    Dreamcast builder

    Posted by Totally amazing even in 2023 on Mar 28th 2023

    This is the best way to get your Dreamcast up and working if the GD rom disk is experiencing issues with reading the game disc. It makes me think twice about spending all that money on EBay on used Dreamcast games. The emulation is near prefect can’t believe this product exist using the same hardware to emulate the game is the best way to go. I played a bunch of games and it was totally similar experience to playing with the actual disk. I bought a Saturn with the mode. Don’t forget to get SSD adapter it will make loading in new games with ease. Thank you Stone Age Gamer for custom building me the ultimate Dreamcast.

    Satisfied Customer

    Posted by Christopher J Hyman on Nov 14th 2022

    This review is for the Dreamcast Builder service since I couldn't write a review for the builder section I'll leave it here. I sent in my DC. I went with new shell, label, and light, new capacitors, battery and controller fuse mod, new fan, and the MODE. Everything was done professionally no marks no rattling or missing screws. Well worth the price for their services. Highly recommend.

    Outstanding service.

    Posted by Nick F. on Feb 17th 2022

    Getting this ODE installed is a fantastic service if you're not too comfortable with disassembling your console, or if you just want some extra bells-and-whistles. I had mentioned that a few screws were missing on my Saturn, and they had replacements ready to go. The cleaning service made the console look brand-new, and the FRAM installation is helpful as well. A great service and a fantastic product.

    PS1 mode installation bundle

    Posted by Mike C. on Nov 13th 2021

    This process was very easy and professionally handled by Stone Age Gamer. They actively communicated with me when to send my PS1 to them for service, and the turnaround time was quick, within 2 days. Well worth it for the exceptional service they provide. If you are not comfortable removing CPU pins, these guys can.
    5 Stars all around.

    Outstanding Service

    Posted by Pejman Roozbeh on Oct 18th 2021

    I sent in my Sega Saturn to get TerraOnion Mode professionally installed with my Mode purchase and I am very happy with both the product and how quickly it was worked on and shipped back to me. Not only that, but the crew here at StoneAge Gamer has been exceedingly helpful and communicative throughout the process. They were very patient and informative in answering my questions and additional requests as I prepared sending in my console. They even helped me customize another pre-modded console purchase while helping me with this separate service. I always felt very well taken care of throughout the entire process and will more than gladly return to StoneAge Gamer for more of my retrogaming needs! 7 out of 5 stars :D

    Great Service and an amazing mod

    Posted by Adam Pierce on Jul 25th 2021

    So for the last few years I have avoided playing my Saturn out of a fear of damaging the disc's I have accumulated over the years. Luckily for me, the guys here at stoneagegamer not only had terraonions in stocks, but also offer a service to install it and give your saturn/dreamcast a nice cleaning and make it look brand new again. Shipping was quick, and the customer service was outstanding. Would recommend stoneagegamer to anyone looking into a service like this

    The Upgrade I Needed

    Posted by James on Jul 9th 2021

    I had the GDEMU in my Dreamcast before picking up the MODE for about a year. I never got more than about half my games to work. With the MODE, which has actual instructions and support, I got all my games working within a day - the exact same ROMS mind you. That alone was worth the price to me. Fine installation from the Stone Age team as well. I have a heavily modded system already and it was no problem for them to work on this without disturbing any of the other work, which I really appreciated.
