That's right, I found my old Dreamcast with everything except the power cord to plug into the wall. That's all I really need and everywhere I go there never seems to be a place to carry just the power cord for it. So if anyone happens to have a spare then that'd be great!

I'm almost 100% positive that the universal one they make (by Madcatz, Interact, etc.) that works for ps2 and xbox will work for the dreamcast.

I tried plugging in my PS2 power cord...didn't fit...it was shaped slightly different.

Umm... the universal one for xbox and ps2 has a different shape connector than the factory ps2 one. This cord will work.

Weird...I have my DC power cable, but I just use the PS2 one so I didn't need to bring the DC one to school with me.

Try the power cord from the PSX (grey model PSX's)

It is basically the same as the PS2 cord, same shape so if the PS2 doesn't work thesame goes for the PSX one. I think, if you can find one, a SEGA Saturn cord will work.

I guess my real question should be can I find a cord for less than $5? Because I can't seem to find one (either for the DC or universal). I have found a cord for like $7-$10 at various places...but that seems kinda steep for just the cord since my local EB Games has the system/controllers/accessories for $19.99...so yea

You can get this cord from Radioshack for $4.99. There are three different kinds they carry - one is round on both sides, one is square on both sides, and the one you need is square on one side and round on the other. Why do I know this? I work there... hope this helps.
