problem with my dreamcast

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

problem with my dreamcast

Post by ganonbanned »

as you may know I was going to start a DCp for a while but never started it. I put the system back together today (it was tooken apart on a shelf) to play it. It works fine, but 1 major problem: theres something wrong with the controller port! None of the controllers work, and they all used to. how do I fix this?

I don't think it's the controllers, I think it's the port.
Did you tinker with it?
open it back up and look at the controller ribbon cable. anything suspicious? If not, trail the pathes of the circuit board to the controller ports and see if anything's broken.
