• March 2013 - DCEmu Turns 9 Years Old and Still Going Strong

    Its Now March 2013 and DCEmu the Homebrew & Gaming Network is now 9 Years old. I actually started the sites back in 2002 but joined them under the DCEmu name back in 2004 when the site was foremost a Dreamcast Site, since then we have expanded and cover all homebrew scenes as new consoles come into play. To make sure the site gets back to what it does best i have merged the discussion forums and unmerged all the news forums, which for everyone makes for a better reading experiance, no one wants to search for PS2 news on a PS3 merged news forum because it takes ages to find it. Also this month we have launched new sites for PS4, GCW Zero and also an Open Source Handhelds website. Thanks for visiting DCEmu and please join in the discussion and remember if you are a coder then you can upload to our forum instead of using crappy internet upload sites.

    The NPD Group has released its monthly US retail report for July, confirming a year over year decline in spending for the eighth month in a row.
    Total industry spending was down 20 per cent, coming in at $548.4m compared to $686.3m during July 2011.
    NPD, seemingly prepping us for today’s results, released a report yesterday on digital sales suggesting the department saw a year over year growth of 17 per cent.
    Hardware was down 32 per cent at $150.7m against $221.4m in July 2011. Xbox 360 claimed the peak position for the 19th month running moving 203,000 consoles, but sales across all hardware except for the 3DS saw a decline compared to the year before.
    Accessories again were up (eight per cent) thanks to Activision’s Skylanders IP. Over 25m figures have been sold since October of last year.
    Software sales were down 23 per cent, at $278.2m versus $338.5m during the same period a year prior.
    NCAA Football 13 was the only July release to make the software charts, grabbing the top spot over last month’s winner Lego Batman 2. From the chart:
