I’ve been getting more and more emails from people who bought and tested 64GB+ cards. It occured to me that rather than having to retype this every time I should just make a public post.
Yes, I know SDXC cards work. If formatted to FAT32 that is, preferably with SD Formatter. However, GDEMU was not designed with that in mind and while it seems to work for most people, for some it just might not. I cannot test every brand and model of SD cards, and there are some that don’t behave nicely (like the Transcend Class 10’s) and there’s nothing I can do about it. I don’t want people buying expensive high-capacity cards only to learn they don’t work well, or at all. Therefore the official support ends with 32GB SDHC cards and it’ll stay that way. If you feel lucky and want to try something bigger, you’re on your own.
Obviously for bigger cards the current limit of 64 folders is too low. I’m going to skip the usual rant on design choices I’ve made – you want the limit to be 99+, you can get it. For a price. Right now GDEMU does a prescan of the card folders and can gracefully skip holes in numbering. With more folders both the prescan and the storage of results get too costly, so will have to go. Scanning on keypress would introduce too much lag with many folders, so basically it would become a dumb “try N+1, wrap back to 1 if it doesn’t exist”.
USB support, long filenames, breakfast making – not coming in foreseeable future. Don’t bug me about it.

For those who know me know ive been a fan of emulation for 20 years or more, the reason i started a videogames website was purely because i like to play emulators of old consoles on a single device.
Recently the homebrew/emulation scene has been stagnant, no real breakthroughs means that the best way is to buy a device that is made for emulation fans like myself, i reviewed the JXD S7300 Android Tablet and for a fan like me i loved it. The Android tablet was for me perfect, the mixing of old style controls and touchscreen inside an Android OS and with Gamecenter X you could download games onto your console with no messing around, the console/tablet game with Android/N64/Megadrive/Arcade/GBA and Nes Emulators with games built in, beyond awesome.
But JXD since then have brought out a new and improved JXD S7800b Gaming Tablet which features PS1, MAME, Dreamcast, N64, NeoGeo, Atari, NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, SEGA Master System, SEGA Mega Drive, CPS1, CPS2, Amiga, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum Emulation to name just a few, am i salivating ?, hell yes.
The JXD S7800b Gaming Tablet has a 7" 1280x800 IPS 5 Point Multi-Touch Capacitive Screen, RockChip RK3188 QuadCore 1.8GHz CPU - 2GB DDR3 RAM - 8GB Memory, Network Wi-Fi(802.11 b/g/n), External Ethernet，3G with Dongle and runs Android 4.2.2 Jellybean OS.
So this Android Tablet runs one of the latest versions of the Android OS plus comes built in with all them emulators and you can do what you would expect from a normal Android Tablet.
If i can snag one for review ill put it through its paces but for now check out the JXD S7800B at Funstock in the UK

The House Of The Dead Protection
using part of recently dumped prototype HOTD2 bios we was able to bypass Naomi bios checksumm protection!
that means region-free or any other customization is possible now.
also confirmed working on Sega System SP (AKA Aurora), Dreamcast on the way.
thanks to all who helped in testing on real hardware.

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.

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.

September 9th, 2014, 22:55 Posted By: wraggster
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:
