I have a question for you, how do I get windows
ce for my dreamcast, and what does it do to
improve gamming? Also will the new browser have
java so we can access certain web sites?

Webmaster: The
Dreamcast is running on a modified Windows CE
program. Dreamcast comes with a operating system,
a modified version of Windows CE. Windows CE
makes it easier for the developers to make the
games. Giving developers more time to concetrate
on certain things like better graphics, gameplay,
and so on. The Dreamcast Browser 1.0 and 1.1
already comes with Java. The Java in 1.0 is a
little bit messed up, and you can't access all
the websites, including The Sega Network. 1.1
gives better Java to go to more sites. 2.0 which
will ship with Dreamcast systems from May.
It will come with upgraded Java from 1.1, Flash,
and much more. So, now you can visit every single
site on the net (except for adult sites because
it comes with a Parent control, which I would
consider is a good move by Sega).
My 2 friends and
I have a custom team with 3 custom players that
we use in seasons, the glitch is that once we
quit for the first time, usually after the 2nd
game, and shut down for the night, the next time
we play, all of our created guys revert to the
basic guy, they look exactly the same as the
generic guy, and they suddenly can't tackle
anyone, as though their stats reverted just like
their bodies. I have tried 2 different vmu's but
to the same effect. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for your e-mail! Resetting the system
often solves weird random
errors, but you will have to re-enter your
internet settings. Here is the
reset procedure:
• Power off the Dreamcast system.
• Place the Dreamcast browser disc in the
Dreamcast.
• When the power is off, plug the controller
into 'port B' of the Dreamcast.
• Hold down the X and B buttons on the
controller and turn the Dreamcast on.
• Continue holding the buttons until you see
a white screen with a keyboard in
the background.
• Turn off the system and try your games
now.
Please feel

Hello,
Around 3 months ago I bought a Dreamcast with a
VMU. I have yet to find the way it works. I
understand how to save on it like a normal memory
card, but I want to know how to choose the plays
with it for NFL2K and how to play games on it.
Whenever I want to select a play on NFL2K, I do
not have access to the buttons on the VMU and
when I take it out, it turns off. I don't know
how to turn the thing on when it is NOT in the
controller. Please reply explaining how I do
this.

I too didn't understand how the VMU worked at
first, but you have to play around with the thing
to get to know the VMU. Play with the buttons,
and you'll find new things. When I rented NFL 2K
to review it, I didn't have VMU. So I don't know
how the VMU makes the plays with NFL 2K. If you
want to play games on it, you'll have to download
it first. To download games, you'll have to go on
the net through the Dreamcast, or copy the game
from a friend by connecting it. After downloading
or copying the game, use the mode button and go
to the middle mode. From there, you can play a
game. To turn it on and off, press the sleep
button.
