In the beginning of the year i came accros this thread http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=1267326
then talked with one of developers and he said it likely will be ported to dc and recently i found this blog post http://www.aorensoftware.com/blog/2011/ ... for-webos/
Show your support if you want to see it on dc like me.

I posted showing my support! I'll make a post at a few other sites and see if we can get more supporters.

Ok I posted at 2 other sites and blogged about it too. Hope we get people to post and show support directly at their site.

Haha you know me! I always try to spread Dreamcast news when it is something as big as this!

Update!

Here is what the developer had to say.

Wow! What a great outpouring of support for one of my favorite platforms You have inspired me to dust off the old port and re-asses where it stands. So I spent all day yesterday revitalizing the port and trying to see what it would take to make progress on it.

I am still able to get it to compile and link (with a lot of pain) and I can still get the codebase to execute within lxdream (an emulator). Last time I got as far as being able to get a colored quad onscreen. This time I was actually able to get a little farther and was actually able to get a textured quad to display!

Unfortunately I wasn’t making progress very quickly. KallistaOS and the toolchain while awesome, are behaving quite erratically (especially OpenGL and the filesystem), at least inside the emulator. I am not sure to what degree things would be different on actual Dreamcast hardware but I don’t have a Broadband Adapter to load code with. I would love to be able to debug things better and develop on actual hardware.

My conclusion from yesterday’s session was that at the rate of progress I am making with my current tools I can’t justify the time commitment right now. However, if I was to get better tools (anyone have the official SDK?) or if someone more experienced in Dreamcast development would be willing to devote some assistance I would consider putting more effort into it. Long live the Dreamcast

Can we give him any suggestions?

I could slip him the Windows CE SDK but we all know what that means. He probably couldn't sell it.

If hes asking for an official sdk he damn well knows he cant profit.This is just probably to learn from it.You should hook him up with both katana 11rb i think it was callled and the windows ce 2.1.

Yeah I already gave him the Windows CE SDK. don't know where to get the Katana SDK, could somebody help with that please? I might as well mirror it at Theisozone as well.

Thanks for the support everybody.
