Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Dreamcast
An anonymous reader writes "Just noticed over at Boob! that Duke Nukem 3D has had its first non-x86 port - for the Sega Dreamcast.

Dreamcast Modem Is Reverse Engineered
00_NOP writes "The hobbyist's favourite console - the Dreamcast - comes with one of those braindead Winmodems that have made it very difficult for those on the active DC development scene to use.

Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50
kerskine writes: "Just read this article on CNET that says Sega has just dropped the price of the Dreamcast console to US$49.95. Given past articles on Slashdot on all sorts of fun Dreamcast projects, now's the chance to get one. Why not get two (in case you break one)?" See also this article on getting Linux to run on Dreamcast, and NetBSD is another option to explore. 8ight points out even more interesting Dreamcast information.
