    Dreamcast Resource

    After loving my Saturn for so many years I finally picked up a Dreamcast (I know, what took me so long.) Does anyone know of a good resource to read up about it? I'm most interested in booting some imports, figuring out how to play PAL games on my NTSC Dreamcast and television, and building/buying a broadband adapter. Thanks!

    DC X is the best bootdisc for PAL <--> NTSC. I myself have an NTSC DC, but seeing as I live in Europa I still play quite a lot of PAL games(and JPN, but that's a different story =P ) and they all boot perfectly on my NTSC-U console.

    As it's been mentioned, DCX is a great import disc. It also allows you to force games into VGA mode if possible. As for a BBA, expect to pay upwards of $200.
