I’ve received a lot of emails asking about GDEMU so I can confirm now: There will be a 3rd production run. Now, I’ve mentioned Xmas before but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to wait until December. That’s just a deadline of sorts. I hope to have the preorders reopened in 4-6 weeks.
So, in other words, watch this space. Especially if you’re also interested in Saturn and PCE.

Continuing our journey on the Sega path, we present to you the latest issue of Sega Pro, which hit the newsstands during the summer of 1992, July to be more precise.
We have a ton of previews for this issue, so let's get started. We begin with a special titled: Guide to Shoot 'Em Ups. Then we take a look at The Winter CES of 1992. We move on to reviews for Exile as well as Bart VS The Space Mutants, both of which are for the Mega Drive.
And then we look at two Game Gear reviews: Crystal Warriors and OutRun Europa before finishing off this update with the Master System review for Prince of Persia.

First release of the What’s Shenmue translation project. What’s Shenmue is a small demo of Shenmue that was not released outside of Japan.
The patcher translates every text, graphic and subtitles into English, Spanish and German (One patcher for all). This can be considered the first final version of the project.
PacoChan’s patcher will only accept original GDI format backups in order to apply the contents of the patch.

I’m almost done with the primary list of the 2nd run and even started with the backup list – so it all should be wrapped up soon. Turns out I got more black PCBs than I ordered so there will probably be a few spares left, I should be able to fulfill all preorders.
After that I’m taking a short break to work a bit on software and other projects but I will also attempt to assemble some more GDEMUs in case there is enough demand for the 3rd run. Assuming there is, the plan is to have a bunch of units prepared in advance and ready for shipping well before Xmas – so if you want to get one, keep an eye on this blog  I figure these will trickle out sooner or later anyway so might as well go ahead and make them.
In other news: Both Saturn and the prototype PCB survived connecting together, which is good. PCE is also moving forward, there should be a prototype ready soon. Two actually, one for the console and one to interface with the drive directly to continue analysis.
I’ve also recently decided to go ahead and try KOS for the GDEMU menu, it seems most/all of what I need is under BSD type license. If any problems arise later I can always revert to my own libs.

EA chief operating officer Peter Moore has paid tribute to the Sega Dreamcast as it celebrates its 15th anniversary in the US today.
Sega's final console launched on September 9, 1999 in North America and Moore was president of Sega America at the time.
<figure style='background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); font: 14px/23.79px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; width: 460px; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; white-space: normal; position: relative; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;' class="responsive single-article__canvas single-article__canvas--full zoomhover" title="" data-media992="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324574_460.jpg" data-media768="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324574_700.jpg" data-media480="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324574_480.jpg" data-media="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324574_320.jpg"> </figure>Now the COO of EA, Moore took to Twitter to post his thoughts on the launch of the console, which continues to enjoy a cult following to this day.
"I trust my employers here at EA will allow me the indulgence of reminiscence and nostalgia on this day, 09/09/14, the 15th anniversary of the launch of the Dreamcast here in North America on the wonderfully numerically-correct date of 09/09/99", Moore wrote.
"It certainly doesn't feel like fifteen years have gone by since this innovative console ushered in the era of online gaming, albeit through a 56K modem, and thus changed the face of interactive entertainment forever.
<figure style='background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); font: 14px/23.79px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0.45em 0px 20px 20px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; width: 230px; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; float: right; display: block; white-space: normal; position: relative; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;' class="responsive single-article__canvas single-article__canvas--big single-article__canvas--offset zoomhover" title="" data-media992="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324575_320.jpg" data-media768="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324575_320.jpg" data-media480="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324575_480.jpg" data-media="http://cdn.medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/dir_3245/image_324575_320.jpg"> </figure>"The memories of course are bittersweet - we all know how this movie ended - but I was fortunate to have worked at that time with some of the most amazingly dedicated individuals, all of whom were galvanised around a single goal: prove the naysayers wrong, launch the console with a bang, get to a meaningful install base within the first twelve months, and keep the momentum going in the face of stiff competition.
"We still get together as a team from time to time, and oh the stories we could tell. Lots of coulda shoulda woulda, but primarily pride in our accomplishments and the legacy we firmly believe can be seen and felt in gaming to this day.
"With the Dreamcast's online capabilities, we coined a phrase 'we're taking gamers where gaming is going'. In our heart of hearts we were worried that we would not be there for the entire journey, but it was with great pride that with our Sega Sports games in particular, we ushered in the era of connected interactive entertainment.
"I don't think it is an overstatement to say that the Dreamcast and its online network laid the ground for what we all take for granted today: online gameplay, linking innumerable gamers from around the world to play, compete and collaborate, as well as enabling new content to be delivered in addition to that which was delivered on the disc."
The Dreamcast sold a total of 10.6 million consoles worldwide before Sega pulled out of the hardware business and focused solely on creating third-party games for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

