Sega Saturn was unfavorable in the competition with Sony's PS, so Sega sold DC as a next-generation game machine product to compete with Sony. The biggest feature of Dreamcast is that it is the first home game machine with a modem, through which players can play real online battles through the Internet.
its media is dedicated "GD-ROM". It is the same size as an ordinary CD-ROM, but it can store up to 1 GB of data. Later, the cracked organization found that it was only a high-density CD-ROM, and finally it was cracked to protect it from copying, so that a large number of pirated games flooded the market.
Dreamcast (DC for short, original code name is Demon Knife) is a game machine released by Sega Corporation of Japan on November 27th, 1998. The name "Dream Broadcast" means "dream broadcast".

OS (operating system): Microsoft WINDOWS CE 2. (Windows CE is a special operating system for handheld computers, and this Windows CE is dedicated to DREAMCAST. Because you can access the INTERNET, you will also have a browser. I heard that it is an improved version of IE4) The following host is DREAMCAST, which can be opened to it with four handhelds like N64. Is there a little SATURN in everything? And all the hosts didn't see the 'SEGA' trademark, so they had to put it up when it was officially released? Because the configuration of the host is very close to the popular personal computer now, its interchangeability with personal computers will be high and the transplanting speed will be fast in the future. Moreover, with its super-strong function, some problems (such as slow disc reading, poor 3D function, serious grid skipping, etc.) of playing the next generation computer can be greatly improved.
unfortunately, it failed to beat Sony's PlayStation 2 in the end, which indirectly led to Sega's complete withdrawal from the home game console market, making Dreamcast the last console of Sega.
