Wagic is an Heroic Fantasy battle game reproducing the rules of a famous Collectible trading card game. In Wagic, you fight against an AI with your deck of cards. Each time you win, you earn credits to buy more cards in the shop, and improve your deck. Wagic runs also on Windows and Linux.

Changes:

* More than 1000 new cards. Wagic now supports more than 7700 unique cards, 13700 cards total, including the new set MBS (thanks go especially to Zethfox, Dr.Solomat, and 840126)
* (Windows) Mouse version improved, some bugs fixed, overall controls have been improved (Xaw Otihs)
* Threading support for image loading. Overall this should make image loading a bit smoother (Mootpoint)
* Support for actual button icons instead of text (Mervin, Mootpoint)
* New Wallpapers by Kaioshin
* Translation updates (thanks to all translators!)
* Added new keywords/abilities for card creators. Hopefully we will find the time to edit the wiki and add documentation for these new keywords, for now you’ll have to look into the new cards to see what’s new 🙂
* Various performance improvements
* Many, many, many bug fixes

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.
