Well, that's my website ;D (I'm Pablo)

It doesn't say much more than what they've translated... Miguel Angel also said that he was doing most of his work with a coders cable, which has made the process a little bit slower and that he was gonna stop workin on the emu for a couple of weeks as he's got exams. He also mentioned that Chanka will be released on June or July

Hoped that was of help

Thanks for telling us

Great interview btw, we would like to thank Miguel for his work

I would like to know more about the Dreamcast Party so i can post a big newspost and promote it for you

Thank You very much for your good words.
I couldn't wait anymore time without telling you that the info you 've got is right and well translated. Miguel Angel will be away for holidays some days and close to the end of may, it's time for exams all over the country, so. all the stundets are blending their brains for that cause..he he ;-). Anyway his main problem resides in the communications with the DC, for his opinnion with a BroadBand Adapter will be able to reduce the development time to 1/4 of the time usign the coders-cable.That's a waste of time, then I'm sure if some of you wants to donate or sell a BBA, should be OK.

Now Chanka can load some games, but the Chanka is in a very early proccess of development. One thing that can be interesting for you, is that the Chanka needs and uses the bios for loading software. Also a Flash Ram -16 is needed in order to get a right emulation. Graphics are still poor but now a friend of M.A. is preparing the development of the audio.

For our DCParty we're ansious until the day of the Ferial. Greetings to all. See You soon !!!!

The Dreamcast Party will be an expo dedicated to dreamcast mainly (lil bit obvious, isn't it? ^^). There will be some labs dedicated to programming, dclinux, etc. and some contests of course. Besides the dreamcast stuff, there will be a special section of the expo dedicated to the powerful and almighty GP32.
It will be held on Madrid on May 29th. There's a 700 person limit

If you need any further info, just ask
