Now this is very very exciting news, the chaps over at spanish site Dreamcast.ES have posted that an SD Adapter for the Dreamcast has been released.
From the translation
[Loosley translated from the Chinese site]
"DIY's dedicated DC SD card reader directly uses the serial port without modifying the motherboard. Comes with boot disks, and your choice of 1 of 5 different styles. With this you can play the games of FC DC MD SFC GBA GBC PCE NEOGEOCD MAME and many other emulators and homebrew games."
Pretty much you would use this for putting emulators and homebrew games on it, and many other Dreamcast applications such as Xvid movies and music.
These can run retail games, but if they use CDDA, they lag a lot.
The ability to play Homebrew on the Dreamcast without the need to mess about burning to a CD means this is the best hardware release in years for the Dreamcast, for those who understand Chinese you can try and order one here --> http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7818521031
Anyone who buys one let us know how you go on.

The Lavalit Team have released a new version of Openbor for Consoles,Wii, PSP, Dreamcast, Dingoo, Gp2x and Wiz.
OpenBOR is a continuation of Beats Of Rage originally created by the wonderful
folks over at http://www.senileteam.com
History
----------------------
As fans of the 'Streets of Rage' series that originally appeared on the SEGA
megadrive/genesis, we always wanted to see streets of rage 4. But the waiting
proved futile, and streets of rage 4 never came. That's why we tried to correct
this mistake and fill the void by making the ultimate tribute to Streets of Rage:
Beats of Rage!!
Development
----------------------
Beats of Rage was created by Senile Team. However, the character sprites and
some parts of the backgrounds are taken from 'the King of Fighters' games by
SNK Playmore. Therefore special thanks go out to SNK Playmore and SEGA who
unknowingly helped in creating this game.
Beats of Rage and OpenBOR are a free, fully functional game, which includes
music, and features six playable levels plus a bonus level. It is available
for many systems

No need to calculate the viewpoint matrix on every update when it always stays the same.
