Entertainment/Gaming Consoles

Okay, after a week of investigation, realization and frantic downloading, I am officially SOLD on the Dreamcast.

Why? Emulation. Not emulation OF the DC... emulation ON the DC.

I now have a burned version of NESter 6.0, a Nintendo emulator for the DC, with 2000+ ROM images on board. I have a hacked Smash Pack loader with 180 Genesis ROMs on board. I'm working on a DreamSNES disc, though I really don't have that many SNES images (mostly RPGs, and a few oddballs like Jaki Crush). I can follow this with DCStella (Atari 2600), NeoPocutt (NGPC), and a host of other emulatables. Someone took the time to write a freaking SINCLAIR SPECTRUM emulator for the DC. How can I not reward that misguided devotion with a download?

MAME for DC? Why not? It'll even play some NeoGeo games, albeit at reduced speed and without sound. Many older games are just fine. I find the concept of a Sega console being hacked in 2002 to emulate a Sega arcade game from 1981 delightfully ironic.

A million billion stars. Joe Bob sez check it out.
