DC Mod Chip
NCS will offer a tested, stable, and very reliable Dreamcast mod chip in the
next two weeks. This newer chip diverges from the dual bios tactic that we explored a
couple of months ago and was subsequently found wanting. Pricing for the installation of
the newer chip is estimated at US$55-$60 and any Asian, American, or Japanese DC may be
upgraded for full compatibility with every game that we have tested in our DC software
library, which is everything released thus far in Japan and America. This includes
Shenmue. Due to the installation of the chip, Dreamcast owners will have to relinquish
possession of their consoles for a few days and ship their units in for NCS to work the
chip into the console. Those who would prefer to install the chip themselves may purchase
kits but NCS will take no responsibility for any damage that you may inflict on the unit.
More details soon. |

New Console
Every once in a while, new consoles hit the market and evolve the gaming
landscape another notch. The Playstation 2 release date of March 04 is rushing upon us and
it'll be ready to ship soon. NCS is now accepting pre-orders for the PS2 but please note
that pricing is still unknown at this point. Initial supplies of the PS2 appear to be
abundant which should mean pricing parity with the Japanese street
retail. We're just not confident enough to think that no exigent circumstances or
distribution arrangements will skew pricing to the levels that are normally associated
with new console debuits. We shall see what unfolds. In the meanwhile, if you are
interested in being added to the NCS PS2 Pre-order schedule, please send a message with
the header "PS2 Pre-Order" and the following information by
e-mail to our main account at ncs@escape.com:
|
| Your full name |
| Your complete address |
| A daytime telephone number |
| NCS only requires your
telephone number as an alternative means of contacting you outside of regular e-mail if
necessary. All information is kept private and within the confines of our company. We will
post additional details, pricing, game availability in the next couple of weeks. Customers
who submit their pre-orders will also be added to our mailing list for PS2 information and
all updates. Thanks. |
