Another fantastic installment of the world's greatest Dreamcast podcast, this time celebrating one of its most iconic games!

I have many warm memories around this game, and listening to this episode was a real pleasure 🙂
It's been 25 years since the Sega Dreamcast's killer app #Shenmue made its voyage to Western shores. The DreamPod celebrates with Matt (@shenmuedojo.com) and KC (@thesegalounge.com). We discuss personal memories, the series’ legacy, and hopes for its future.

New homebrew alert: “black screen” by @captkuso.bsky.social. This lo-fi space trading game for the Sega Dreamcast (and PC) sees players buying/selling goods and gearing up their ship, all in search of the mythical key to immortality… Definitely worth a try!

The Sega Dreamcast's disc drive is infamous for the grinding sounds it makes. It turns out that this can be cured with a £3.50 brass gear. @pizzahotline.bsky.social has a handy guide here for those interested in taking on this unique mod.

Anyone wondering why people are mourning the loss of Rebecca Heineman should watch this video from @stopskeletons.bsky.social. This is just a footnote in her extensive career, but it's what made me follow and donate to her cancer fund. We lost a legend today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxF1...

The Sega Dreamcast wasn’t a stranger to casino/card games. Looking to continue this lineage is Glowhare Studio with their new free game Dream Table Poker. It has an arcade mode & local multiplayer where each player looks at their cards using the VMU.

I've been working to port this translation patch to the Dreamcast.

If you're serious about playtesting a VN/ADV game end-to-end and reporting issues, I'd love to hear from you 🙂

PS: When I say serious, I really mean it. Sending out pre-release builds to people who won't see it through is very bad.

A nice gent called Ricardo sent us this Portuguese promo brochure for the Dreamcast titled 'Natal 2000' (‘Christmas 2000’), which we have preserved. Amusingly, it advertises Bleemcast, and the unreleased Dreamcast Zip Drive, DVD player and MP3 player.
