reicast r6 for Android is released. reicast is a multi-platform Dreamcast emulator. The project is currently in Alpha, usability, performance and stability issues are to be expected. We'll fix them the following weeks! As we only have a few android devices, we'd really love to see your videos of it running!
Cortex-A9 dualcore, 1ghz+ is the minimum hardware for decent speeds.
The Dreamcast BIOS is required for this emulator to work. In the internal memory of your phone, create a folder named dc, make a folder named data inside it, and put the bios files there (dc_boot.bin, dc_flash.bin). If you are using a file manager, the path for the folder is /sdcard/dc/data/. You should dump these files from your Dreamcast, Google has many tutorials on how to.
In order to save your game-play progress you will first need to format the memory cards. In order to do this you need to start the program, select the "boot bios" option, go to the "file" option, select the memory cards and then select the "delete all" option.
reicast r6 for Android Changelog:
- Fixed shenmue and many other games, microphone emulation, improved ui, configuration & lots of other stuff

 Format: Dreamcast Publisher: Sega Developer: in-house (AM2) Read our Shenmue review here
It’s telling that there are only two series which share that much in common with Shenmue: Yakuza, with its heady Japanese environments, kitsch mini-games and crowd combat, plus The Elder Scrolls’ immense interactive population, circadian routines and completely voiced dialogue. This pair of game series, and their respective yardsticks of production, have paddled in Shenmue’s gene pool, even if that was never their intention. There are no Shenmue clones, of course.Shenmue was ahead of its time just as much as it was ahead of itself. It arrived on three GD-ROMs (proprietary 1.2GB Dreamcast discs), just one year after the console’s debut. At the time, it was the most expensive videogame developed. Originally planned for release on Saturn, it swelled into a 16-chapter tale that was eventually compressed into three games, but that weight loss still wasn’t enough to save it from its own ambition, with the third and concluding chapter still nothing but a cross that Sega’s fans continually beg it to bear. Perhaps its only software legacy is to have sealed the ascent of the QTE – quick time event – into gaming’s plump lexicon of abbreviations, but its heritage lives on, often quite fiercely, in the hearts of those who plunged themselves into Shenmue’s grand world.Despite Shenmue’s prerelease selling points embodying the tiresome bunfight of specs, jargon and pillow-talk that would clog up 21st-century E3 events and blustery, post-GTA press releases – Millions of the most realest graphics ever! Unprecedented explorational freedom bar none! – it still successfully tapped into a tremendous wellspring of faith. And Dreamcast owners were certainly looking for something to believe in, with Sega having delivered a console that personified its effervescent arcade joy; Shenmue was the game that would prove to the rest of the world that Sega could also hold its own among the grandiose, multi-disc epics of the post-FFVII gaming scene. “It’s involving, and ultimately rewarding, but only represents a step towards what may be possible in the future, rather than the milestone Edge hoped for,” we concluded in our Shenmue review.
What AM2 delivered was an ineffably slow-paced and coagulated experience, centred on Japanese teenager and monotone human chipboard Ryo Hazuki, and his search for his father’s killer. Some were entranced by the game’s abounding atmosphere and visual detail. Others left frozen by clumpy interaction with an unthreatening, almost rustic world whose lofty promises were its only true revolution. And some must have felt somewhat marooned, afloat in an atypical world where they’d wander the districts of Yokosuka while asking unusual questions to pensioners and hairdressers with ornate faces in a bid to follow the protracted trail of breadcrumbs left behind by Lan Di, the murderer of Ryo’s father. It felt as if, however glamorously realised it may have been, Shenmue was a game of middle management, often composed of the unglamorous daily grinds – being home for bedtime, wisely spending money earned from a day job, or training combat moves through lonely practice – that other games bypass.It’s this domestic-level existence that’s the key to Shenmue’s power, however. Nothing allows you to drink in visual finery quite like a game character that walks at, well, walking speed. When drama kicks off, it’s Ryo’s otherwise drab existence – his hand held by the player at every stage – that gives it genuine, memorable weight. The 100-man battle; the ultimate showdown with Gollum-esque brawler Chai; Ryo’s motorbike ride with long-time friend and emerging sweetheart, Nozomi; even Christmas, as part of the game’s real-world 1986/1987 calendar, feels more than just an excuse to skin Yokosuka with some festive touches. And Lan Di himself makes for a cruel nemesis indeed, rarely appearing throughout Shenmue. Ditto Shenmue II, in which he steals the hero’s ending via a helicopter ride into a sunset sky. Two games in, and with justice not yet meted out, he’s the videogame equivalent of a war criminal.It all feels somewhat perverse, next to the exaggerated power-fantasy otherworlds, confidently structured goals and firm conclusions of other adventures. If not perversion, then it’s definitely representative of a player’s will to believe, a will that still persists in the never-static Shenmue III rumour mill, in the calls, petitions and laments for a closing chapter to the series, and in the fansites dedicated to reverse-engineering as much of the Shenmue universe as possible. It showed not just what gamemakers are capable of, but also what gameplayers are capable of, in how keenly some of them can connect and empathise with the vision presented to them. It’s a game that felt as full of optimism for the future potential of gaming as its readily receptive audience, and remains an immense and charmingly idiosyncratic achievement that loiters in the minds and even hearts of its fans as surely as it’s etched on to a trio of Dreamcast discs.

