    Someone posted pictures of a Dreamcast SDK on /r/dreamcast. Not sure if any of the pictures there are better than the ones already on Sega Retro.


    Oh wow, until now I never realized it, but the power and reset buttons on the Dreamcast devkit are re-used Saturn buttons.

    "Sega Learned About Making Quality Games From Atlus"

    This has got to be the stupidest quote a company ever said in the history of gaming. Beyond Atari Jaguar levels of stupid. Beyond Historical Japanese Battles against Giant Enemy Crabs stupid.

    holy fuck.

    Anyone knows what manufacturer does the "S" code stand for in serials? I've only seen those used for the Mega Jet, and certain refurbished Saturns (some retrofitted as devkits) and Game Gears. However, from 1996 the refurbished units also had the code "AC" that stands for Sega Logistics Service (who started operation in 1995 according to their website). The "S" code was used up to at least 1997 for Saturns however.

    But how much of that is speculation?

    (seriously I don't know - I can't read Japanese. Lots of Saturn speculation though)


    I never really doubted it myself btw


    Open up a Megadrive and the board will be marked as IC BD M5. A Master System is similarly labelled as IC BD M4 Jr (except for PAL units, which are labelled Power Base). If that does not cement it, I don't know what else could.

    That magazine prototype shot looks like an artists impression to me, especially considering how similar it looks to what is labelled as the Super Famicom (aka SNES) next to it.

    I was tossing up between a Radeon HD3450 and a Nvidia 6200 for my little Pentium 4 project, trying to balance price and performance. I ended up going with the 6200 because of the passive heatsink and it being powered directly via the agp slot rather than an additional cable. Most reports seem to indicate that the HD3450 is better though.

    I think agp cards went up into the radeion HD4xxx and nvidia 7xxx range as well, but I think these can be hard to find and/or expensive.

    Depends if your p4 mobo has a pci-e slot or not


    The HD3xxx and HD4xxx cards are 2-3 generations newer than the 7xxx cards (which were competing against the Radeon 1xxx line). I recall there being a Radeon 3xxx card for AGP slots, but personally I think that would be heavily CPU limited in any motherboard that could take it (unless they made Core 2 Duo compatible AGP boards, not that unlikely given how long lga775 lasted). The 6200 you got is a lowest tier card, weakest of the weak, but okay for playing Quake 3.

    My old AGP machine has an Athlon 64 X2, a Via chipset motherboard because nforce3 had fuck-all support, and a beast of a Radeon 1950 Pro AGP. It requires two molex connectors and a power supply that can push enough amps to it, but damn it was incredibly powerful AND very cheap. Current high-end cards cost 3x as much as that card did.
