The Dreamcast 7 Years Old and Still Marching

Posted by Zonk on from the i-love-that-little-white-box dept.

Craig writes "The Dreamcast turned 7 only a few days ago but still the amateur developers and fans keep the Dream alive, only a week ago was the final of the DreamOn Coding Competition and today the announcement of a new Commercial Shootemup. The Scene centres around DCEmu with multinational support from French & Spanish sites with the majority of releases stored at Dreamcast Homebrew."

    This makes me wonder how ol' Dreamcast Linux is coming along...

  2. Propeller Arena: Aviation Battle Championship by Stormwatch · · Score: 3, Interesting
    This is coming to you from Aviation Radio Station. The year is 2045. Who thought of this? I don't know! But it's a crazy tournament of cool battles in the sky. Aviation Battle Championships begin! Proud warriors of the world's skies gather in hopes of winning the prize!

    All Dreamcast fanatics out there, check out my PROPELLER ARENA FAN SITE . I've amassed quite a nice bit of info and media on this lost (but also found) Dreamcast masterpiece by Sega/AM2.

    The best thing about the dreamcast was the ability to run NesterDC on it. You could burn your own disc with 100 nintendo games on it and play them without a mod chip or even a boot disk. NesterDC even supports save states and game genie codes.

    Who needs the Nintendo Revolution for that?

    The Commodore 64 is over 20 years old and there is still a demoscene.
