    They stopped making dreamcasts and left the hardware businesss like more then a year ago.

  2. Key Rate? by Kris_J · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    I wonder what the D.net key rate is like. I know someone that already has SETI@home running on five PCs in his home, he'd probably be interested in running S@h or D.net on a DC or 12 too.

      Actually, more than that, I wonder if he's running the client on both the SH4 core cpu AND the ARM sound cpu :) He'd definately get a nice increase running on both CPU's!

    The latest LinuxDC sources can be found here. There are built kernels doing the rounds, but they tend to lack the device support - sound, lightgun, rumblepack, flash memory - that has been developed in the last year.

    Dreamcast is such old technology try it on something newer like x-box

    That would be the xbox based on 1970s cpu technology that even Bill Gates said was "braindead" 15 years ago? Or the Dreamcast based on a RISC cpu?
