I own a Dreamcast (hey, that's retro for me!) console that I would be playing if I had any cables for it. That is, I just own the console, no controllers, memory cards, games or anything. And I've been looking around a lot but I haven't found anything available to buy anywhere. Can you guys help me? Also, I have a Gamecube with just Super Monkey Ball, Mario Kart: Double Dash and The Wind Waker for it. Same problem there, there aren't any games available.

Amazon's merchant sellers should have plenty of used games for the Gamecube; you should also be able to find stuff on eBay though I'm not too fond of that site these days. For the Dreamcast, same deal, plus you might check importers and retro game stores.

If I remember correctly, there is a way to have self-booting Dreamcast ISOs without even need for a modchip. If you, you know, want to go that route. ^^;;

Got my dreamcast, controllers (and VMUs) and the leads from eBay. Didn't even cost me that much so I'd try finding the parts from there. Games are an another matter, they seem to cost too much for their value in eBay and fleamarkets have been a lot more profitable for me.

Thanks, everyone. I'll check eBay and Amazon. Also: Yes, I'm aware of the bootdisk, and I have used it in the past (for my previous Dreamcast).
