During the past few weeks, neogeostore.com has sold an unusually high number of Dreamcast to Neo Pocket Link Cables. In fact, one person even bought 10 of them. Finally, I asked a customer if he knew why there was suddenly such a demand for them.

Well, it turns out that a modified DC Link Cable along with a voltage converter, a few capacitors, etc., can connect to your PC and enable you to download Dreamcast ROMs and then you can successfully burn them. Thus, you can basically get free Dreamcast games. I have read up on the whole process and it's a major pain in the ass.

Anyway, this may be old news to some of you--but it's new to me, and quite interesting.

Holy Crap! That's the coolest thing I've ever heard (sure it's illegal *AND* immoral, but still damn cool!).

I got my own, but for linking CvsS, MotM, DM99, and R-2.

Amazing. I got the cable for reasons like ZERO.X. I didn't know. Thanks for the info.
