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.

@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.
