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

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:

I am convinced that many of you will have seen in other Dreamcasteras pages, but still, it is imperative that you be informed: D Elysian Shadows, the promising JRPG that takes years to be managed has been on Kickstarter! There are many types of reward, from a simple "Thank crack" the digital purchase of the game (PC and other systems), limited editions ... and much more!
<center><iframe height="360" src="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1945059142/elysian-shadows-next-gen-2d-rpg/widget/video.html" frameBorder="0" width="480" scrolling="no"> </iframe></center>
Possibly what interests us most is that you can "buy" physical edition for Dreamcast from $ 49! Yes, it is estimated that the game will be completed in December 2015. Eye to the data, there are 100 units that will be signed by the developers! : D In just two days they have already achieved $ 38.784 initial goal of $ 150,000 ... wow! You have time until August 31 ! As always, I leave the link below Official website Kickstarter project |

Xump is, for those who do not know it, a fun game where you have to solve 48 levels by cleaning the boxes with our protagonist Xump (hence the name of the game . Made RetroGuru team, and as with the Giana SQRXZ or series, is also multiplatform in many systems. And after 2 weeks present at the fair Retrobörse Rosenheim, Germany, I have to download ABSOLUTELY FREE to our dreamcasts!

Some of you are getting impatient waiting for GDEMU payment request to arrive. Sorry about that – the plan was to do it faster this time around but the recent heat wave has put a stop to it. I have quite a few units assembled in 70% but that’s it. Finishing that, plus cleaning, plus initial program upload, plus testing – that takes time too. You’ll have to wait some more I’m afraid.
About the payment itself, it’s not 100% safe so to speak. I send the payment request from different mail address than the one you used for preordering. In itself it’s nothing strange but it raises the question – how do you know the request actually came from me and not someone else who is about to scam you out of your money. Well, if you have any doubts about that feel free to contact me first to confirm.
Also, do not send money to the preorder address. That email is not registered with PayPal – not only will I not claim that transfer, I have no way of promptly rejecting it either. That means it will be stuck for 30 days in PP system (and returned automatically to you after that time) as well as possibly prevent you from paying when I actually send the request – as you might not have another 100 Euro for that. Remember, I do not take any money up front, only when I actually have the GDEMU unit ready will I send the request. The lower you are on the list the longer that will take.
Lastly, I’ve decided to stop sending the paper inserts warning about possible dangers of installing the screw improperly. All this is explained on the Installation page, you are required to read all of that (and everything else I’ve prepared). In other words, if you manage to damage your Dreamcast or GDEMU because you couldn’t be bothered to read the instructions, I will laugh at you and call you stupid. So that we are clear on that. I’m happy to report that while there have been some minor accidents and issues with GDEMU, so far nothing that would actually break the device and/or console permanently. Please do try to keep it this way from now on as well.

A homebrew software suite for video game consoles developed to help in the evaluation of upscalers, upscan converters, line doublers and of course TV processing of 240p video. The Wii, Dreamcast and GameCube versions have modes for 480i, 288p, 576i and 480p evaluation as well.
It consists of tests designed with the processing of 240p signals in mind, although when possible it includes other video modes and specific tests for them. These have been tested with video processors on real hardware and a variety of displays, including CRTs, PVMs, BVMs and Arcade monitors via RGB.
As a secondary target, the suite aims to provide tools for calibrating colors, geometry, linearity, overscan and black & white levels, for specific console outputs and setups.
