Recomendations for my dusty DC?
Just moved, was unpacking the consoles and found my old dusty DreamCast....
It's been at least a few years since I've mucked around with DC homebrew (xbox, psp, ds, and gp2x took up that part of my life for a while).
So sceners, any emulator/homebrew apps or game recommendation for someone who was around when the DC scene started?

Re: Recomendations for my dusty DC?
I would point you to DCEvolution, but our site is offline due to an attack by hackers. Anyway, here's my round-up on some of the most interesting releases during the past few years:
- Hope you got "DownThemAll" installed, you will need it....
In news of non-Japanese commercial scene releases, we saw releases of Last Hope (a NeoGeo shmup) and Cool Herders:
http://www.lasthope.ngdevteam.com/
http://www.harmlesslion.com/
Both are at least as good as Maqiupai, Inhabitants and Feet of Fury; for which DCEvolution released a compilation of all the long lost Feet of Fury swap discs: http://dcevolution.net/downloads/hosted ... p_4in1.rar
Here's an exclusive demo of the commercial version of Cool Herders:

...which brings us to the freeware stuff:
In 2005, Patbier and Poche released demo v3 of Alice Dreams and announced Dynamite Dreams for this year:

I've released initial versions of my DEP compilation series of which I hope to do more in the future:
http://dcevolution.net/downloads/emulat ... EP_v11.rar
http://dcevolution.net/downloads/emulation/S8DEPv1b.zip
- The later features the excellent SMSplusDC by Pascal Bosquet and Heliophpobe.
In late 2005, Scherzo released NesterDC SE, an impressive update to Takayama Fumihiko's last release. If you don't use all features and stick with a smaller selection of your favorite games, this emulator will provide you with an excellent NES experience:
http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index.ph ... NesterDCSE
http://www.sch3rz0.com/nesterdcse/
http://www.sch3rz0.com/nesterdcse/downl ... -12-10.zip
In 2006, BlackAura and Warmtoe released GenesisPlusDC. The emulator runs full speed with decent compatibility and VMU saving:
http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index.ph ... esisPlusDC
In other emulation news, Chui and Fox68k released many excellent M68k based emulators; the probably most notable one being Neo4All/CD, a great full speed NeoGeoCD emulator:
http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index.ph ... Neo4All-CD
- Problem is that DCEmu UK seems to be offline atm, so there's no way to download Chui's (nor GPF's) releases.
Having said that, I have to add that the scene's websites overall are in an absolutely terrible state. Except for DCEmulation, which only hosts stuff from 2002, it's mostly because of hackers and spambots though.
- Hope you got "DownThemAll" installed, you will need it....

What a coincidence, you and burnerO suddenly appear out of nowhere in the same week after having disappeared for quite a while.

Christuserloeser - Dude, you rock. I don't think I was expecting a huge comprehensive list like that, but I do appreciate it.
Nice to see the community still going strong as hell.

Re: Recomendations for my dusty DC?
Christuserloeser, What you said about a lot of the DC Scene Websites being:
However it would need to be supported by others to pay for domain costs. As this is something for hosting a large database of files that I would not be able to afford on my own.
I would however design it, and build it in php, as well as having a forum. It would however be strictly for emulation and homebrew purposes only.
Let me know what you think.

As a web/ graphic designer I would be willing to do something about that.having said that, I have to add that the scene's websites overall are in an absolutely terrible state
