SD Adapter For Dreamcast Released

YokimaSun writes "The Dreamcast was the last console by Sega that had innovations that today's consoles have taken on board, i.e. broadband online gaming and innovative gaming controllers (such as the fishing controller). The console still lives on today, thanks to the support of the homebrew community that still churns out games and emulators and also the odd commercial release for the console by independent developers. Today the spark has been ignited by the fascinating release of an SD adapter for the Dreamcast that allows homebrew games to be played without the need to burn to disc. It's time to dust off those Dreamcast consoles and get back into free gaming. The same company have also released a Dreamcast modified with VGA support and a front-loading SD slot and its own BIOS. Awesome to relive some of those Dreamcast classics."

    "The Playstation's controller, on the other hand, is a complete, intolerable piece of junk."

    Only if you have tiny woman hands. In the meantime, there's no other controller that works with my hands in such a proper ergonomic fashion.

    Try your assertion when you've got hands that can swallow a basketball. Even the 360 controllers and old XBox controllers were more of a pain on my hands.
