No to my knowlege. The Dreamcast only uses three voltages and none of them are 8v. If you wanted though if this is for powering a screen, you can take the 12v line off the power supply and run it into something like a 7808 regulator.

Because I'm guessing it's for a PSOne screen, use a switching regulator.

Sparkfist is right, anyone know a point on the PSU that outputs 12V? :P
