Working closely with Midway Games (which developed four North American launch games for the system) and taking advantage of the ten months following the Dreamcast's release in Japan, Sega of America worked to ensure a more successful US launch with a minimum of 15 launch games. [57] With lingering bitterness over the Saturn's early release, Stolar repaired relations with major US retailers, with whom Sega presold 300,000 Dreamcast units. [30] In addition, a pre-launch promotion enabled consumers to rent Dreamcasts from Hollywood Video in the months preceding its September launch. [58] Sega of America's senior vice president of marketing Peter Moore, [59] a fan of the attitude previously associated with Sega's brand, worked with Foote, Cone & Belding and Access Communications to develop the "It's Thinking" campaign of 15-second television commercials, which emphasized the Dreamcast's hardware power. [30] [58] [60] According to Moore, "We needed to create something that would really intrigue consumers, somewhat apologize for the past, but invoke[ sic] all the things we loved about Sega, primarily from the Genesis days." [30] On August 11, Sega of America confirmed that Stolar had been fired, leaving Moore to direct the launch.

Many argue it is fine for the type of games on it. I disagree. Trying to walk around in Shenmue is a total disaster. It didn’t control especially well on release due to mapping movement to the digital pad, but it’s even worse when using the same thumb to manipulate the camera too!

If foo is a multiple-disc game, you should have .chd/cue/cdi/gdi files for each one, e.g. foo (Disc 1).chd, foo (Disc 2).chd, foo (Disc 3).chd. Audio is choppy and not great, and degrades the longer the emulator is in use. Restarting the emulator (and ultimately the Pi) may become a good idea after a couple hours of gameplay. There is a memory leak somewhere in the Reicast code. Low screen resolution are recommended to get best performance. Performance greatly suffers if HD resolutions are used. On occasion, these VMUs do not get formatted quite right during creation, and the Dreamcast can't save or load data from them. They just need to be reformatted -- run the SYSTEMMANAGER entry in the EmulationStation Dreamcast menu and / or see this post for details. lr-flycast Factor in another important issue too - multi-format games. The Dreamcast was at an immediate disadvantage with its rivals because games like Quake simply don’t work as well without dual analogue. Of course a mouse and keyboard is best here but that is extra expense.The adapter lets the player use a huge variety of controllers with the Dreamcast. There’s support for both PS1 & PS2 controllers, including vibration support, as well as MegaDrive & Saturn pads, too. PS/2 mice and keyboards can be used as well, and up to 16 VMUs can be hooked up as well. The adapter uses the STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller, which runs at up to 72MHz, giving it plenty of grunt to emulate the Dreamcast’s Maple controller interface.
