Many of you will know i used to have an Interview site with Great Interviews with Coders from many Homebrew Scenes.
Well with that in mind, im going to try something unique and whilst it may fail  it is something that ive never seen done before and thats a mass interview of all the members and thats 40,000 + members  , whats going to happen is that ill ask maybe 10- 12 questions, one a day over a 2 week period to see who we are and what we love about emulation and homebrew.
So to start the ball rolling (remember never give personal info out unless you feel safe doing so) ill ask a question and answer it myself then its over to you the members of the only Console Homebrew Network in the world.
Question #1 - Can you tell us about yourself, where you're from, and about your job, school, etc?
(yes easy one to start but it lets people know about you)
Well im the webmaster of a group of sites now totalling 18 (mad git), ive been a fan and more of emulation and homebrew since at least 1997.
I am from the city of Nottingham in the UK, famous for Robin Hood, Torvill and Dean and Nottingham Forest and sadly Gun Crime capital of the UK (it seems that way anyway).
Went to school at 2 sites in probably the roughest part of the city but on the whole enjoyed school but was glad to be rid of it .
For my job ive been a Gardener on an award winning park for nearon 18 years (i am 34 btw) and whilst i enjoy my job i cant see me doing it for years to come.
So thats my answers, feel free to join in this experiment of a mass interview on the DCEmu Network, answer via the comments.

Metafox already posted this but i feel that it deserves a post here at DCEmu Uk too:
The Sandman demo disc will include a set of binary loaders that will allow for shareware to be sold via the internet, and unlocked on the disc, so that the customer will get a regular physical professionally pressed CD, rather than a digital download.
It's a set of loaders that are in place for a commercial purchasing system. The system displays a set of demos. If the proper code is inputted (which is given by purchasing the game via the dreamonmagazine.com website), the loader saves a file to the VMU, and the demo becomes the full game. The loader then can either start from The Sandman magazine disc normally, or start from the purchased game automatically like a regular commercial game. If the user purchases more than one software item, and chooses the option to start the game like a commercial game without showing the Dream On menu, a seperate game menu will be loaded, and the user will be able to choose which games he wishes to play from that list. The binary loaders can also show a seperate menu for a particular coder if that coder chooses to release a lot of shareware on Dream On, and wishes to have a compilation-style menu of their programs on the disc.
The magazine-disc style distribution will allow the games to be sold at a much lower price than the standard distribution prices. A cost of just a couple dollars for a game could be possible, as the percentage that a coder would have to pay Dream On for the services will be quite low as well.
The first issue of Dream On will include the loaders hidden within the Beneath a Steel Sky entry on The Sandman disc, so that a demo of the shareware binary loaders can be shown to any coder who is interested.
If anyone has any comments, questions, or suggestions about this - please feel free to leave them in this topic.

"It is spring now but you wouldn't know it due to the strange climate we've had recently. However soon we will be able to see the cherry blossoms.
Weekly G.rev communication.
We are very happy with the sales of Under Defeat. It sold so well that it sold out! So we have made a small 2nd print run of the regular version. The limited Edition version is sold out. "
Great to hear that now even more people will be able to experience this awesome title.

The guys ove at Got Next have reviewed the latest excellent selling Under Defeat Game, heres an excerpt from that review:
Rumored to be the final release for Sega's tenacious last console, Under Defeat pushes the aging hardware to new heights. Set in an alternate reality resembling the WWII era, replete with some stylish retro designs, it can be a sight to behold. The level of detail is unprecedented, with screen-shaking explosions that scatter debris across the screen, leaving trails of black smoke as flaming wreckage slams apart as it collides with ground. A far cry from the small "popcorn" explosions that litter most shooters, Under Defeat's intense effects pack a gratifying whallop that makes you feel good about the havoc you've wreaked. It's hard not to smile with satisfaction as you watch a massive battleship explode, smolder and then sink into the sea as the water sent upward in the blast trickles back down, spattering off your helicopter's rotors. It's these fine brushstrokes that make the action a joy to behold. Indeed, I would say that Under Defeat could well be the most visually stunning game in its genre, on any platform.
This is an excellent review of an awesome Dreamcast Game, if you liked Thunderblade then you are in for a treat, check out the full review here --> http://www.got-next.com/features_read.php?id=342

It would appear that Konami has given a shout-out to the dance game for the Dreamcast that was inspired by Konami's own Dance Dance Revolution games: Feet of Fury.
In Harmonix's and Konami's Karaoke Revolution Party, if you get a platinum record (20000 or more) on the sing and dance mode (microphone + dancemat combo) on expert , you get a trophy that says "Feet of Fury".
The font that is used in the logo is an exact duplicate of the Feet of Fury logo.
You can see a screen capture I took with a digital camera, and read comments by Dan Potter of Cryptic Allusion (the makers of Feet of Fury) in this thread on the Cryptic Allusion forums.

According to G.Rev's latest magazine entry (here, or you can see the babelfish translation here), the regular edition of Under Defeat has completely sold out and they've had to do a reprint. Apparently, there's not many of the limited edition left either. This appears to have come as a bit of a shock to them!
Wow, we knew that Under Defeat did well,(was No1 in sega's "Sega Direct" shop in their charts, when released). But SOLD OUT.... Thats cazy!
Things are look good for the Dreamcast (well in japan at least)

News from Dreamcast Scene:
In an interview with the Tech Digest(approve sites) website, Sega Europe CEO Mike Hayes was asked about rumors of a comeback of the Dreamcast?. His reply was short and clear : "There are no plans for Dreamcast to make a comeback."
So there you have it. If DC fan's had any new hope after the great sales of Under Defeat, they can let it go now. But at least our beloved console is still alive after all these years!

Sega Saturn News is happy to host the files for Rockin-Bs excellent Sega Saturn Homebrew Roms Site, heres more info:
This is THE THING for people who want to play Saturn homebrew. There are over 80 Atlas Game Packs available for download, with screenshot, thumbnail, short description and further info. Most people will not know most of the demos and games there, simply because noone would have ever burned 80 CDs to try them out.
Make your selection, download the AGPs you like and create your very own Saturn compilation using Atlas Creator! Just put the AGPs into the AGP subfolder of Atlas Creator and hit MakeIso.bat. It's really that simple!
And by the way: it turns you Saturn into a retro gaming jukebox. I've spent much time to create all these AGPs, the screenshots, the descriptions and stuff and I've even recorded some very nice and popular Mega Drive game tunes which are played back in the main menu.
I've already burned 3 different discs for my personal use, hehe. (of course everything fit's on just two CDs, the third one is my latests The Rockin'-B All Stars).
People already know the bootloader Atlas and that it can be used to create Saturn CDs (with up to 50 games on, presented with some nice menu) like The Rockin'-B All Stars and C4 2005 CD. But it's been rather difficult to create those discs, for the average user.
Now Atlas Creator is out for Windows and MacOS X (and *nix, as it comes with source). It introduces the concept of Atlas Game Packs which is similar to SBI files for Dreamcast. The tool can create Atlas Game Packs and from a collection of such AGPs, it can create Saturn CD images with one or multiple games on and it can even create a HTML website showing all details of your AGP collection. This feature is used to create the Atlas Game Packs website.
Included in the distribution are 4 skins/themes which effect the look of the main Atlas menu on Saturn. Two of them have been created by Arnold (thanks a lot!), one is MacOS X like and the fourth one is that of The Rockin'-B All Stars.
Check out the Atlas Game Packs Website Here --> http://www.rockin-b.de/saturn-atlasgamepacks.html
