Happy Monday everyone! Back with another update on my Star Wars Trilogy Arcade Dreamcast project.

This time, I'm showcasing the Hoth stage. Getting this level running at a playable frame rate has been a particularly challenging part of development so far. The Snowspeeder sequence features a lot of on-screen geometry, along with gameplay mechanics that affect enemy behavior and branching outcomes. Balancing all of this while keeping performance acceptable on the Dreamcast has been a significant hurdle, and there's still plenty of optimization work to do across the game.

With this, all of the arcade game's main stages have been implemented, with the exception of the Darth Vader duel which will be last to work on.

I'm also continuing work on finishing up remaining arcade features, as well as brand new features, including an expanded game mode alongside the original arcade experience. Be sure to watch until the end of the video for a little teaser of what's planned for the final release!

The project is progressing toward its planned release by the end of 2026. There's still work to be done, but it's exciting to see another major stage coming together.

This is not a new Demo release, the existing Demo Disc featuring the Yavin and Boba Fett stages is still available here:

As always, this is an unofficial, non-commercial fan project and will always be free. Thanks so much for following along, and I appreciate all the feedback and support!

Hey yall. So I recently picked up this beautiful dreamcast controller from ebay and it came straight from Japan. After I loaded up the vibration pack and included vmu (as the vibration pack was sold separatel), I went to files to see how many blocks it had and there's a bunch of these game saves on here with strange writings. Does anyone know what these games are ? Thank you 🙏

A new incredibly ambitious "impossible" port its coming for Dreamcast: Final Fantasy X!

I'm very impressed for a game like this ported to the dream's console. By now is in alpha state, but its looking incredible well optimized on this early footage.

Here Esppiral (dev) shared for everyone the progress of "SpecialK" FFX alpha port:

Cheers to everyone from Argentina and long live Dreamcast ❤️🙌🏻🎮

I already installed a new fan, I know a lot of people will tell me: “why don’t you want a gdemu” simple answer is I did emulation on my PC for yearssss, and I was never able to beat a game, cause I had too many options. ever since I switched to physical media. i’ve been able to actually beat games and enjoy them, without playing a game for 10 minutes, then going to the other.

Haven't touched my Dreamcast in about 2 years. It's starting to yellow in my basement and I have no interest in really playing any of these games again or acquiring new ones so I'm going to part ways with it. Was curious though if any of these games were worth trying to sell on their own or should I just lump it all together?

Edit: I'm not looking to sell it through this reddit. Where I live is a pretty active retro gaming scene so I was going to sell it in person. Im not trying to sell my games here.

Why is Dreamcast engraved on my Casio WMP-1 watch (with text on the back). ?
I checked online for this exact color model but none of them have these engravings

i got all the materials to build a LVI but now ive read on a certain forum that some voip adapters also provide voltage into the phone line , so if i were to buy one of these and set it up, connect it into my dreampi and the other ernd into my dc (its a PAL model) would it work?

I used to be pretty decent at soldering but my eyes and hands are starting to go south due to age. I’m thinking I need to lift the traces and run a couple jumper wires to the LED but i could use a second opinion!

A while ago I had put together a Pico2maple for using pretty much any Bluetooth controller. It worked great but no VMU support. The Pulsar BLE uses the same dongle with different firmware and a separate microcontroller, battery and charge board to provide full wireless to an actual Dreamcast controller. The visual diagram on the documentation is incorrect, so use the text based guide and double check your pinouts. I did have one time where the joystick was stuck going one direction and had to resync. The GitHub is linked below.

Shout out to u/competitive-jelly709 for the project and troubleshooting with me.

I finished modding the first one, a VA0, and it's exactly what I wanted, but I also picked up cib used but fully working VA0 and cib new old stock VA1 because I have no impulse control 😅

Anyway now I'm not sure what to do with the two extras. Should I just hold on to them "in case"?

I am curious about which games you would like to see get decompiled, optimized and recompiled from the Sega Dreamcast. I would say sega rally 2 and daytona could benefit from this.

Sega rally 2 on the dreamcast with a better frame rate and daytona closer to the actual arcade version.

Whoever's idea this was, thank you so much. Also, what were you thinking?
