DCParticlez, an interactive technical demo for the Dreamcast, has been released. This demo displays a blast of particles onto the screen, from the bottom up, like fireworks. There are several factors that can be controlled in regards to the particles flying. You can adjust the max life (the maximum number of frames a particle can stay onscreen), gravity (the amount a particle's Y position is changed), size (the size of particles in pixels (square)), frameskip (the number of frames to wait before creating particles), Intensity (how many particles are created at one time). There is a display on the screen that displays the number of particles onscreen at the given time, and the X and Y coordinates of the particle's origin.

Some great news for Dreamcast Homebrew Developers:
Holly is a 3D engine SDK for the Dreamcast and is build on top of KOS 1.3.x (KallistiOS). It is implemented in C++, with some amount of SH4 assembly. The main developer of Holly3D is Heinrich Tillack. You can get in contact with him via E-mail info(at)tillack.org.
History - from Iris3d to Holly: In 2002 I added Triangle Strips clipping and IMD animation with vertex interpolation to Iris3D V0.7 by Olivier Chatry. Olivier the author of Iris3D included the patches into Iris3D V0.9.1. Which is the last official version of Iris 3D. In 2003 I started to modifiy this C++ code just for fun! Since 2003 I replaced (rewrote) around 95% of the C++ code, so I called the SDK Holly and NOT Iris-3D V2 as I thought before. Too much has changed - compared to Iris3D. I used the modified 3d engine for my own game projects (like DCASTLE). So here it is. Stay tuned for the upcoming release....

After reading the great comments in this topic about strengthening the development side of the Dreamcast community, I wrote a few php scripts to facilitate some of the ideas, and set it up on Dream On.
The Developer's Hub is intended for anyone interested in Dreamcast development. This includes programmers, artists, musicians, and writers. At the moment, there is an automated system for placing help wanted ads for people with the skills to hook up with people looking for people with those skills to get projects done.
http://dreamon.cyberdogcastle.com/Main/DevelopersHub
There is also a developer's reflections section, where people who worked on a project can write about their experiences regarding that project.
Please let me know your thoughts about this idea, as well as any way that it could be improved.

The promise of Dream On Magazine has been around in one form or another since October 2002, with the discussion of a professionally pressed Dreamcast Demo Disc.
The promise will finally become a reality on September 18, 2005 at the DreamCon 2005 at the East Coast Gaming Expo.
The magazine will come with an included demo CD (entitled "The Sandman" to avoid confusion with Official Dreamcast Magazine UK's DreamOn Demo Discs - thanks to impetus for the name ).
The magazine will go on sale first at the expo, and will be available for sale online after that. Depending on the sales of the first magazine, the future of the magazine will be decided. At this time such frequently asked questions will be addressed: whether it will be monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, whether subscriptions will be available, and if any additional writers for the magazine are required.
Thanks for your support of this idea over the years. I'm glad to be announcing that it's finally going to become a reality. 
If you have any further questions or comments about the magazine and the demo disc, please let me know at the Official Dream On Magazine and Demo Disc Forum.

The Cool Herders Status Forum has been updated with videos of the commercial version of Cool Herders in action. For those who don't know, Cool Herders is a party game where you have to collect as many sheep as possibly while keeping your opponents from collecting their share of sheep. The game was originally released as part of the DCTonic collection disc that was passed out at E3 2001, and later updated in 2003. There are several differences between the released demo, and the commercial release:
* Single Player "story mode" tells the tale of Zeus and his sheep, Chrys, hunting down Iskur the storm lord and trying to retrieve his sheep!
* Six worlds (plus unlockable  )
* Six different herders (plus unlockable )
* Animated stages
* Full soundtrack (or at least better than the single tune )
* Options to tweak gameplay (to replicate the original demo or use all the new features)
All of these are subject to change, and may or may not appear in the final commercially released game.

This CD image contains the classic First Person Shooter 'Marathon' created by Bungie software, also included are the two sequel games 'Marathon 2: Durandal', and 'Marathon: Infinity'. Many of the newer gaming generation will know Bungie Software for their later game HALO for the X-Box, all the older gamers will know that here's where HALO's origins started.
Bero's port of Aleph One to the Dreamcast is used so please note that you need a DC keyboard to play the games (you'll also need a controller to navigate the CD menu). Sadly, Bero's port was left at an early stage without VMU save support, but it still stands as a good example of the Dreamcast being a great platform for classic game engine ports.
Enjoy some free FPS action from DC Evolution:

BlueCrab has successfully hacked the Dreamcast microphone, he posted in this topic at dcemulation.com
<blockquote>
Well, this evening (heh, evening), I've managed to successfully hack together some code to access/use the Dreamcast Microphone (the one you'd get with Seaman). More info will be forthcoming in the morning, when I get up.
I'd like to leave you with this little sound clip I recorded off my mic:
http://www.ljsdcdev.net/dcmic2.ogg
This sound clip is what I believe to be the 2nd ever thing recorded off of a dreamcast mic using homebrew code.</blockquote>

It was just over a year ago that i started this site to post news on the Nintendo DS and any happenings surrounding it, since then theres been a mass of Demos and homebrew games and some awesome hacks and advancements. The Passme and WifiMe are two of the highlights of the year.
This site in its old state was tired and in need of a shake up and a more professional look. We now have a great new IRC page that links you to the DCEmu chat channel and every single bit of homebrew and emulation news is posted on this site, we also have a direct connection to the forums with the news so comments can be easily seen and responded too.
We have over 100 releases for the Nintendo DS Scene on site and are always looking to find any missed releases (so let us know)
Keep on visiting for the ultimate in Nintendo DS Emulation and Homebrew news, check out the site here --> http://nintendo-ds.dcemu.co.uk

The Free BOR Project is a project to promote more original Beats of Rage modifications outside of the usual mods using illegal copyrighted material. You will find graphics, music, and sounds which are free to use for any reason, other than commercial projects.
You will not only find original creations, but also graphics based on famous material which has been released into the public domain. This project has just begun, but to give you an idea of what kind of graphics will be available, there is a still graphic of Tom (Doc) Strange, from Nader/AC Comics on the Free BOR Project page:
http://dreamon.cyberdogcastle.com/freebor/
There is a submission form on the site for you to submit your own legal material for public use.
Please post any feedback about this idea here.
