Naysayers run your self-checking routines! (Score:5, Insightful)
Without a doubt though there will be countless people trashtalking this very post in a very short time. Why? "Dreamcast is dead", "Why would you want to waste your time with an old system?" "Don't you have a life?" "I bet you can't get laid!"
Etc. etc. etc.
I see it every time, but I don't think people even stop and think about the crap that comes out of their minds when looking at a project someone put time into on a dead platform. They're too far gone and completely owned by the media.
My point is: why do you people bother living? It's like you're dead already, seeing that a multi-million dollar corporation has it's fist firmly placed up your rectum and flapping your jaws away with whatever they'd like to hear you say. You should really stop and think where you get these ideas, and when you ask yourself: "Why do I clown on people modding old hardware", check yourself as soon as you hear that little voice say "because it's lame!". Is that really the reason? Where do you get that idea? Is it because the PS2 and Xbox look soooo much sexier on those MTV commercials? Because the voice on the radio tells you what to like? Just like they tell you when to be angry, sad or happy and what breakfast cereal to buy?
So yeah, that's about all I have to say. When you come into this forum and start trolling around other peoples hobbies, just remember to finish all your sentences with nice, clear "Mooo" so we all know where you stand.
Thanks.

It's criminal the machine died. It's easily up there with the PS2 on graphics. It just got killed by shitty marketing and other companies not supporting it (Electronic Arts for example).

Of course, thinking that way pretty much by definition denies a whole avenue of originality and innovation (with better/easier hardware), but, happily, it also allows for great ingenuity with the current limitations of hardware (in this case the DC)

How about "Why would someone release an Atari ST emulator for a system for which few people have a keyboard?"
Just because some criticisms of a project are illogical doesn't mean that all of them are.

If you like it, don't forget to donate to encourage them for futher improvement. It will be open source once they release version 1.0.

They obviously don't get the whole point of open source, then...
And what guarantee do we have that they will "eventually" open the source?

The main issue is that most homebrew titles use a homebrew OS called KallistOS (that way there's no issue of legality).
As of yet, Chankast seems to only run games using the official Sega 'Katana' OS.
The emulator is also incompatible with commercial WinCE-based games.

Also, the Dreamcast, even though a failed system had great games of excellent quality. Just because the market decided it didn't like the Dreamcast it doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad console. It was not. Compared to anything else at the time, it was the best console out there.

Compared to them NOW it's still a great machine. When you figure in all the homebrew stuff, and look at how the other consoles are, the DC is the ultimate geek console.
Not sure I buy that Amiga/ST ratio. I knew about 30 people with Amiga's. I knew one person with an ST. (That was England in the early 90's.)

The fact is, it took Doom and Heretic to make us switch, yet looking back, the Amiga scene was far less of a creative vacuum than the PC. I've been revisiting old games on the emulator and the Amiga was such a great little machine. Check

My colleague (in the UK back in the 80's) Phil Camp did the (TDI) Modula-2 compiler. Cheshire cats wouldn't have grinned as
