News from Dreamcast Scene:
This is a very urgent info for all who wanted to come to this weekend's Retrogamers 2006 in Ludwigshafen / Germany. The Retrogamers staff reported that their 2006 issue of the event won't going to attent at this weekend! The event was postponed due sever problems with the locations which couldn't be solved in time. Very sad indeed, since we wanted to present our latest project at an own booth there. But let's look forward and see what's going to happen.

DCIberia have posted the release of a new emulator for the Dreamcast, heres the info:
Translated via Google:
As many already you know, for about 8 months I have been carrying Quasi88 SDL (Emulator of PC88) to Dreamcast and right now the emulator compiles and it is executed but at the moment I have not been able to make draw the BASIC, although menus GTK work perfectly in Dreamcast, and reason why coat in sure in some thing I am forming something bad or video or CPU.
I have decided to publish source and a binary one in case somebody wishes to continue working with the emulator. Its beginning is almost more complex that to carry it in himself and many of the instructions and code is in Japanese, reason why much becomes difficult, even so it requires of a last one superficially and surely that if somebody continues it will end up working fixed.

News from Lik Sang
Considering the fact that the rotor of a real-life helicopter is just held in place by one bolt only (referred to by pilots as the "Jesus Bolt"), we are happy that G.Rev's lastest Dreamcast port lets us take to the skies without risking our necks in the effort. Coming straight from the Arcades, Under Defeat is more than just another NAOMI title gone SEGA home console. Judging by its crisp full-3D visual splendor, the smooth and addictive gameplay plus a pumping soundtrack that drives you ever on bringing airborne, sea and ground forces to a detonating halt, this horizontal action shooter is about to become a classic in its own right. Hot on the heels of the recently released Radilgy on planet DC, we were all the more excited to finally receive Under Defeat today, fully aware that the long anticipation period will now turn into long nights of machine gun rifles dodging mayhem.
Under Defeat is in stock and shipping within 24 hours, while all preorders are covered. New orders are certainly very welcome. The Limited Edition also got in, which includes the original soundtrack CD, a B4 sized poster and an exclusive sticker in addition to the game. So far, we could only collect enough stock for preorders but we are trying to gather more in order to satisfy some additional purchases. Stay tuned on that.
Allowing for perfect ports of Arcade originals definitely is and always has been one of the Dreamcast's main strengths. Developer G.Rev (responsible for an earlier DC port of their shooter highlight Border Down), after introducing Under Defeat into Japanese Arcades in late October 2005, has again produced a 100% transfer of the original to the 128-bits SEGA system. While they were at it, G.Rev included several modes and set-up options on top of that, allowing players to choose different display versions. Freely select a stage in Practice mode for example and save replays right there. This footage can then be analyzed to improve your skills, getting farther along on just one credit as you progress. Lots of pictures, artwork and more got stashed into a Gallery mode for you to view when you need a short break from the challenging shooter action.
Exclusive to the home version is also an arranged BGM mode, where G.Rev offers some extended versions of tracks that say it all in terms of troubled skies ahead: "Toward a mistake", "Huge dead end" and "Tears which died" to just name a few. You
Traditional 2D gameplay meets with fantastic three-dimensional backdrops, ensuring a very realistic feel across all five stages in Under Defeat. Controls are a very easy grasp, mastering the game will still require your full dedication: moving the stick will let you steer your copter around the screen, where you can hold one button to rotate your heli somewhat to get a better shooting angle at the military onslaught. Reminiscent of Zero Gunner 2, this adds a twist to the standard horizontal shooter take of similar games. Here, you have the choice between a "Normal" and "Reverse" option in order to set your preferences. Arsenal-wise, two face buttons unleash a steady stream of bullets (vulcan, cannon or rocket) or drop bombs. Then, there is an in-game mechanic simply called "Option". If you refrain from shooting for a while, a meter located in the lower left part of your HUD fills up and when ready, allows you to deploy an optional shooting device, which will fly alongside your machine, aiding in combat. This cool little helper can also be launched straight into enemies and has a timer, that lets your fighting buddy expire after some time. A cooldown exists also, so you've got to wait a bit before being able to whip out the next one.
Under Defeat is without a doubt one of the best genre representatives that ever existed. In case this would indeed be the last title to be released for Dreamcast (although we definitely hope for more to come!), we can't think of a better game to render SEGA's last console its swan song. See, it's not just for fans of the Dreamcast or enthusiasts of a somewhat now neglected game category. The superb shooter that Under Defeat is, seems to combine the best the genre has to offer, it's honestly that good. If you are looking for a quick-reflexes demanding challenge, a quality game for your Dreamcast or simply an action title with gorgeous graphics and great gameplay, we absolutely recommend you don't miss it.

