AN interesting news tidbit from our old pals over at the Spanish Dreamcast site DCIberia, basically to do with DVDs working on Dreamcast via Dreamshell, heres the translated article:
Good people, remember that this was the question of the million for a long time and at the time, when the Play2 and DC fought side by side, more than one wondered "why SEGA had not endowed the DC with such quality? "Many said it was because I did not want to spend on licenses, many others said it was because Dreamcast did not have enough power ... hoaxes! It is now when we learn, thanks to the Assembler forums , that from Dreamshell and with the IDE modification, it will be possible to connect dvd readers that have that port, and load ISOS, CDI, GDI or other types of files , as was done So far from the rigid discs. What is also very interesting is the possibility that you can play video dvd, because, as they comment, the DC has more than enough power for this purpose, although for the moment and although it is being investigated, there are no plans to add that quality in the next version of DS. You can stick around the Assembler forums and get very interesting first-hand information. Forums ASSEMbler

Heres one of the better Sega console emulators for windows and without any more of my rabble, heres the release notes:
PicoDrive v1.91.1 (2017/11/17) is released. PicoDrive is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind (such as smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X and Pandora), but also runs on non-ARM little-endian hardware too. The emulator is heavily optimized for ARM, features assembly cores for 68k, Z80 and VDP chip emulation, also has dynamic recompilers for SH2 and SSP16 (for 32X and SVP emulation). It was started by Dave (aka fdave, finalburn author) as basic Genesis/Megadrive emulator for Pocket PC, then taken over and expanded by notaz.
PicoDrive features:
- status line in main menu working
- bug fix: remove accidental wip svp code
- analog control working
- bug fix: svp dynarec freeze
- bug fix: load state background
- bug fix: accurate renderer
PicoDrive Changelog:

The guys over at out of print archive have released a new magazine digitalized for reading now and in the future, this magazine is for the Early Sega Consoles:
Originally released here at the start of 2015, issue 10 of Sega Pro just received the remaster treatment and thus, has never looked better. This issue dates back to the summer of 1992 and therefor has quite a bit of Game Gear content to keep you busy during that long vacation.
We found a lot of great stuff so it was hard to pick only four preview articles, so we ended up with eight instead. We have an abundance of Game Gear content up as a preview for this issue, so lets jump right in and take a look at the reviews for Prince of Persia, Klax, Popils and last but not least Marble Madness, all of which are for the Sega Game Gear.
Then we have a look at Batman for the Mega Drive, followed by the Friday the 13th inspired game Splatterhouse II, also for the Sega Mega Drive.

The guys over at out of print archive have released a new magazine digitalized for reading now and in the future, this magazine is for the Sega Saturn:
Due to a couple of setbacks it took a bit longer to get our next issue out. But we're slowly getting back on track and thus are happy to present you with the remastered version of issue number 4 of the Official Sega Saturn Magazine from February 1996.
We start our preview with perhaps the finest railgun shooter ever created: Panzer Dragoon Zwei, and move on to a horizontal 2D shooting game from another quality pedigree: Darius Gaiden by Taito.
After these two big hitters we look at reviews for two lesser known games for the system: the Sega arcade conversion Wing Arms and the flipper sim True Pinball.

Heres the latest release of an emulator that supports lots of Nintendo and Sega Systems:
higan is a multi-system emulator that began development on 2014-10-14.
It currently supports the following systems:
• Nintendo Famicom
• Nintendo Super Famicom
• Nintendo Game Boy
• Nintendo Game Boy Color
• Nintendo Game Boy Advance
• Sega Master System
• Sega Game Gear
• Sega Mega Drive
• NEC PC Engine
• NEC SuperGrafx
• Bandai WonderSwan
• Bandai WonderSwan Color
higan also supports the following Super Famicom subsystems:
• Super Game Boy
• BS-X Satellaview
• Sufami Turbo
Minimum System Requirements:
• Intel Core-series processor
• OpenGL 3.2-capable graphics card
• Windows XP+, OS X 10.7+, Linux 3.2+ or FreeBSD 10.0+
With this release, PC Engine, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive and the newly added SuperGrafx support are now quite usable! They're far from the best emulators for these systems, but with many bugfixes, full sound emulation, and save state support ... many games are now fully playable with decent accuracy.
The Game Boy Advance emulation is also now substantially improved with vastly improved sound quality and a new dot-based PPU renderer. With that change, every single component in higan is now cycle-based. Regrettably, these changes do carry a ~20% performance penalty compared to GBA emulation in v102.
Changelog: (2017-06-21)
• added SuperGrafx emulation
• improved audio band-pass filtering for all emulated systems
• screen rotation is now a hotkey; automatically rotates control bindings
• screen rotation now supported on the Game Boy Advance as well (used by a small number of games)
• massive improvements to Mega Drive emulation
• massive code cleanups and rewrites to many CPU emulation cores (MOS6502, WDC65816, SPC700, etc)
• Famicom, Master System, Mega Drive: added PAL emulation support
• PC Engine, SuperGrafx, Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive: added save state support
• PC Engine, SuperGrafx: added PSG sound emulation
• Master System, Game Gear: added PSG sound emulation
• Mega Drive: added Z80 APU emulation [with help from Cydrak]
• Mega Drive: added PSG sound emulation
• Mega Drive: added YM2612 sound emulation [Cydrak]
• Super Famicom: fixed Super Game Boy emulation
• PC Engine: added save RAM support (using per-game PCE-CD backup RAM)
• Game Boy Advance: substantial improvements to audio emulation quality
• Game Boy Advance: convert scanline-based PPU renderer to a dot-based renderer
• Game Boy Advance: properly initialize CPU state (fixes Classic NES Series games)
• Game Boy Advance: MUL timing corrected [Jonas Quinn]
• Mega Drive: emulate special mappers for Phantasy Star IV, Super Street Fighter II, etc.
• Super Famicom: use darker luma for INIDISP=0 (large improvement to Final Fantasy III opening)
• Super Famicom: fixed bugs in SMP OR1,AND1 instructions
• cheat code database regrettably removed from official releases; will be made available separately
This changelog is a summary of major changes. For a detailed list of all changes, which spans several pages, please see the higan Gitlab repository.
