    Terraonion MODE

    Posted by Dan B on Jan 20th 2022

    All-around amazing! Easy shopping and quick standard shipping to Chicago! The MODE definitely justifies the hype, especially with SSD! Simply format drive as FAT32/Master Boot Record or ExFAT/GUID Partition Table, then create folder for Dreamcast, Saturn or Playstation. Been an absolute blast playing Dreamcast games perfectly compatible with Sega BIOS and soft reset as well as the great MODE menu. Tremendously improves load time on games such as Shenmue, Headhunter, Phantasy Star Online, D2, Chronicles of Pern, Evil Twin, etc. Great FAQ wiki links below:

    Great High Quality ODE for Saturn or Dreamcast

    Posted by Reviewer on Jan 19th 2022

    The MODE is super high quality and super simple to install. The support and features offered are unbeatable. The price of this is well worth the premium. Highly recommend for the Dreamcast.

    Out of the Gates Awesomeness

    Posted by Jason S on Jan 17th 2022

    There are cheaper, there are more expensive options, and then there are correct for you options. Based on all of the options and Terraonions history of great products, it was a no brainer to choose Mode for my needs.

    The install is a fun challenge. As far as consoles go, the Saturn i had(white shell, gray power buttons), this one is easy to disassemble. Only mistake I made was i had the 21 pin cable flipped over. Quick fix.

    Software side is easy, follow the instructions for register, get your backups squared, bios right? Boom it works.

    Most of the people who want this probably are 34-47 years old. Prime 90s kids, teens and young adults. None of the people in this age group have the time to fiddle around:

    Pretty healthy 2 hour install or pay the awesome guys at Stone age Gamer to do it. Grab a crt from a thrift store and dive into a crazy world: mid to late 90's polygon everything!

    I plan on getting another Mode for a dreamcast and just buying a premodded PSX from these guys. Super awesome and helpful people on the phone. Not a robot in a sorting factory, who just sends you a prepackaged box.

    Terraonion MODE

    Posted by Stephen Strakos on Jan 3rd 2022

    Awesome alternative that's almost plug and play. Definitely easier to configure than other ODE's at the software level as well. These are so great I've bought one for both my Dreamcast and Saturn. Both work flawlessly in each system. Overall install on the Saturn was more complicated versus the Dreamcast, but still easy for the most part. I'm not thinking about giving my PSX the same treatment with this ODE. Highly recommend this ODE as the quality of product and support is top notch.

    Great Product!

    Posted by Jonathan on Jan 2nd 2022

    This thing is amazing! The installation is very easy, and does not take long at all. The user interface is very user friendly, and easy to use for sure. Updating the firmware is also easy as well. The only bad thing is having to take the system apart to get to the hard drive, usb, or sd card. All in all, that is not a big deal and should not prevent anybody from buying this.

    Easy to use

    Posted by Anthony on Dec 26th 2021

    I had heard of the Dreamcast when it came out but I never had one growing up. After hearing about it from other people my desire to get one increased and one day I finally bought one. The Terraonion Mode is the best ODE option for the Dreamcast hands down. Its easy enough to install and to use it is dead simple. I've been very happy with my purchase and I cannot wait to get a Terraonion Mode for my Saturn.

    Don't think, just buy!

    Posted by Nico Farhat on Dec 19th 2021

    I got 2 of these, one for the Saturn and one for the Dreamcast. This has given both systems new life. My DC's laser died and it would have costed me an arm and a leg to get a new one, now i can play MVC 2 until the wee hours of the night, just like when i was a kid! Easy to install(Saturn is a little finicky, but easy enough). Do your self a favor, and buy it. Way better than the GDEmu

    Incredible device!

    Posted by Cory on Dec 17th 2021

    Just a fantastic board! A perfect solution to the half-dead disc drive in my Dreamcast. Not only is the system much quieter now, but the games load faster, and is has a great UI and a ton of options to customize.

    One small issue, the included sticky pads don't quite fit right in a VA0 Dreamcast because of the heatsink that is in the way. So I would recommend getting a 3d printed bracket.

    Other than that I really have no issues at all. This is my first Terraonion product, but definitely not my last!