News From the Senile team:
This video was actually intended for Retrogamers 2006 in Ludwigshafen, Germany, but it seems this event has been postponed. Therefore, instead of waiting for a new date to be set for Retrogamers 2006, we're publising the video right here. So I guess that's bad news for the German retrogamers, but good news for the rest of you.
This video reveals some more of the game's features and game play, as well as a sound track composed by our very own composer, Ben "Black Device" Boahene. Enjoy!

Imerion has updated his Stickman type game written in fenix, this release should run faster because the graphics have been scaled down.
Heres what he posted:
Here is an updated version. It should run fast enough now, since I scaled down the graphics. I also removed all attempts at saving. For now, it keeps the highscore until the games is exited.

Dreamcast Scene posted this informative article:
Famitsu got their hands on the final version of Under Defeat for the Dreamcast and the four editors rated it with an 8 / 6 / 7 / 6 which makes a total of 27/40. To compare this to other Famitsu ratings: Trizeal got 6 / 7 / 6 / 6 (total 25/40) and Radirgy 6 / 6 / 5 / 6 (total 23/40). But remember. The ratings of Famitsu are controversial because of their very own way of rating and their prejudiced opinions. Nice side info: Under Defeat was indeed published by Sega Japan.

PSMonkey has posted some great news about his Nintendo 64 Emulator for PSP (which is also coming to Dreamcast thanks to GPF), heres what he has posted:
<blockquote>Yep, I've got a secret and I have lied a bit to downplay it. The reason was I did not want to get people overly excited to early but I am slowly feeling confident at the current time. While the secret is not mario64 running it is something that is pushing me close to that. So what is it?
Well since about thursday last week (after the absolute crap demo started working) i've been working my ass off like crazy on rsp emulation. Just yesterday I finaly had my first rdp opcode executed and today have been working my ass off to implement dummy opcodes so I can progress it enough to render out untextured quads.
Are games running? Well no they aren't. Currently I am experimenting with two roms. The first is Mortal Kombat trillogy & the second is the PD rom VNes (nes emu by JL-Picard). Both are calling on the rdp to render and have been a great source to help advance emulation. So what about mario? Well actualy mario is also using the rsp yet is waiting on me to implement vector opcodes. Once I can get mortal kombat playable then I will start up on vector ops in hopes of getting mario up and running soon.
So the big question is, will the 9th release run games? The answer is maybe. If it does it will only be mortal kombat trillogy. Tho once I do get mario64 running a new build will be released.
So that is my big suprise secret. I hope you all enjoy it & pray to the monkey gods I can get mkt running by the 9th.
PS, once I get a fully rendered out screen, I will post pictures.
PS, the RSP/RDP is being done LLE style atm with a pure interpreter (minus the drawing which is piped to the psp gpu, not gonna software render triangles. pfff). This is important as it will let me experiment on the instructions to find a faster method on different parts of the hardware.</blockquote>
Check out the screenshots in this Forum Topic
Things are looking very interesting for both PSP and Dreamcast users (although the Dreamcast has less memory), keep your eyes peeled to both PSMonkey`s and GPF`s) websites for more news on this emulator.

burnerO posted this news:
This may be a tad late, but I've only recently taken to Linux. I was reading a discussion about Selfboot Inducer running under Wine and I thought it worth a shot. I had the best luck getting console apps working, so please gracefully accept this as is.
Be forewarned, this is a bash script and doesn't feature a gui. It is very straightforward to use though and generates nrg images compatible with NeroLINUX. I'm sure most of the Linux snobs will scoff at my not using CDRecord, but it doesn't work in conjunction with my drive under Linux.
Usage:
Install Wine/NeroLINUX
Extract the sbilinux archive
Save SBI files to the sbi directory
Ensure sbilinux is executable
Execute sbilinux and add your roms when prompted
Assuming everything goes as planned, inducer.nrg will be created in the working directory and can be burned using NeroLINUX.
I need to stress the BETA aspect of this. Please submit feedback so that I may improve it.
