How can the Dreamcast be considered underrated when so many people are talking about it?
@xianc78 I thought it was overrated by nerds online and this is coming from someone who stood in line hanging out with the boys to get one on midnight 9-9-99 from EBGames. It was an alright homebrew / emu station though.

Except that the homebrew scene can never come close to the official software due to the fact that the homebrew games are running off of MIL-CDs instead of GD-ROMs and most of the games are 2D and could easily run on a Genesis.
Atari, on the other hand, open-sourced the Jaguar and give away the documentation to the system after going 3rd party, which allowed independent developers to unlock it's full potential. The Dreamcast only has a homebrew scene because of Sega's mostly unused karaoke CDs.
@xianc78 @YTFoidLover1488 the reason the games are 2d is they're literally making multiplats with old 2d systems like the Neo Geo or in the case of Pier Solar, literally the Genesis.
You can do low-level 3d with KallistiOS, and it has a PVR API as well. Other than like a few hundred megs less, you can do a shitload with KOS.

@YTFoidLover1488 It would've been better if Sega released GD-ROM burners and gave away the documentation to the Dreamcast after going third-party, but that is something that almost never happens in a Japanese company.
