How did you guys who HAVE versions of Fire Pro D ACTUALLY get them?

I bought mine in a store that sells import games. Yeah, it was expensive, but the low price of the DC offset the cost.

 

Isn't there a DC version of MAME? Is it easy to set up, and does it play games well in 2-player mode?

Is that like an emulator?

Yeah, it's an emulator that lets you play an assload of old arcade and NEO-GEO games on your PC. It's probably a better experience using the DC gamepad rather than a PC keyboard.

I got my copy of FPD from a shop in the worst city in the world, Stoke-on-Trent.

 

For the person who wanted to know where to buy a dreamcast, It doesn't help anyone if you don't give a clue as to where you live.

I could give you the names of 3 shops that sell DCs, but as you probably live in some random US city, there's no point in me telling you!

I have MAME, but I didn't know that you could play DC games with it. I have to think they wouldn't run well with today's computers considering the high graphics, and there isn't even a solid Saturn emulator out.

There's a preliminary DC emu, but I don't think it runs much, or anything well.

No no, I meant that supposedly, there's a port of MAME that can be played on a DC, not an emu that runs DC games. The roms would be way too large!

Like many others I waited until the system was pretty much on its last legs before investing. By that point piracy of DC games was in full swing (and everything was self boot THANK GOD) so acquiring games was a piece of cake. At just under 100 games it's still my favourite system and I don't see a reason to invest in another system when I'll never run out of stuff to play. In fact I just picked up the very last Dreamcast game ever released (just came out in Japan) known as "Ikaruga." It's a blow away amazing top view shooter. Like someone mentioned earlier, if you've got a decent connection and a CD burner then you can go to school on this system. I'll never part with mine.
