How many of you Dreamcast people, still around?

Most of the stuff that a dreamcast can do the psp can do better and the xbox can do twice as good. So I am not interested in most of homebrew, but I am looking forward to PSX4all since my brothers always hog the xbox.

Ya i plan on getting a modded xbox soon. But the Dreamcast homebrew scene has been a great scene. And I enjoy playin all my homebrew on the big screen.

The Dreamcast actually has a number of advantages which, depending on the person can be extremely important:

Plays homebrew right out of the box.
Can display up to 800x600 via VGA (HDTV connectivity)
Homebrew on it is 99% legal with very few things using illegal devkits (the numbers of which are pretty much reversed on the xbox)
Actually has a fairly good deal of ground-up homebrew, as opposed to the xbox's homebrew library which is almost all ports (yes, we have lots of ports to, but the ratio is a lot different).
EDIT: one more: Size. Depending on the situation this may be important, as the Dreamcast is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller/lighter than the Xbox. Volume-wise, the Gamecube is smaller, but only by a few CCs.

If you havn't yet, check out NesterDC SE. It is the most advanced NES emulator on any console, and more compatible than almost all PC emulators (scherzo spent a long time looking for emulators that had the ability to play all sorts of obscure games that were known not to work on others).

Couldn't have said it better myself quzar. I think of each new homebrew scene i get into as a project. I work on it tell its complete. And then i'll start a new project. I started in the PSP scene. And i still update everything. Then i move onto the next thing. Now that I have pretty much done everything with my dreamcast. The Xbox will be my next project to work on.

Oh, I forgot the biggest advantage that the Dreamcast has to the Xbox. Rez.

i'm still about too running dcnews.co.uk

i have noticed news for the dc has picked up in the last month (having said that the last week has been dead)

2 big names have gone missing recently: metafox... and Max (dcs)

i would not say the dc scene is dead, just not very active. GPF's "gpSPDC" ( released 20th oct) got over 500 downloads and that's not including mirrors and that the first 24hrs of downloads were not counted...hardly dead

also the new download section of the site was just launched just 2 months ago and there have been over 8000 downloads total!

Well i'm glade to see how much life this scene still has. Has anyone heard anymore news about Chui and his 4all emulators being updated? I think last time i heard he or someone was planning on making the psx4all emu alot better. I hope that someone someday can make a really good snes emulator. The ones that are out now are great. But maby someone can take those and try to get it all the way up to full speed.
