via Shmups Forum
Here's René of NG: DEV.TEAM and I'd like to introduce my shmup side-project DUX.
This game is going to be a memorizer shooting with focus on blasting action, which means the memorizing aspect will make a rather small extent of the game but is still required for progressing further. But don't be confused with the vertical shooting game, which will come next year to the NeoGeo, this here is Dreamcast only. Given that, it can take the advantages of the Dreamcast system to bring some smooth high-resolution CGI visuals on screen and various other modern features.
Anyhow, enjoy this teaser pic.
DUX will get an Dreamcast release via HUCAST.net on a physical disc around June/July. Pricing is about 20 EUR.
More to come soon.

News/release from Indiket
Well friends, RealLife? (Tm) has kept me quite ocupadillo and with many things to do, but I think it was time to update this cucumber homebrew, and with all of you ......
OpenTyrian? 0.2 DC
Changes:
-- Updated version rev. 720 Classic.
-- Amended fmopl.c using code version PSP. It reduces a little sound quality for release cpu.
-- Implemented preliminary routines to load and save. OpenTyrian? You can save and load games from the VMU. This has to be in the port A1, and always took 7 blocks, regardless of the No saves.
-- Added icon in the vmu loading the game, and also in the file of the vmu.
-- Added support for 2 players. The controls have changed the previous version:
Player 1: moving ship with digital (rather than analog), shoots with A, B, X and side arms, change shape shot START.
Player 2: moving ship only with analog, shoots A lateral shoots two weapons at once with the B, and change shape shot START.
-- Added music predigitalizada (WAV) instead of emularla. The DC will be loading into memory the songs that you ask (be careful with the jukebox).
Limitations:
-- The game freezes upon entering the section Instruction.
-- There is no support network gaming.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To save a game, before you start OpenTyrian? Must have a command on port 2! When you go to save, simply click on the Start command and 2 will be saved.
2. To be able to play games to 2, before starting level, the player has to take 1 keyboard, and the player 2 joystick.
3. You can play games from 1 player, putting the command in the port 2 (if more like playing with analog).

News/release from Quzar:
After hearing the obnoxious no-battery beep every time I start up for the past few years, I decided to try to make the VMU beep on my own. Not wanting to erase data, and knowing that it's not in the LCD, I tried for the clock, and used the same stuff as the purupuru, and well ... it worked!
So, after a lot of fiddling, I got some good sounds, and decided to release it ala purupuru in a test package ripped from Sinister Tengu's for puru.
So far I've only been able to make a beep out of the last byte and by making the first nibble smaller than the second
Example: 0x000065f0
I intend to clean this up, and expand on it for formal adding to kos later on (timed beeps, etc). But for now, enjoy!

Progress on the upcoming homebrew game for Dreamcast.
The lava world has got some tuning and looks much better than before. Here is the proof:
Additional to the screenshots there are of course more news. The lava world is fully converted to the new set, which makes a sum of 28 complete levels. We are working on three more worlds and then we can consider this game finalized.
Unfortunatly we wont make the release at end of April, but we had neat progress almost every day of the week and hope to keep the speed.
--------------------------------
Musicmaster Alexander “Op3rator” Oldemeier came up with new tune previews today. It’s pretty amazing and rockz the house. If it will happen that Giana’s Return is unplayable or crap, at least the music will save everything 
Alex’s extraordinary depressive chipmusic style is really a gift for the project!
Thank you for your work!

Phantom has posted asking if people are still interested in FreeSCI for the Dreamcast, so if you want him to work on it and release new versions then reply via comments and let him know 
Hi all,
FreeSCI's "glutton" branch is expected to become the stable branch in the near future. I'm unsure whether continuing to maintain the DC port is worthwhile. Is anyone still using FreeSCI on DC?
Remember make your voices heard

Its always nice when the mainstream posts about the Dreamcast, heres the article from joystiq:
Although we skimmed a little bit on this week's Ask Joystiq, we'll be back in full force next Friday!
If you have any burning questions, unsolved gaming mysteries, or just a desire for musings from our knowledgeable cadre of writers, drop us a line at ask AAT joystiq DAWT com (and yes, we write it that way for a reason).
Q: In January of 2007 you reported that three new games would be coming out for the Dreamcast: Last Hope, Trigger Heart Excelica and Karous. What is the status of these games? Are there any more Dreamcast games coming our way?
-Wonderflex
A: In short, the status of these games is: they're out in Japan. Last Hope hit on Jan. 31, Trigger Heart Excelica came in on Feb. 22, and Karous was released on March 8. Dreamcast owners can search for the limited-run games through importers, but non-Dreamcast owners have options too -- Trigger Heart Excelica recently hit Xbox Live Arcade, and Karous is now available for the Wii in Japan (Wikipedia currently lists a PS2 version of Last Hope, but we couldn't find any other evidence that it's even planned).
We couldn't find any evidence of new retail Dreamcast games being planned, but Dreamcast Scene and DCEmu continue to update with plenty of homebrew games and apps. Sure, most of these freebie releases don't have the polish or appeal of a retail release, but some are good enough to get ported to the DS. Good hunting.

