at some point "retro" consoles got popular on GameStops website and I invested in a Dreamcast, 3 controllers, and memory cards. it was all under around $80. so god damn worth it since I can just "find" games online for it. I didn't grow up with it but it's definitely been a fun console

You know, I haven't thought about burning CDs for my Dreamcast before. Is it pretty simple these days?

It was easy like 15 years ago, now you just get a expansion card to hook up a usb thumb drive and have the entire catalog on it.

AliExpress has a part that replaces the disc reader. Let's you play games on the console from SD card.

For others without a console, redream works pretty well for most games, even on a fairly old PC.
