First-time DreamColor Plus setup, from checking the package contents to the basic test on Dreamcast.
Set aside the DreamColor Plus, the wireless receiver, and the items included with your version. The Dual Analog version uses a faceplate designed for the second analog stick.
A microSD card, USB cable, faceplate, thumbsticks, covers, and tools are only included when they are part of the order.Use a regulated 5 V USB power supply and a cable in good condition. Insert or remove the microSD card only when the controller is completely powered off.
Use a genuine Class 10 or U1 card formatted as FAT32 whenever possible.Connect the wireless receiver to a Dreamcast controller port, turn on the console, and then turn on the DreamColor Plus. Initial pairing is automatic.
Keep the controller and receiver close together and wait a few seconds without pressing any buttons.Hold START for 3 seconds to open the menu. Select the language, mode, and controller type. Then calibrate Analog Stick 1, Analog Stick 2 when present, and the triggers.
Use the input test to check that the buttons, axes, and triggers correctly reach their center and full-range positions.Launch a game and check the D-pad, A, B, X, and Y buttons, START, triggers, primary analog stick, audio, and vibration before enabling special profiles.
The second analog stick, motion sensors, emulators, and game-specific profiles should be tested separately.The Dreamcast should recognize the controller, and the basic inputs should respond normally. After that, configure only the profile or feature you intend to use.
