Oh nostalgia ! I wish I had kept mine, sold it before moving out of Canada along with the rest of my "treasures". This console will forever be my favorite and Shenmue with JGR as the games I consider pure magic. Long live DC!!!! It's STILL thinking... ✌️

I had to check back at my Dreamcast post....wanted to confirm you had this one too! What a console! The emulators sort of work for it.

The original Xbox was essentially a PC with a Celeron processor. Not at all related to the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast was one of my favorite consoles and the only Sega console I got when it was new (I didn't have a Genesis or Saturn until after the Dreamcast).

Yeah, Windows CE would run on the Dreamcast but I'm not sure how many games made use of it. I don't think any of the launch titles made any use of it but beyond that I'm not sure. I found a list (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/threads/43804-WinCE-games-List) of Windows CE games for the Dreamcast...not sure how accurate or complete it is...
