Right on time for the 10th anniversary of id Software's Quake, DCEvolution.net's second Xmas 2006 release represents the ultimate Quake package for your Dreamcast:
Play the original Shareware Version of Quake or fight your way through more than 300 Deathmatch maps against bots.
Using an enhanced version of QuakeDC, ported by Titanium Studios (Stupid Invaders), it offers everything you'd expect from a commercial Dreamcast game:
With its VMU and VGA support, high resolution graphics at 640x480, light and transparency effects and the full original soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails it basically plays and looks like Quake III Arena.
A release of this quality is only possible thanks to Manoel "Fragger" Kasimier (nxMakaqu), who has been working on polishing, improving and enhancing QuakeDC since 2001. This compilation finally features all of his fantastic work on one huge disc!
For more info about this release, printable covers and the download check out this website.
Be sure not to miss yesterday's Xmas release: The Sandman - Dreamcast Demo Disk Vol.1
The DCEvolution.net Team wishes everyone some nice and quite days!

The Yabause team (myself included) has released version 0.8.0 of our multi-platform Sega Saturn emulator. You can get it from the download page : http://yabause.sourceforge.net/index.php/?page_id=4 .
I won't go into what's changed since the last version, since there's too much to mention. Suffice it to say, Yabause is becoming quite a nice Sega Saturn emulator.
The release tonight includes binaries for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Dreamcast (as well as the source code).
So, enjoy; and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Yabause team.

Well, its my turn for a Christmas release, and for that I bring you Yabause 0.8.0! For those who don't know, Yabause is a multi-platform Sega Saturn emulator. For the first time, I have a Dreamcast release ready at the same time as the other ports of Yabause.
To download the newest release, go here:
http://yabause.sourceforge.net/index.php/?page_id=4 .
If you pick the Dreamcast version as listed there, you'll get the plain files for the emulator (1ST_READ.BIN). You'll need a Saturn BIOS image to go with it named saturn.bin in the root of the cd. After that, just burn it like any other selfbooting emulator, pop it in your DC, and follow the directions on screen. Performance wise, you'll get somewhere between 4 and 8 FPS most places, but only around 2 in movies. Not all games work, and some work in the PC version that will not work on the Dreamcast version. Sorry about that.
Here's some screenshots for those who haven't seen them:
 
 
 
 
These are all from the game Magical School Lunar, by the way.
Anyway, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays.

People who had a look into homebrew games available for SEGA Saturn may have wondered why only very few of them use 3d graphics. And almost all of these feature only very simple 3d models.
One main reason for that is the difficult toolflow needed to convert 3d data to Saturn format. The conversion is error prone, covers multiple tools (some of them windows-only), with every tool having it's own bugs and limitations.
Once you started assigning Saturn specific polygon attributes, you can't just go back the toolchain and change the geometry without having to redo all the work on polygon attributes.
But that was then.
For Blender, a free cross-platform and open-source 3D modeling program, capable to import a lot of common 3D file formats through plugins using it's python API,
there is now a new plugin available, which allows a 3D scene, including textures and gouraud shading tables, to be exported to SEGA Saturn format!
This is already the 3rd release of the plugin and though further updates will follow, this one can already be considered to be way better than the "traditional" methods. This script was created for my entry to the SEGA Saturn Coding Contest (C4 - 2006) and it is released in the hope, that it will enable other participants to easily use 3d graphics, too.
Have a look at the original topic for detailed info!

That's. Sega announced that the Phantasy Star Online games will be offline in 3/31/07 :cry:
And it is not only for the Dreamcast versions, it's also for the GameCube versions :cry:
I don't have idea about the Xbox version or the PSOBB for PC.
You can read the official news on both DC/GC PSO sites :cry:

New version of the BeatEm UP Engine for the PSP/DC/DOS/WIN.
Updates
There have been quite a few additions in features. But only if you are a modder. However, PSP and DC users will appreciate one of the new features I've implemented and that is....
Sprite Database Management Modders tend to reuse sprites such as walking, running, etc... over and over and instead of allocating space for every sprite I now reuse the original sprite and its ID. So what does this mean to you then gamer....
2MBytes of RAM has been saved on mods like Final Fight Appocolypse 2nd and Battle Toads. However, a huge mod like A Tale Of Vengence we are saving 8MBytes of memory.
Lastly, alot of bug fixes have been done. If you find a bug then please post it at http://www.borgeneration.com/ where you can also find the weekly updates to the engine and all the mods you can handle.