Fackue has released a build of dcgnuboy, the Gameboy hardware emulator for the Dreamcast, that adds ZIP support in response to a porting request at the dcemulation forums. This also merges in the changes from the pre-alpha 1.0.4 release of dcgnuboy that fixes a few bugs.
Quzar has been helping Fackue along the way, removed a bunch of code that was unnecessary. Bilinear filtering has also been disabled in this release.
There is a bug in the program in the menu after loading a few roms. It ends up saying "/cd/gb", and then you have to restart.

Over at Lavalit comes some WIP Screens of a rather nice Beats of Rage Mod for the Dreamcast:
I suppose I should declare this module. I started working on it over a year ago, but went on a very long hiatus. Now I wanna continue it, so here I am. I'll try to limit the graphic usage to just the Darkstalker series and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. (Keep the style consistent.) I intend for this to be a very fast paced mod that will attempt to capture the feel of the Darkstalker series.
Playable Characters: Felicia, Morrigan, Lei Lei/Hsienko, Lilith, Donovan, Gallon/J.Talbain.
Minor Enemies: QBee, Phobos/Huitzil, Sasquatch, Star Platinum (and various other stands and characters.)
Bosses/Mid-bosses: Zabel Zarock/L.Raptor, Bulleta/B.B.Hood, Victor, Bishamon, Aulbath/Rikuo, Anakaris, Demetri, Pyron, Jedah.
Felicia, Morrigan, and Lilith are practically finished, Donovan is mostly done, but Hsienko and Talbain (and most everything else) still have a lot of work. I've still gotta figure out a suitable level order.
The story takes place after the events of Vampire Savior. The only thing keeping the Makai from descending into total chaos was the Three Great Noble's Power. With the defeat of Jedah, the Makai has become a place of great turmoil, but a mysterious and charismatic leader has emerged from the chaos to invade the Human Realm. Darkhunters have been trusted with the protection of the Human Realm, targeting those with 'impure' blood indiscriminately. Six heroes are caught in the crossfire of a war between the Human and Demon Realms.
While I already have an idea for the final boss, any suggestions you wanna throw my way I'll take a gander at. In fact, any suggestions at all will be welcome. Thanks!

- Rare instance of player allowed to throw rocks / shoot the pistol while in camera mode fixed
- Camera is improved

- Fixed a bug where if a monster killed a player, they'd always move towards the player unless
distracted
- Kill command works, doesn't take away from the lives pool
- Crosshair turns off when walltucking and renables when not
- Upgraded models for the pistol and bullets
- If the player is killed by certain attacks they're now gibbed
- DP Only: Client side prediction is turned on when not sneaking, helps running away / lag

The recent move to .org of DCEmulation, the sad disapearance of Consolevision, problems with DCEvolution and the loss of DCHomebrew not to mention other sites not being updated for a long time mean that we as a scene have some work to do to rebuild the scene back to the glory it deserves.
the subsites that were on both DCHomebrew and Consolevision should be first on our agenda to get rehosted on the net. Thankfully the Web Archive even if there isnt a backup can retrieve sites and even lost downloads. Ill gladly give the dreamcast sites a new home here if theres a back up of them and they arent already hosted elsewhere.

From the official website:
…everything is a little bit darker now, but with more features The new theme also turns out to handle every previous entries 100% correctly, which is a nice thing
To speak out straight, some of the screenshots in the screenshot section are pretty old and heavily outdated. For those who are interested in keeping the old pictures, make a backup of them, as they will be replaced in the next few days.
Our all beloved coding machine from France did a great job the past days and the bugtracker has become slightly empty. Overall the progress speed concerning the code is excellent, while the graphics part slows down again (always the same…).
We’ll keep you guys updated! Promised

New version of the Sega Dreamcast emulator for PC.
Info and changelog:
Makaron Test 9/4 for those who like to experiment.
I'd urge you to wait for T10 as this is a bastard mix of current (broken) dev and older T9/2. I got it to compile and run but that's about it - not tested. It does include the DMA changes that should make WinCE games more stable but I make no guarantees.
It's still using old GD code which means (with the DMA changes I've made) it will most likely break Street Fighter Alpha and some other games.
Use the supplied plugins and Maple.ini to get vibration support and use F12 menu to enable VMU LCD overlay. Also, make sure to change sorting mode because it defaults to "Alternate" which turned out not to work for some games.
This release goes beyond experimental, it's downright partisan I'm not kiding you - unless you like 'em rough stay clear. I'd like to have some feedback on vibration support for upcoming T10 and that's the only reason it exists.
PS. No changes to full-screen mode in this one, and no support for 16:X aspect ratios. And Yuki, stick to your T9/3 for now

So many here fell for it
Originally I intended to "disappear" for a week (just like last time) and have my fun reading the comments, hate mail and cursing. Unfortunately not that many sites picked up on this idea of mine and so I'll have to cut it short. Pity.
I especially enjoyed the threats to move to another emulator. How silly is that? Folks, you're free to do that anytime you want and you don't need my permission. Really.
Let's face it - most of you got angry because you took free Makaron for granted and now I was about to take it away from you. You got all cozy thinking you somehow deserve it. Well... think again.
Having said that - hook, line AND SINKER, people
