AtariST Emulation Finally Lands on Dreamcast

wraggster writes "Tonight has seen the Release of the Worlds first Atari ST Emulator for the Dreamcast by Ron of MadriDC fame & Chui. The emulator is a port of Castaway to the Dreamcast and already runs most games at full speed."

Naysayers run your self-checking routines!

I'm really happy every time I see an update on the underground DC development. Its great to see some solid hardware released that is extremely affordable ($15 at regular retail stores!) and flexible enough to develop tons of applications for. Not to mention the amount of fun you get out of it. It's an exponential return on your investment.

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.

Re:Emulator X for Platform Y is not news anymore

Not like we're getting inundated with news here in the Game section though.

And Dreamcast holds such a special place in so many hearts :)

A full-speed Atari ST emulator for Dreamcast? This is really, really cool guys. There isn't even a full-speel SNES emulator for DC yet.
