Amateurs Pushing the Dreamcast's Boundaries
Wraggster writes "The Sega Dreamcast console, which died an early commercial death, has recently seen some amazing new projects mainly aimed at emulation. Recently, a coder named Bluecrab released a port of the Saturn emulator called Yabause for the Dreamcast. Also, GPF (Troy Davis) has ported the excellent Visual Boy Advance (Game Boy Advance Emulator) to the Dreamcast. Finally, yesterday it was announced that Nincest (Nintendo 64 Emulator), an early N64 emulator that played demos only, has also been ported to the Dreamcast. All the projects are somewhat slow, but the achievement of the work is not to be discounted. Who says the Dreamcast is dead?"
Yeah, i had a 3.0GHz computer with plenty of sparkling accessories, but when I found out that my Dreamcast could do everything my new computer could only a lot slower for the measly price of $30 I nearly flipped my lid!! Now I use my Dreamcast for everything. You should see the looks I get when I'm walking it!!
Yeah, it is sort of ironic to see people supporting a system for it's suicidal lack of security.
You forgot the 'with completely useless gadgets' after 'tinker' there. Just figured I'd play the hero, no thanks required.
