Hummm i see in that period a great development of emu for PSP, and too much email on forum of psp argouments , i have fear wich all the coders abandon the DREAMCAST emulation, =| the PSP is beautiful machine, ma this is a site only DREAMCAST, more post people, the DREAMCAST is the NUMBER ONE ;).
Dont' kill the DREAMCAST!!!
one has nothing to do with the other. the only problem is that wraggster does not run seperate forums, so the psp forum pushes all the DC stuff out of the way for the newer things. For some reason the psp forum users have already made more threads than all the DC forums put together on this site. On the other hand they have much fewer posts per thread, which shows lots of threads with little content, as opposed to in the DC sections where we have specific things that are discussed in contained topics.
anyways, i don't know of a single dc devver who has decided to leave the DC for the psp. It just seems like so much is happening mostly because there are pretty much daily releases of these emulator ports, with very little update, as opposed to with the DC where we may have monthly or yearly updates that bring lots of bugfixes, speedups, and extra features.
there is a xbox coder that is now coding for the psp, but i don't think any dc coders have yet.
as for the forum issue, we are going to (try) and fix that, but not by having different forums. i think we can sort something out ;)
Well this is a multi-console forum so you'd expect lots of posts about the newer consoles that run homebrew, think of it this way...
in a couple of years time (even less probably), the newest console that's hacked to play such things will get loads of posts from the excited fanboys, what console? - your guess is as good as mine.
There'll still be the hardcore DC coders working away with whatever free time they get along with the other system coders, don't believe me?, check out Atariage before you answer.
I am sure that coders still working for Dreamcast.....
Dreamcast has more to offer...You can see that in some emulators which are not perfect.
If i was a coder and i knew something more in pc's i would work for Dc.Thats for sure.
The PSP is just now gaining the abilty to homebrew on the more popular/most common release software. So its constantly being hit on. I have my PSP running NES and SNES which is what I wanted but its a hand held and will not replace the DC. I would like to start coding and the DC and XBOX will be where I start. The PSP is great, don't get me wrong I love it, but frankly its got enough coders and well, one they are finished I will have what I want out of it, the DC is where I would like to see revival and the XBOX section here...well no one seems to be to active there...
I doubt DC EMU Coding is going anywhere. Yes the PSP is really popular right now, but again its just really been started where everyone can run homebrew and like the DC before it everyone wanted to learn how, but when that dies down in another month or two I think it will stillbe popular but the constant arrival of new people only to ask how to do things will disappear.....But the DC will STILL be here *Evil Grin*
I pretty much lost my interest in posting here these days... I somewhat went back to DCEmulation.com
I used to think Sony pays a lot of people to post about the PSP in the VG and retro scene's forums but judging from the posts itself...
But you can do it. :DQuote:

I you remember a simerly thing happend with X-Box, once it was hacked there was a sudden rush of emulaters and stuff, That also happend with dreamcast and is happening with PSP at the moment, in about 6 months time it will calm down.
DC coding is going no where as you can professionly publish homemade games on DC and you can't do that with PSP.
