to CD-Rs needed their track listing table to be altered) and just put those in after loading the Action Replay disc without entering any cheats. This also allowed users to play discs from other regions, as long as there wasn't some special BIOS function needed for the game to function.
i played this console for the first time ever earlier. while i didnt get to play it long, i cant stop thinking about it. the cute startup, the sound effects, the dancing 3d icons, everything. the icons remind me of clay in a way. love this console so much
We need to start prefreaceing that with best Nostalgic console because it doesn't have as many features as modern consoles and when you tell everyone it's the best thing ever people willraise their eyebrows at you
1:56 huh. I've owned a Dreamcast for several years and didn't know it was SUPPOSED to stay at the menu after inserting a disc. For some reason, my original system would just immediately run the game. I got a new system from eBay and nearly had a heart attack when it did this 😂.
This menu appears when you boot the system without a disc loaded or the lid is open (or if your lid detection switch is malfunctioning). This is where you set the datetime and can format the VMUs or copy files. This isn't a secret menu. The system you got had the BIOS set to not automatically load a disc when the system is turned on.
There actually is an alternate menu, but you need a VMU with a Puyo Puyo Fever savegame on it. You just press start and you get a 3D "liquid" menu variant that allows you to rotate it on a 3 axes.
Really I picked one up on Amazon for 70-something dollars Though it didn't come with a vmu and I had to buy two but those go for pretty cheap if u look in the right place
guitarjd21 I agree! If only the Dreamcast sold much better units, it would've lasted much longer like the PS2 did. We also could've even had the Dreamcast 2 as well as Shenmue 3 back then (if only both of these games sold much better and are not even expensive, and we also could've had the Dreamcast and maybe PS2, GameCube, and PC versions of Shenmue 2 released in the US).
So, I have a plugin for Discord that changes the sounds, right. So, I changed them to Dreamcast BIOS sounds a long time ago, and I somehow forgot about that when I started playing this video. So, I accidentally gave myself a little mini-anxiety attack when you started moving through the menu lol
This is easily the most aesthetically pleasing system I’ve seen
I like ur pfp
I agree, that menu has chill vibes
Gamecube aesthetic was crazy too
And PS2
Wii U *crying in the corner*
The dancing clock, music note, portable console and controller gave me lots of nostalgia
Portable console?
@@JenFromWebsite He was talking about the VMU.
i love the sound effects so classic and unique

Neo saw the XBOX system menu when he finally realized his power.

@@mjverostek1278 My dad says that digital piracy is no being deal but clearly he didn't pay attention to this thing
I never had a Dreamcast and am younger than the console, but somehow this brings me nostalgic and feel aesthetic vibes
Same!
Same.
Same
This was my first console. I remember getting this for Christmas back in 2000. Ahh, good memories.
Oh wow a bit too late until the consoles lifespan there buddy.
@@LonelyDiggers it did release in 1999 (late 1998 in some countries i believe), so it was both early and late
God i live for this aesthetic
The little clock aka settings is pretty cute ⏰
Looks like a toy clock (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧
I wonder if someone could set the year as far back as 1900 or forward to 2099, to possibly roll over to 2100?
⏰(•⊙ω⊙•)⏰
Dreamcast is the embodiment of vaporwave aesthetic.
Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube had the best menus of that console generation.
Takes me back to Christmas 2000 when I first got the Dreamcast. The menu looks pretty great.
Nostalgia

Why is this menu so peaceful bro 😩
1:31 dancing controller
Hahahah
Hearing the start-up sound and the navigation sounds in the menu again after all these years makes me happy. Really happy. :')
I love the little icons soooo cute
The icons and background are cute but the music gives me the chills...
It's the Sega version of Wii u!
+Magic Anon uh...more like nintendo had their version of the dreamcast. wrong either way, but still.
Well ??? for ya!
Magic Anon what.
At least the Wii U wasn’t their last console!
@@aso8782 I would call saturn the wii u
Dreamcast is my Favorite console.
The design is so Original, games are Amazing and it's so underrated... Damn you Nintendo !!
i love the noises of the menu
I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO 2008 OR SOME SHIT TO GO PLAY THIS AGAIN WHY IS THIS MAKING ME CRY!
no
One of the best consoles… at the time.
If the thing had a DVD player and a second analog stick Sega would still be making consoles
Patoren 3gou I know right?
1998 console , Not 2019

