Im not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on SB but some Chinese site (in Chinese UGH) is selling a dream cast with built in svideo/VGA and an SDcard slot...
Found via:
http://dcemulation.org/?title=Welcome_to_DCEmulation!

Chinese site here:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=4792894809

Price 300 yuan or 45 USD??
45 + ship for a DC that will play anything? Straight into my computer monitor?
Anyone read Chinese and want to take a risk on this? If I can use pay pal or something that will act as a buffer between Chinese pirates and my bank account Id totally be the guinea pig, do a full test/write up with picture/video etc.

would that sd card dreamcast plat dreamcast isos off of an sd card? because if that were true, and it ends up being safe to buy, it would be pretty incredible
Nah, the DC has no file system abstraction like the PS2/Xbox, you can't boot from anything but a disk. I'm guessing it's a hack of the protocol used to read and write to the VMU.

I am deflated.

Word on the e-street is that Nintendo is shutting down my favorite Mario 2/3/World clone & editor Super Mario Bros. X.

If you've never played it, its a fan developed game engine featuring 2 player simultaneous with the screen splitting and joining together as the players move about the stage. The physics are nearly dead on Mario world. You can also play as Zelda 2's Link.


The game was really blowing up so I suppose this had to happen eventually.

Wiki says:
On April 17 2011, Redigit (Andrew Spinks) commented on his YouTube page that he received a call from Nintendo's lawyers asking him to remove Super Mario Bros. X from SuperMarioBrothers.org and delete all SMBX videos from him Youtube account. They also asked him to transfer SuperMarioBrothers.org over to Nintendo.[citation needed] He complied with their first two wishes, but did not want to lose SuperMarioBrothers.org. He said, "It is a good Mario fansite, even without Super Mario Bros. X." Nintendo was going to decide on that and get back to him. Redigit has asked that no one post copies of Super Mario Bros. X on the internet, as it goes against Nintendo's wishes and might make things more complicated for him.


My pie-in-sky gamer nerd dreams include Nintendo buying the code/concept and distributing the game via Wii ware / DSi store. This is silly and I dont know why I must imagine these things.
