• 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 pan-European PEGI games ratings will be made legally enforceable in just a matter of weeks.
    An update from trade body UKIE today says the ratings will become law on July 23rd.
    There has been a number of delays around getting the self-regulation marks to become a legal requirement - abolishing the BBFC's remit over games - for sometime.
    It was first recommended that the PEGI labels were made law five years ago.
    But the UK Government started to process to legally endorse PEGI when parliament reconvened last month.
    UKIE - previously known as ELSPA - and its members have been on a campaign to see the legal process through.
    Not only that, they will also kick off a range of promotional efforts to raise awareness about the ratings to the public.
    Making PEGI law would mean that retailers could face prosecution or a fine if selling 12, 16 and 18 rated games to those under those ages.
