To think just a month or two ago I wanted to cover some Dreamcast peripherals–inspired by the fact that all ours are gradually getting worn out–and I could find next-to-none here. A scenario that likely sounds familiar: the wires in the cord of my official controller have begun to lose contact at the controller end, thus powering off during and corrupting many a VMU save, or just leaving me in a kind of pause-unpause slow-motion as the system repeatedly detects the ‘removed’ control pad. Luckily for cool Dreamcast owners such as ourselves, there’s a nice assortment of replacements here:

So rejoice! Even if your equipment isn’t defective, the site is full of hope if you, like me, still cherish your old systems and want to enjoy them at maximal value. Or maybe you just thought Sega struck gold and made the most comfortable controller ever, and you know that, while the patents are jealously guarded for all time, there are adaptors floating around to use console controllers as USB joypads. I know at least two people in this camp–shout-outs to my Dreamcast homeboys Josh and Paul!
