The Dreamcast Limited Edition thread

Yes, the blue casing is 3rd party remember seeing a lot of them on the internet a few years back. The stickers don't mean much you can easy glue them back on

 

didnt sega make a line of replacement shells (top half) at the end of the dreamcast's life? iv seen a yellow and a red one and im pretty sure iv seen a blue one to

and in that i mean 1st party not the nasty looking 3rd party ones lol

but my DC has a black bottem half with ntsc-u markings and a matching pad hmmmmm?

 

It's an official replacement cover for Dreamcast. However it looks like someone got creative with the power and eject-buttons and replaced them with black ones instead of the grey ones. Probally the person 'making' this used a 'sports edition' Dreamcast for this.

 

I'm pretty sure it's Sports Edition, because the entire bottom part, controller ports and buttons are black, and it's an NTSC-U, so can only be a Sports Edition, unless it's painted of course. But that wouldn't make sense since Sports Editions sell so cheap

 

I'm pretty sure the HK cases didn't have the markings - but the official Sega ones did. It may be an official Sega replacement shell... I can't remember the colours off hand though.

(it may also be that someone removed the original sticker and put it on a HK case as well...) Eitherway, it still looks great

EDIT:: Sorry! I didn't see the posts above (I was on page 3 I think!) and I thought I was at the end of the thread...

(me walks quietly away...)

 

Shit happens;-)

 

makes sense now lol so it still use's proper sega parts ect and modded in away that it looks far rarer to the untrained eye

just waiting on the matching pad for this now (clear blue/black) but now i know its just a very smart looking modded DC and nothing else (tbh it looked alot like the US sonic dreamcast minus sonic logo)

cheers guys :thumbsup:

 

I have all the US colored pads if you're interested
Plus all the US color VMU's, and shitload of JAP controllers and VMU's sa well, everything must go, lost interest

 

very intrested PM' me what you have if you dont mind and we will do from there

 

I used to have an official Black replacement case. It was the top half only and everything was black including the buttons.

I sprayed the bottom half to match and it looked awesome. There used to be a thread about it on this forum but that was long before the purge, maybe some of the older members will remember.

 

cool man really love another color as in red or yellow but my god i carnt find anything about them anywhere and when i find somthing the threads are 3 years + old

thh a black one would be cool also :0

 

What color is the bottom half? Sega sold replacement cases for the DC, sometimes only as a top half though.

Edit: Sorry for the redundancy. It only loaded the first 3 or so comments for me the first time.

 

lol no probs man....its black with NTSC-U stickers ect but heres a odd thing its a REV-0 model MB with heat pipes man this DC is strange!!!! weren't they the first batch of dreamcast's released????

 

I've been trying to track down replacement case for a while now. Does anyone know where to get one, It doesn't matter if it's first or third party I just want one really bad.

 

the 3rd party ones pop up from time to time on ebay but the sega ones are really really really rare

might sell this one soon to put towards a rather nice dreamcast that iv been after foe years now

 

Were there ever official (or unnofficial) solid color cases as opposed to the transparent ones? I'd love a solid black or a solid silver top half for my sports DC...

 

As I mentioned a few posts up. Yes there are, I used to own a black official replacement case.
