Dreamcast VA0 refurbishment and modding

VA0 #Sega #Dreamcast PSU recap, controller PCB modded with resettable fuse and also, resistor+diode for non-rechargeable CR2032 battery. Optical drive sled and gears lubed. Ready for some shooting in Ikaruga while I ponder future mods. #RETROGAMING

#Dreamcast maintenance continuation. With the PSU done it was now time to move on to a full recap of motherboard and optical drive PCBs. Additionally, the shell went in for some #retrobrighting too. #Sega #RETROGAMING

Here we can see the spa treatment facility. 😂 In the last two photos, the finished product.

To cap it off some test play of #SoulCalibur.

There we go, NTSC-J VA0 #Sega #Dreamcast modded to be compatible with the GDEMU. Testing with some #DOA 2.

GDEMU resistor mod to address excess heat from 12V line. Courtesy of the folks at the delta-island forum. Testing it out with some Jet Set Radio. 🛼 #RETROGAMING #Dreamcast #jetsetradio
