  1. Dreamcast Programming by ecliptik · · Score: 5, Informative · on Andre Lamothe Launches XGameStation

    200$ is a bit expensive for a hobby video game programming system. Why not just pick up a dreamcast for cheap and use it?

    There are plenty of resources for it and some good examples of homebrewed games and applications already out there.

    Not to mention it's a lot more modern and you can use some nice rendering hardware.

  2. The console too good for Sega to kill is BACK... by MsGeek · · Score: 1 · on Amateurs Pushing the Dreamcast's Boundaries
    ...and now it has a handy flip-up LCD screen.

    I thought someone was trolling/kidding about the Treamcast but apparently it does exist. No, that's not a typo...that's what the HK wizards who built it call it.

    There is precious little info in the reviews I linked to. The dcemu.co.uk review mentioned an empty modem slot...will a DC modem fit the slot? How about the Broadband adapter? What about usage of all my DC goodies with this machine...some of the stuff I like to play requires not one, but two VMUs to make it work like I like it, and I have favorite controllers I use. The one that comes with the Treamcast looks pretty lame. And what about The Typing Of The Dead? Can I plug in my SegaNet keyboard and type some zombie ass to Kingdom Come?

    Despite the unanswered questions, the Treamcast suggests there's life in the old platform yet, regardless of Sega killing it before its time. Between the fanboys writing new games for it and the legally questionable but laudable in many other respects manufacture of this brand new version of the platform what remains of Sega is probably kicking itself.

    You can't keep a good console down! W00t!

  4. DC Emulator on PC by ProudClod · · Score: 5, Informative · on Amateurs Pushing the Dreamcast's Boundaries

    It's worth noting another recent breakthrough in the DC scene - a DC emulator for PC that works with real games at a playable rate.

    Chankast is that piece of software, and it's a joy to see running :) I can now play rez on my PC.

    However, with DCs available at as low as 15GBP, it's silly not to pick it up. As a games writer, it's my favourite console I've owned, for the high quantity of top-notch games that were released in its short life. In fact, if you haven't explored the DC's back catalogue - I'd thoroughly recommend it. It's one of modern gaming's best kept secrets.
