Dusting Off Dreamcast Linux

I forget what the numbers were, but the Dreamcast needed every single console owner to buy something like 4 controllers each with their own rumble pack and VMU and then about a dozen games.

But then Sega had to go full fucking Sega and the Dreamcast had a fishing controller, a microphone, keyboard, mouse, light gun, and fucking maracas.

Yeah, SEGA gotta SEGA. The fishing controller was great, wasn't it? I still occasionally drag out my old system just to play SEGA Bass Fishing 2 with the rod controller.

I seem to recall every Japanese console of that era having options for fishing, kb/mouse, and shooting. You have a point with maracas, but please never forget the congo drums for the GameCube/Wii and the Guitar Hero controller for literally everything with a video output.
