A homebrew software suite for video game consoles developed to help in the evaluation of upscalers, upscan converters, line doublers and of course TV processing of 240p video. The Wii, Dreamcast and GameCube versions have modes for 480i, 288p, 576i and 480p evaluation as well.
It consists of tests designed with the processing of 240p signals in mind, although when possible it includes other video modes and specific tests for them. These have been tested with video processors on real hardware and a variety of displays, including CRTs, PVMs, BVMs and Arcade monitors via RGB.
As a secondary target, the suite aims to provide tools for calibrating colors, geometry, linearity, overscan and black & white levels, for specific console outputs and setups.

A year has passed and ScummVM 1.7.0 is here.
With this release we have added support for 45 completely new games. These are:
- The Neverhood
- Mortville Manor
- Voyeur
- Return to Ringworld
- Chivalry is Not Dead
Also, we have updated the MT-32 emulator, added an OpenGL backend, improved many aspects of the GUI, enhanced the AGOS engine, made Urban Runner's videos less CPU-demanding, fixed tons of bugs in dozens of SCI games, improved sound in Loom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and improved platform portability for the Tony and Tinsel engines.
But this is not all. We have added experimental support for the OUYA console (we couldn't add GCW-Zero support simply because sev still awaits his console from Kickstarter), made major improvements to the PS2 port and merged the Bada with Tizen ports.
The full list with all changes mentioned can be found in our release notes and the release can be obtained as usual from our downloads page.
Everybody Way Oh!

Via our friends at Dreamcast-News, we present a new homebrew game that is being developed for Dreamcast: Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death  Its author, Michel Louvet, is so nice that it has even made a video that explains various concepts programming (in French, but worth it!).

Just FYI after I’m done with this run there will be a small break. Don’t expect 3rd run to start right away, if at all. I want to focus a bit on other stuff, like PCE for example.
To that end I’ve already purchased DE1-SoC kit from Terasic/Altera. Original DE1 was quite popular due to both low price and pretty neat features like lots of I/O pins, SDRAM / SRAM / FLASH chips, VGA output and audio codec. People’ve managed to emulate Amiga 500 on that, as well as PC-XT class system (CPU and the peripherials) good enough to run Dune 2. But, DE1 was based on Cyclone II, something that Altera dropped support for about a year ago. So, basically GDEMU is based on (as of now) outdated FPGA.
DE1-SoC looks a lot like DE1 and also has a great price for what it is – the main reasons for the name not being DE6 I suppose. But the big difference is the “System on Chip” part, it’s not just a bigger and better FPGA from the current 28nm based Cyclone V family, it has two physical Cortex A9 cores integrated into it. Each core runs at 800MHz and is a bit more than twice faster compared to Raspberry Pi CPU overcloced to 900MHz. CPUs are connected to FPGA fabric with 2 high-speed busses and one slower, simpler 32-bit bus, which is easier to use in smaller projects. There are a few Linux based images provided with the board, and the SoC can boot either the CPU first from microSD memory card or the FPGA first from the on-board configuration chip.
I’ve already put this new toy to good use – its considerably bigger internal SRAM allows for bigger logic analyzer buffer. I could probably already make a prototype PCE drive replacement that would be good enough to run a few games. And that’s exactly what I want to try next.
Saturn project is also progressing nicely, I’ve built a prototype board to test a few ideas. The software side is not yet ready though – well, there’s no rush, but I would’ve tried something already if I wasn’t busy building GDEMU

Burritro v2 is one of the first demoscenes the Sega Dreamcast (2001!) using a KOS version 1.0.0. For non-connoisseurs a demoscene is not a game, but a video that shows some of the technical capabilities of the console. demo was distributed by hand at E3 2001 in DC Tonic Collection! And the V2 means an improved Burritro original demo version, which was an entry in the y2kode. It is considered one of the first demoscenes the Dreamcast, and so has that special love Thanks to the original source, here's this version has been cleaned up and rewritten the code to work in modern KOS. The biggest change was the shift from the old TA code, the new KOS PVR, among other improvements As a bonus, we've added a 50/60Hz selector, which never hurts! What you will find in our download section, as it I'm curious ^ ^ More information demoscene Sega Dreamcast : Sega-dc.de

Hello friends! Dreamcastero comes another Sunday, and what better way to rediscover our large console homebrews! Freeeq is a video game inspired by the Amiga game "Skweek". Through various levels, we go through all the map tiles, avoiding obstacles and eliminating enemies based bombs
<center><iframe height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kY_ovHeEGb4?rel=0" frameBorder="0" width="560" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></center>
Importantly, in this case, both the game and the Dreamcast version was made by the author, Christian Henz ! In this case, only I had to compile the latest version for the console. Moreover, remember that it is a WIP version:! IS NO GAME definitvo . simply a development version I have prepared a binary section downloads .

Airball is a remake of the classic Atari ST but rewritten in SDL. There have been versions for other systems, like an exotic Nintendo NES. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Airball, Clément Corde decided to rewrite a nice remake pixel-perfect (with original music) of this classic! There, we have converted in ball and have to navigate a maze to try extensive isometric restore our human form I better stop hook up and I put the video (thanks DCEric!). The binary (unscrambled) and the CDI will find him in Downloads -> IberDC .

Heart of The Alien (HOTA) is the sequel is undoubtedly the best adventure of all time, Another World. It was developed in 1994 by Interplay exclusively for the Sega CD. However, the community developed an opensource engine to make it work on multiple platforms (called Redux.) Most veterans will remember that there is already a port to Dreamcast, right! The previous port of LTK (aka. Uguru), was published (including source code) in the former DCIberia.net MadridSX and presented in 2006. The port served as a sample on how easy it was to modify a Makefile to compile on Dreamcast, because the port did not include support for music. Whatever we bring here is the NEW port of Guaripolo Indiket and adding music stand ! So, we can finally enjoy this great game as it deserves!
Controls
* Pad: Up, Down, Left, Right
* A: Shoot / Run
* B: Use object
* X: Jump
* Y: Move quickly
* START: Skip video scene and leaves the game * L: Quick savestate * R: Loadstate fast, then make a savestate Installation Instructions The download does not include the original game files. To do this, you will need the original game ISO + MP3 files listed in following way: | ---- hota.bin | ---- IP.BIN | ---- hota | ------- | | -------------- Heart Of The Alien (U) iso. | -------------- Heart Of The Alien (U) 02.mp3 . .. | -------------- Heart Of The Alien (U) 40.mp3 port Technical details Guaripolo Our friend has rewritten all the sound and music to work in our Dreamcasts! So, for SFX is used directly AICA KOS, and the music of the libmp3 KOS (using XingMP3). Dependencies: * SDL 1.2.13 * libmp3 (KOS, important to reduce the buffer!) Detail: This is version 1.2.2 (stable). There is a CVS version labeled 1.2.4 but we have tested and does not work better than the previous (hang in more places.) What you will find ( binary and source code ) in Downloads -> IberDC PS: If you need passwords will help ... some go well ^ ^ ... GameFAQs (spoiler!)

Alright, preorders are open once again. This is a second production run and will probably be smaller than the first one, though that will depend on how much interest there still is in the device. Please note that if I’m again flooded with too many preorders I will have to make another waiting list. This worked well enough the first time around, just that the people near the end of the list will have to wait a few weeks.
All the units in this run will be the screw mounted ones. I still have a few remote PCBs left, without parts, I can send them along GDEMUs free of charge if you want to solder one on your own. If you don’t know what this remote is for, you don’t need it.
Please read the Ordering page (and all the other pages I’ve prepared) before asking me questions directly. In most cases the total price (unit, packaging, shipping, PP fees) is 110 Euro, if you’re fine with that please state that in your order. This will save me a round of emails, I’ll just send you a request to pay as soon as I have GDEMU unit to send. Less hassle for everybody that way. Assuming you give me your PayPal email address that is.
UPDATE: Well, so much for not flooding my email. List is full, preorders are closed again.

There’s another guy dissapointed in me – I mean, not only he made a detailed list of my shortcomings, he was nice enough to mail me directly to present it, along with “offer of help”:
http://atariage.com/forums/topic/127...4#entry3017584
Seriously people, some of you don’t like me. I get that. I can assure you the feeling is mutual. But do I go out of my way to mail you with my incoherent rambling? No, I don’t. Is it really too much to ask of you not to spam my mailbox?
I could understand if these guys were my clients and felt cheated out of their money – but they are not. GDEMU is what it is, perhaps not perfect for everybody, but I don’t force it on anyone. You don’t like it? Don’t buy it. You think you can make a better one? Prove it. Words are cheap.
On the subject of making GDEMU, to avoid what happened last time, that is people missing the preordering window, I’m going to plan it this time. The preorders will open on 1st of July. Hopefully the rush hour has ended and I will be able to keep it open for some time. I was seriously not expecting that level of interest and as such it has taken so long to finish the first run. In other words, I did everything according to plan, except my plan did not account for selling everything in less than two days. Also, I’m imposing a limit of maximum one unit per person, this is because bigger orders are a real PITA for me. Two is possible as well but you’ll get two separate shipments – the first as soon as I can make it and the second sometime later. You only pay for one unit each time so you can always just cancel the second one if you don’t want it anymore.

I’m almost done with the preorders but I’ve hit two issues:
One is I buy the big chips for GDEMU in smaller quantities than a whole tray. That means the supplier has to repackage them for me, and apparently the last batch ended up in a malfunctioning machine or something. All FPGAs had some pins slightly lifted on one side and these did not solder down properly. I only discovered that after cleaning and during testing, which means a lot of reworking and more cleaning and testing is required. Which is very time consuming.
Second is much trivial, my local post office run out of CN22 stickers and they’ve only just requested more. As (bad) luck would have it, most of the units I’m about to send this week go outside EU area, and need a CN22. So if I’m not able to get some more stickers in the main office the shipping of some GDEMUs will get delayed until I either get them of figure a valid way to print them on normal paper. Which everyone says is OK to do but you see, if not, it ends up being the recipient problem. So I’d rather spare you that if it’s only a few days of waiting.
So, in about two weeks I should know exactly how many leftover units there will be, and I will make some more anyway. If only because there were some requests for more than two units and initially I refused that. Since I’m going to make more it makes no sense to start all this for just a couple units so it will be another production run. Stay tuned.
