Dreamcast Keyboard and Tremor Pak.

Post by Falco Girgis »

While cleaning Rhino out today with Anarki, I picked up two VERY respectable peripherals for my Sega Dreamcast.

The first is the TremorPak. Yes, like the heathenish N64 the DC has to have an external pak. Before you start bitching, I have to tell you. This is the most respectable rumble pack in the world. Takes absolutely no batteries and it has 100 different combinations of angles, intensities, etc. to vibrate. Even the new Dualshock 2 controllers for the PS2 can't compare to this. A vibrating masterpeice.

The second one, I almost shit my drawers over. I've never seen one in my life. Their rarity is only matched by their usefulness. That's right, I got a dreamcast keyboard! I can do anything from play games and junk, to surf the web. The main reason I bought it is because they are DAMN useful for Dreamcast programming. God, I'm so happy. It looks brand new and is SO respectable. It works perfectly. I can't wait to code somethng compatable with it.

So, whaddya think about my haul? :mario?:

Nice haul SS :shock:
You bought them? I thought you were going dumpster diving. I never knew dreamcast had those stuff. Now I really know that dreamcast was ahead of its time.

It probably has soooo many buttons that he can make a de-bug mode with it.

I've heard they type... really slowly.
"...I need to demonstrate something I've
noticed wih the DreamCast. It is very slow to
respond. And it drops letters when I type fast.
Or slow. Seems as if it was designed for a very
slow typist. I've been correcting every sentence
in this entry, but I'll type one as I normally
would, so as to present an idea as to how bad the
problem is.

And hereistha sentence. Oractualymore tan onb
sentene. I'llkep typing fo awhil now. Iwonder if
his even decphrable. I an bael rea it. You se,
though? Thi sqit te itch to corect, n i have

The use? Anything. Surf the net, programming, debug modes, etc. The keyboard doesn't type slowly either. I have about 5 friends who all type faster than me and have never had a problem with the keyboard.
