Gameshark Import Dreamcast Games on your local System

© Ryan Newman

Well, there is good news for all of you importers out there. There is no need for a mod chip or for the swap trick, now that the new Gameshark CDX has been released with the capabilities of playing import games. Simply insert the cd, then after loading, place in the import disc. This should work both ways (ie. US games on import systems), which makes it well worth the MSRP of $59.99. However, mod chips can be outdone and surely this will be also. With luck and a modem, there may be some downloads that may access imports and, thankfully, with the VMU these such files will become available.

This should open up a large avenue of games for all of those who didnt want to open their DC's and void their warranty or because they didn't want to send their units off. There is a long line of goodies coming up soon; the DreamEye - a webcam of sorts for the DC, Cable Adapter - Broadband support for the Dreamcast with the use of an ethernet card, and some other great stuff coming down the line. It's just a shame there can't be more twinsticks or samba maraca's.

Either way, there are some great things coming down the pipe, so keep your eyes peeled for future developments. I'll see everyone in a week!
