He did his business with it, repacked it equally as well, and it made it back to me. I packed the heck out of the device and shipped it off. But I knew that if I were to make an overall review on it, I had to trust Jan would deliver the goods. These were all legitimate fears that I had.
It sounded daunting at first, was I really ready to let my Dreamcast go missing? Would the guy simply keep the device? What if it all worked out and then arrived back, but was broken. The only impractical thing about all of this is the fact that I had to send my Dreamcast to Austria. Not only that, you can buy ever faster versions of Compact Flash memory cards so that in theory, should speed up the games loading times! I also get an added benefit which is the sheer speed of the Compact Flash over that of the SD Card. And I get the solid-state aspect like the SD card mod that is out there. Sure, I ran the risk of paying potentially more for a memory card, but definitely not more money than what I paid for a 64GB memory card for my Vita. So why the Compact Flash mod then? Well because, just as the section is titled, it was far more practical. The same holds true with the USBGDROM modification. So the SD card idea was out the window too (yes I’m aware the IDE also would’ve lost the disc drive). The SD card mod looked pretty good until I saw that basically, for whatever reason, you have to gut the disc drive out of the system. I felt like having to wait for a disc to spin up or slow down was inefficient, so I skipped out on the IDE drive mod. I wanted a mod that was quick to load games.
Why wouldn’t I just want to mod my system with an IDE hard drive,USBGDROM or an SD card? Well, these are questions that are actually all too easy to answer.
Only certain DSLR cameras really use the media anymore and they’re usually expensive. I’ve already had plenty of people question me as to why I would want a Compact Flash modification done to my Dreamcast. He gladly worked with me and now I have the Dreamcast back in my hands, reviewed, and ready to share my experiences with you! So I reached out to the Austrian modder extraordinaire who made ‘The Dreamcast Junkyard’s mod possible to see what it was all about. For the first time you could load (legally obtained) backups from a memory card without removing the disc drive and ugliness. I saw a video on the channel ‘The Dreamcast Junkyard’ and I was blown away. I was recently swooned by my Dreamcast (again) and was looking to see what mods were out in the wild in 2017. Recently, I came across a video about the mod that I’ll be reviewing while on YouTube.