Splitting hairs! (I would say a good friend of mine xD). The DC-SWAT team have released a new version of the essential DreamShell, fixing several bugs while optimizing other aspects! for this version stands CDDA support even from the SD !! To do this, they have developed a new technique for asynchronous loading of information: the main charge is a bit slower, but in return gets to play with a lot more fluidity in games, and music! Os leave you with a crappy Google Translator of changelog in the enlarged news ... and a video of Alexander (using it with HDD). Hey, that's something !! : D

This time, we feature the second issue of the Official Sega Magazine that was releases in February of 1994.
Keep in mind that when you come across pages that seem to have the wrong number compared what it says in the file name, this is not due to a mistake during the creation of the digital version. But instead a problem that seems to have occurred while putting the original magazine together before going to press. Everything has been kept in place and is representative of physical copy of this magazine.
Now let us take a look at the previews for this issue:
We begin with a look at the feature for Castlevania Bloodlines, followed by one for Sonic 3. Then we have a look at the Sega Multi-Mega/CDX. And finally we look at reviews for both WWF Rage in the Cage and Castlevania Bloodlines.

In facebook Isotope (the creators of Hypertension) ask if they want to see their new creation "Slave" on Dreamcast.
The game looks great, and the art style is fantastic. Hopefully out.

Look guys (and gals?), the backup list is not infinite. I closed the preorders for a reason – there are only so many GDEMU units to be made in this run and that’s it. One person asks for my mail and a day later I get more than 20 late preorders. And this is in addition to the people already on the list.
I got a bit of a house remodeling going on right now, this will last up to 2 weeks. Thanks to that the cold I caught has gotten worse and now I’m pretty much ouf ot action. This week is probably not going to be very productive. Also, I’m not checking my gmail as often now.
So, with all that in mind, I’m going to change the payment and shipping rules a bit, at least for now. So far I’ve only send payment request when I had something to sell packed away in a box, or I knew it could be ready in few hours. This approach has a drawback I already explained – if people are late with answering (or worse, don’t answer at all), you all have to wait more for your turn. From now on I will issue more requests then I have units ready, this will allow for faster shipping at the risk of some of you having to wait up to a week or so between paying and shipping. If you’re unhappy with it I can always return the money instead, all you need is ask.
One last thing – I’ve been asked, again, to host or join a forum. I don’t do that. There’re a lot of people out there with good ideas (or what they think are good ideas) but zero knowledge and/or experience, coupled with even shorter temper than I have, not to mention poor communication skills. So basically it’s an explosive mixture, and the fireworks are fun but a waste of time. In other words, I could be spending time on forums, or I could be working on my projects. Take your pick.

Spot the differences:
Black PCB will be available soon. I’m sorry but there is no choice of what you’ll get – unless you ordered 2 units and received only 1 so far, but in that case you got my mail and decided already. Other than PCB mask color the units are identical, all v5.3 models.
I’ve resumed shipping but after this unplanned pause people stopped checking their mail and/or PayPal account and respond only after a few days – which means I’m sitting on a bunch of units but can’t sell to another person until a week passes, since obviously I need to give the original buyer some time to act. This is partly my fault to begin with so again, I apologise. I’m about 50% done but I’ve ordered some more PCBs and parts to try and cover all the backup list entries.

Hello everyone, today I announce the public release of the new Open GL API for KOS that I have been working on!
I want to say thank you to those who have been following, and encouraging me along the way.
Also, thank you to the creators and maintainers of KOS, for allowing such things to be possible.
You will need the latest version of KOS for this API, as the API has introduced changes to KOS along the way.
You can get the library here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/cadcdev/libgl/ci/master/tree/
And the example code here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/cadcdev/kal...dreamcast/kgl/
Initially, my plan was to create a faster implementation of the API, and a better Z clipping mechanism.
That has certainly been accomplished, every vertex here is being run through my Z clipping algorithm:
However, I realized some more things could be done. I added Dynamic Vertex Lighting:
And Render-To-Texture is also now a part of the API:

Back again with some more Sega Saturn love courtesy of the official Sega Saturn Magazine.
Let's take a look at issue 17 from March of 2017.
Our first preview is for a fan favourite racing game that sadly never left the arcades: Scud Race. We then take another in-depth look at Fighters Megamix as well as the newly converted arcade racer Manx TT Superbike.
And for the final preview of this issue we look at Hexen by Probe Entertainment.
This issue of OSSM also marks the first release with the new calibration settings that we've been talking about in the forums. You might notice that the colour values now are much more representative of the look of the actual magazine, while retaining the vibrant look that makes the original magazine shine.
From here on out we will remaster the back catalogue and release them one set at a time, so keep an eye out for these much improved versions in the coming months.
