Title: Wanted: Dreamcast lid with ORANGE NTSC swirl
Post by: zilpha on October 09, 2008, 10:41:53 PM

Kinda strange request this one, but its as the title says really. I have a modified PAL DC and want to switch the lid to match the region. So does anyone have a broken NTSC or NTSC-J DC they could salvage one from? Ideally I would like one that hasn't turned yellow. 

I don't wanna pay much (just postage if possible), or I could trade for a PAL lid, oh and I'm in the UK.

Thanks in advance.  8)

lol i was gonna say the shells are the same just get a sticker printed you'll also need to change the bottom stickers and PSU if you want a real Jap DC.

Out of curiosity why?

and have you protected the mod with a switch?

Thanks Generalidea  8)

LOL Yeah I know they are the same shell, but I don't reckon the sticker will come off without damaging it hence me asking for the lid...could be wrong though.

It's purely for effect.....and because I can....no other reason. (a bit pointless really)  :)

The region sticker does't bother me, unless someone has one of those too.  ;D

Yeah I put the switch on.  8)

Hi from the US, I have an extra orange sticker from a dreamcast lid is that what you want? All you have to do is take a small paring knife and put the tip of the knife under the blue swirl logo on the side with the point of knife pushed in under it slowly to just lift the sticker up some. Once you have that done this use your finger nail to pry it off slowly to the left or right. The logo is on plastic that has double sided tape holding it down. I would like a blue swirl top sticker you want to trade? Let me know thanks. I have a clear blue dreamcast and think the blue swirl logo would look great on my system.
