still play on my dreamcast although the battery in my vmu went years ago so i can't play with my chaos' anymore. still love playing powerstone, soul calibur and the legendary marvel vs capcom, the dreamcast was probably the last time i ever enjoyed fighting games other than the smash franchise. i really feel like playing grandia again now although i'll probably give up on that mayor who eats all the villagers, he was mega solid for an earlyish boss.

The dreamcast VMU uses 2 CR 2032 watch batteries, they aren't too expenisve, I got them for like $1.50 a piece, so get that memory card up and workin dude.

Dreamcast is one of my favorite consoles. It had one of the best games.

Great Thread.

For SF, I like the SNES controller, then any generation PS controller.

Any controller that has a webbed d-pad is just un-useable for fighting games for me.

Im completely the opposite. I don't do very well with snes pad and PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP(until the new slim one which is good) are the worst D-pads ever made for fighting games for me... :)

I wouldve got one if I was a hardcore gamer back then.

The controller is terrible though. worse than the xbox

Depends what you were playing. It didnt work for FPS games very well. Otherwise for platformers, sports and fighting games it work great. If I have to play any Street Fighter my first controller choice is the Saturn pad...and the second is dreamcast.

For me, my hatred of the controller stems from purely ergonomic reasons. I have pretty large hands and I couldn't play the console for more than two hours before my wrists started cramping up. The wrist angles on that thing were brutal.

All my friends who had smaller hands thought it was fine while my roommate, who also had larger hands, absolutely loathed the thing. Our knuckles would rub on that virtual thingie/memory card slot in the middle, too (or maybe that's where the rumble pack was, can't rightly remember).

Still, I played the shit out of that thing. I was in love with Ecco the Dolphin, one of the more bizarre games that never got much love from mainstream gamers. Jet Set Radio was great, too.

Damn it, I miss the old Sega. They were the kings of off-the-wall games.

I've tried, hard, to get used to the webbing, but I just can't.

I played CVS2 for hours on an xbox controller, and could never hack it, I could only pull off a shoryuken 70%, vs. 100% on a PS controller.

I think I just got used to the non webbed pad playing SFII for hours on my SNES when I was about 10.

We'll miss you George.
