"I just dont trust SEGA"

its old news now that sega have come to terms with being beaten and have dropped out of the hardware side of the gaming business, and are now focusing all their etention on games for a selection of different machines.
but i just have this feeling that this is not truely the end of sega.i for one would not be one bit surprised if one day i came onto ukgames and there was a news article saying segas back.
they have done it so many times before,why not again.
right at this very moment they could be sat in a smoked filled room some where planning a new super console,one that woul paralise the PS2,murder the Microsoft X-box and nuke the nintendo game cube.
they probably arnt,but they might be.
segas not done yet......

Im just curious, after all my 200Mhz PC has zero chance of emulating a Dreamcast. Im just wondering if it possible and weather a Dreamcast revival could be on the horizon.

Nope, didn't work.

Hang on, if you don't have any DC discs, how can you play games on it?

Or were you just curious to how things work?

PC's can run N64 games and there like big chunky cartridges, you download a rom file of the game and an emulator so you could even play em on a PS2 when we get the net hehe.

Cant do any harm (Famous Last Word =-D )

Tell you what, I'll try it on my DC - but the only DVDs I have are from PC Format, and are therefore data discs. Shall I try anyway?

I dont have a DVD drive or a Dreamcast GD Disc for that matter.

Err... why don't you try it?

Would a DVD drive read a Dreamcast disc???

I don't think so - something to do with the laser which reads the CD/GD is of a different nature from each other. Or something - I'll tell you in more detail once I've learnt all anbout it in 6 years time.

Could Dreamcast discs be read by a normal CD drive???

Because if they could then Sega may just release a 100% compatable Dreamcast emulator for the PC when they have sold the majority of their remaining Dreamcast consoles. That would give them a big boost, and maybe revive the Dreamcast.
