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, This WINDOWS CE is dedicated to DREAMCAST. Because it can access the INTERNET, it will also have a browser. I heard that it is an improved version of IE4) The following host is DREAMCAST, and it can be opened to it with four handhelds like N64. Is there a bit of SATURN in any way? 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 this mainframe is very close to that of the popular personal computer, its interchangeability with personal computers will be very high in the future, and the transplanting speed will be very fast. Moreover, with its super-strong functions, some problems of playing the next-generation computer in the past (such as slow disc reading, poor 3D function, serious skipping, etc.) can be greatly improved. < P > Unfortunately, it failed to defeat Sony's PlayStation 2 in the end, which indirectly led Sega to completely withdraw from the home game machine market.