Sonic Boom will represent one of the biggest visual refreshes for Sonic since his 1999 Dreamcast debut, and Sega has released a new 'Behind the scenes' video which details how this makeover came about.
The 10-minute clip features commentary from Sega and developers from Big Red Button, the studio handling the console versions of Sonic Boom.

The Shenmue trademark looks like it may no longer be the property of Sega.
DualShockers has spotted an update to the Shenmue trademark page on the United States Patent and Trademark Office website that says the rights have been lost due to lack of use.
“Registration cancelled because registrant did not file an acceptable declaration under Section 8,” it reads.
That section is associated with the “continued use” or “excusable non-use” of a trademark. All of which suggests Sega either didn’t provide the required declarations or couldn’t explain the trademark’s dormant state.
The last proper Shenmue release was 2001’s Shenmue II. A planned sequel was scrapped due to the game’s disappointing sales, but that hasn’t stopped Shenmue III becoming one of the most requested games in the history of the internet.

Greg Martin, the artist behind some of gaming's most iconic box artwork, has sadly passed away.
The sad news comes via a friend posting on site Nintendo Age, where users have begun publishing some of Martin's most memorable work, including art for early Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man games.
Greg Martin started his career at Hanna-Barbera, before eventually going on to work at games companies including Nintendo and Sega.
Friend 'Bronty' said of the artist: "Greg was the rare person who both worked in and was a fan of the work of others in his industry. I don't think he ever lost that sense of wonder he had as a teenager for really great artwork, and he was a collector himself of artwork, movies, art books, and other things.
"He was one of the very best and most prolific artists in [the video game] area and the list of well loved game boxes he had a hand in is incredible."
RIP Greg, and thanks for basically teaching me to draw.

In a bizarre series of events an early build of the unreleased Dreamcast version of ToeJam & Earl 3 has found its way onto the internet.
Assembler forum user ZakhooiTM discovered the early build on the internal hard drive of a Dreamcast dev kit they purchased on eBay for $1200. While publisher Sega has never approved this build's release, series creators Greg Johnson and Mark Voorsanger have assured ZakhooiTM that they will look the other way when it comes to this "community release," with the stipulation that the beta is not to be sold or pressed to a disc.While ToeJam & Earl 3 eventually made its way onto the original Xbox in 2003, the Dreamcast version never saw the light of day and according to ZakhooiTM, it's a lot different than its commercial build. "The version on the devkit is more like the original on the megadrive but then in 3D," the hacker explained. "So no bosses, gates, keys, mini-games and hub connected world. Also no cutscenes, you just begin at the begin of the map and go to the elevator then can go to the next level."This rough cut is also pretty buggy, and while the first nine levels run well, stages 10-12 are prone to lockups.Since ZakhooiTM can't receive money for this unfinished build, the video game archaeologist has instead asked fans of the historic beta to donate money to the Mardan School, an american charity that helps children with learning disabilities.You can download the ToeJam & Earl 3 Dreamcast prototype from the Assembler forums, where there are instructions on getting it to run.

