how sad am I, I'm sitting here at my pc, the baby's in bed, and wow i feel like i'm 21 again, sitting at my old laptop (B+W MITEC 486) getting the nes emu to work, and feeling like the preverbial dog with 10 balls!!! You know that feeling you get when you get an emu that you have wanted to see for years, and when you pop it into the DC and it works GREAT, the elation, then outside to blacken ones lungs with niccoteine and tar!!!
I cant wait to play this, CAN YOU TELL!!!!!! I think its just that feeling...Like christmas when I was growing up in cold old Newcastle, the christmas when I got my portable and my ZX spectrum, me and my brother playing it all day christmas and boxing day. Then we got into consoles, the coleco, then the SMS then the NES ahhhhh those were T' days. I miss them, as I know many of the *AHEM* older guys in here do. The thing that keeps me coming back day after day to DCEMU is that I feel among friends, to be among people who share my passion, and what more can you say? It is a passion, its been a hell of a ride. I dont get nearly as much time these days, not like those heady school hols, sitting with your pals in front of the C64 all competing on winter games and summer games. Now as I digress, I just want to thank everyone who spends thier own quality time coding these little wonders for us, my heartfelt thanks people, not only for helping me relive those days, lost in the intoxicating rush of nostalgia, but for showing the rest of the world how serious we really are about Sega's little white gem...Encore...Encore, you know who you are, take a bow.

I know its like the old waiting for a bus analogy, but instead of 3 theres loads, but like I say its a credit to the dedication of the coders in the DC scene wouldnt you agree? I'm off to blacken the old lungs again!! I cant take this, I dont normally smoke this much!!!

We're making some new changes to the DC Release, during the day will be released if everything seems to be OK, while you can go running Linux or Windows Version in order to test MKCache, Enjoy and dont forget to tell us if it does work fine.

I've just been onto chui's page and although the dreamcast version is highlighted it just sends you around in a loop, with no download, weep, wail, sob etc
