Freeze posted this news over at dcemulations forums, its important enough for me to post here too, heres his news:[br][br][br] Dreamcast Demo Disc #01[br]This project is far away from death. Although we didn't say anything about this disc in the last month, we're currently working on it. A good programmer works on a new menu system, even he has only few sparetime left. The content is already set but people are trying hard to fix some bugs in their programs. [br][br]I can't give you an exact release-date cause I don't want to disapoint people again. I don't want to build-up wrong hopes on promises we can't keep due higher problems. [br][br]Still, the CD will be produced 2.000 times and give away for free with every Dreamcast order at Lik-Sang. This makes sure that only Dreamcast users will get their hands on the DDD#01 and won't land at PS2 gamers for example. [br][br]What we still need: Unfortunately I found out that I'm absolutly a moron concerning good looking 2D menus. If someone can give me a hand, please send me PM or an email. [br][br][br]GP32-DC link cable[br]This project is currently holded. It's not canceled, we have a prototype here but it's damn slow and does not satisfy our claims. We have our men who experiment in all their sparetime with a faster link cable. Once we have a new prototype which is fast enough for our claims, we'll produce a couple of cables in a (professional) factory and it will be sold at Lik-Sang as well. Still we have no release-date. I want to excause myself for all the promises we've done and nothing happend. [br][br][br]Dreamcast-Scene website[br]The news are damn old, I know. The problem is, we were cheated and have no money. But to start from the beginning: When we last news were written we planed a LOT to make a new website which is much bigger, does have a lot more interesting technical features (PHP system, posting and editing our own articles, polls, etc.) and stuff. We already have a guy who can do all this stuff, except for the killer-webdesign. We had contacts to a guy who wanted to make a cool design and he promised us a lot. We were fascinated about his portfolio and what he wanted to do. After a while, silence appeared. What happend? We don't know, but the fact is, he won't reply any email, hasn't done anything yet and we're standing in the middle of nowhere with nothing in our hands, an old website and nothing is done yet.