I had not published anything new from my "handwriting". I ask apologize in advance, you'll understand that there are many other priorities in my life ... and hobbies have these times  Lately I've dedicated to collecting source codes of games made with libdream (you know, the precursor library KOS), and rewrite them to work on KOS . Motives? In addition to preservation , serve as an excellent introductory guide to programming Kallistios and, why not, rediscover little gems !
Tic-tac-toe ,
this is definitely the weakest of the ports. Very simple, allowing games to the already well-known Tic-Tac-Toe, either against the CPU or another player. I added a 50/60Hz selector, OGG and background music (CC).
Robot Finds Kitten
Here a rarity, as it says in its description : Robot Kitten is Zen is a simulation, games with an ASCII interface, wherein the user (playing the eponymous robot and represented by a sign) should find the kitten ( . represented by a series of random characters) in a field of other random characters
has its own website: robotfindskitten.org and there are plenty of ports for all systems! So another preserved for KOS version!
DCIS - Dreamcast Emulator Space Invaders
And let the best for dessert . DCIS is a 8080 emulator that can play the legendary Space Invaders, with some extras included! Another very interesting port in pure KOS, and little sounds of Martians! lol Here's the page, still active, the original game: DCIS
Find the three games (binaries and sources) in the Downloads section -> IberDC (or your right, Latest Downloads)
Now notice that 2014 will also homebreweras surprises! Do not forget to comment!

As of, well, today, the alpha version of Sega Dreamcast emulator Reicast is available for Android. It's essentially an Android-based version of Nulldce.
Quick warning: the developer of Reicast reckons that you'll need to have at least a Cortex-A9 dual-core 1GHz+ processor in your Android device to run Reicast properly.
Given this is an alpha version of Reicast, you might obviously come across a few bugs. Otherwise, you should have no problem running the likes of Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Soul Calibur, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, and more.
Reicast even works on the Ouya, by the way. So, if you have one to hand, you download the .apk file and get it running on a big screen.
You can download Reicast for free on Google Play [Download here] right now.

Come up with a homebrew! Corbin , one of the leaders of the future Scourge project and we do anything you released DreamEdge, are encouraged to portage a classic like Alone in the Dark for the Dreamcast! As we said, is based on a old port made in 2000 called "Free in the Dark" from reverse engineering the original code (which received permission from the original author). The engine I-MOTION is the one based, hence can operate Alone in the Dark 1 and 2. For this to work we will be required to have the original game files AITD. For now, we note that there are still many bugs present (especially 2), and to improve the code to correct port. It is best that you see the video below so you can see the progress.

Kotaku noticed that "sonicthehedgehog-movie.com," "sonicthehedgehog-movie.net" and "sonicthehedgehogmovie.net" were registered to Sony last week, though Sony themselves have yet to announce any film adaptation of Sega's iconic mascot.
Sony Pictures Animation has created both fully-animated (Open Season) and live-action-plus-CG (The Smurfs) in the past, so it's hard to say which way a Sonic movie, should it ever be made, would go. If it's the latter, we're telling you right now Sony, making it dark and edgy - complete with Dr. Robotnik/Eggman torturing someone - has already been done.
Sonic the Hedgehog - The Movie. Coming sometime. Possibly. Running time (if it happens): fast.
