Hi,
While playing Sturmwind on Dreamcast, I've been thinking about the console hardware specifications from 1999, and what it would look like if these specifications were updated today:
CD, 1.2 GB GD-ROM --> CD / DVD / Blu-Ray
200 MHz Hitachi SH4 RISC --> 600 MHz Renesas SH-4A 7786 Dual Core
VMU, Nexus Memory Card --> HDD or SSD
RAM 16 MB, GPU 8 MB --> ?
100 MHz PowerVR2 CLX2 --> 200 MHz PowerVR 5XT or 600 MHz Series 6 (rogue)
Dreamcast Broadband Adapter --> Ethernet + WiFi
Windows CE 2.0 ? --> Windows CE 2013 or anything Linux / BSD ?
Do you think such an updated console would work, and would it be backward compatible with the original Dreamcast ?
Bye, Magic Sam
