Works well. Installs easy. A good option if you only need to do a couple DC's

This is a well assembled kit of medium-high quality components and is a great option for someone who is upgrading their Dreamcast. If you are upgrading more than 2 Dreamcast systems then save yourself a lot of money and build your own kit on Newark or Mouser instead.
You can skip the ML2032 battery and use a CR2032 with a DO-34 diode to save a couple extra bucks if your are bulk rebuilding systems.

Well worth the money and wonderful upgrade for Dreamcast!

I really like this kit! I wanted to upgrade my dreamcast controller board since it was getting so annoying updating the time everyday due to dead battery. This kit gave me everything I needed to update my controller board. This was my first time soldering and I watched a “how to” video and just installed the kit along with the video. The led is bright and I love how it is multicolor rgb. The parts are good quality and with around 25 hours of playtime I have had no issues.

Good kit

I got the kit mainly for the battery holder and fuse. The RGB LED is a cool bonus, though it doesn’t do orange, which is a shame given orange was the stock Dreamcast LED color.

All you need is a battery.

 If you have a soldering iron and about 15-30 minutes you can improve the look, functionality and reliability of your Dreamcast. The color changing LED is a nice touch.

Everything I needed to get the job done!

I love the fact that all the parts I needed came together in this bundle! My husband was able to switch out all the parts in under 30 mins! I didn’t read what color the LED light was and I was so surprised (and very happy) to see the colors rotated between RGB!!!

Works great

Replaced the battery with the supplied holder, the fuse with the resettable one and the capacitor all in about 10 minutes. My DC booted as expected with no issues. Purchased the ML2032 Rechargeable Battery on Amazon as well.

Question & Answer



Question :

What color is the LED and is there any point in replacing it if the existing one works?

Answer :

The one Got was orange it came with an extra and mine was still working so whenever it does go out I’ll replace it so it’s a good measure to keep!
