Old Vintage Computing Research: Dusting Off Dreamcast Linux

At Old VCR, we embrace the past with unique, refurbished RISC Unix workstations boasting vintage tech like a Hitachi SuperH SH-4 CPU and 16MB of RAM. Our Dreamcast Linux experience offers a blast from the past, showing how Sega’s MIL-CD innovation paved the way for booting from ordinary CDs. With RedBoot bootloader and a simplistic kernel, running Linux on a Dreamcast is history in action. Our blog focuses on preserving nostalgia, offering insights into old school Linux and quirky tech solutions, like mmap() tricks for Dreamcast framebuffer access. Dust off your Dreamcast, load up our Linux disc, and experience gaming tech history firsthand.
