hey guys, i have a problem. my dreamcast controller ports are shot, and i need to fix it. i tried putting in a new resistor but now my dreamcast won’t even turn on, and if it does it is only for a few seconds. so if anyone has some suggestions please let me know.
buy an used DC?
I remember buying one off ebay for $40 bucks shipped with 2 controllers and some games with 2 VMUs, like 3 years ago.
try soldering a wire from the 2 points of the resistor, should work if not then ebay
I bought just a deck from someone at half.com a few months ago for 25 bucks shipped… God knows - I didn’t need any more controllers…
And I could swear I’ve seen this same topic like a week or two ago…
Sory man, but your DC is toast, i’ve one with the same problem and now i use it for scrap and parts to fix other Dreamcast’s.

^^ Info for fixing the fuse.
But if the DC won’t come on, you’ve got other problems.