@@mjverostek1278 too bad I've been unable to find that game
just select "auto start off"
Make the beat with the audible selection
2000's Japan feeling
in an alternate timeline, sega continued to make consoles and is actually the dominate console in 2023 🩷
The John F Kennedy of game consoles.
Died too soon.
So is the PS2 Lee Harvey Oswald?
@@goiabexp Yes.
the legendary Sega Dreamcast beautiful even if it never had I find it wonderful
I'm looking for this console and hard to find on the net
Really I picked one up on Amazon for 70-something dollars
Though it didn't come with a vmu and I had to buy two but those go for pretty cheap if u look in the right place
The Dreamcast launched in japan in that day of 1998 23 years ago! It's 10 years older then me! :O
I love the sound of the DEW DEW
When he selects languages or enters smth
The startup reminds me of the Energizer battery jingle.
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi
So ahead of its time!
If the Dreamcast Naomi was a Revisioned home console
Dreamcast is a best console for ever... And the last of sega...
JDJD 38 they shouldn't have canceled it

JDJD 38 3
Xbox is successor to the Dreamcast
JDJD 38 Sega made so many bad decisions in the 90’s and Sony finally made them leave with their ps2.
Just scrolling through the options and selecting something should be a remix of its own
Actually, IGN put this console as the 8th best console of all time.
This is the European version. Everywhere else, the swirl is red/orange.
I was referencing Doctor who but you're right.
Happy 20th birthday, Dreamcast!!
The sound effects are nostalgia.
I miss when system menus used to have charm like this.
Video game consoles peaked with this and the PS2.
Don't forget GameCube and the first Xbox.
Kevin’s Dreamcast
I've never seen this cool blue logo!
Jamie Lynne Its the European Version. The Japanese have the Orange logo.
Americans have a red logo.
Europeans got the blue logo, while Asia and the Americas got the orange logo.
Sonic Team is a underrated developer.
Well problem is we can’t take them seriously anymore especially after Sonic Forces
R.I.P Dreamcast 1999-2002
Well still worth buying tho
Even though the console was discontinued in late March 2001
Frutiger aero vibes
Uzume represents the Sega Dreamcast.
Dreamy!
Wow 10 years ago epik
does anyone know how much blocks sonic shuffle takes up on the dreamcast memory card?
it’s beautiful
My favorite menu

1:47 The disc drive is a lot more noisy than that.
This console is way better than the Xbox
Yeah Microsoft is trash
eh, each to their own l guess
I already know the menu I still have it
@chaoreturnsforgood76 He's an english person, English people are cool.
how do I like the sound entering and exiting menu items
that is the european version of the console
Very unique
how to synchronize the date and time on the VMU nulldc with the emulator?
I came here because of AGES.
Trekker123eski, You're cool too, I'm and English person, and u said they're cool.
How did you access the internet or dreamcast live from the main menu in the day?
You can load music !?
But Only game disc
You put the CD in and click Play.
It's EU
@chaoreturnsforgood76 I'm from Germany. You know it. It's this silly thing east of Belgium. xD
Dojczlend
Hold the phone can you play CDs on this thing?
How did you remove the swirl from your Dreamcast logo 0:16?
Help! I'm stuck on the part where you put the disc in!
press the button and put it in
Ben Zapolski phew, what a life saver! Thanks a ton!
That was the hardest level of the game
Has anyone ever sampled the menu sfx and made a track with it?
I could probably do that.
How's did you do that on a dreamcast
Does anyone knows that this is the PAL edition?
*Question 1: Did the Sega Dreamcast compete with PlayStation 2 and GameCube?*
A) Yes
B) No
B. But in Russia - is A
Resident Evil Code Veronica
MF this thing plays Music CDs???
This vid is old
the dreamcast wasn't really 128 bit
Ben Zapolski PS2, Xbox, GameCube and Dreamcast all really are 128-bit consoles of the sixth generation
@@jackbollingmoore7554 However, the Dreamcast does not have the full 128-bit capability. In fact, it seems to run 96-bit
this is eu
So you are from Europe? Im guessing that because that is blue startup for EU
