ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

The Dreamcast was a wonderful console and the very first 128-Bit one. Homebrew development was possible without the need to modify hardware, which is the total opposite of current next generation consoles. Many of us wasted tons of CD-R’s to burn homebrew games, demos, applications or emulators, but those times are past!

A chinese company produces SD Adapters for Dreamcast. Connected to the serial port you can put .iso’s on a regular SD card and start them via DreamShell. The adapter itself is pretty much affordable for around 10-20 Euros including shipping; please do not pay more than that, as everything above the mentioned sum is an attempt to rip you off.

DCEric, a Dreamcast fanboy of the first hour and also partitally known in the scene for his support to various projects, recorded a couple of homebrew games and even shows an emulator running at last. The loading time is sometimes pretty harsh, but it works! The compatibilty with homebrew so far is overall great.
