What would happen is that games would be downloaded onto the systems large hard drive, while cutting out all the middlemen they'd only be priced at around 19.99 or 14.99.
The entire DC back catalogue plus new software(shenmue3?) could be available. Sega actually developed a few chapters of shenmue3 on dc as you can find numereous pics of chapter 5 "Luoyang" online.
What do you mean by "half-clocked"?moichi said:It seems spec of this chip is half-clocked SH-7770(400MHz).

SH-7770(MBX) already available in Japan since April.
Some major car navigation products(GPS) use SH-7770.

Was it purely for reasons of expense that Sammy uses the Atomiswave? By all accounts it seems to be nothing more than a DC modified to play cartridges.
The actual Dreamcast SoC (Dreamcast compatible, not MBX-based) was planned for that time back in 2001. Pace boxes could've used it (or shipped with any DC technology as it wouldn't really make a big difference for an STB), but did any PC cards ever ship with the DC-on-a-chip as planned in Japan?I think Pace were going to use PowerVRDC chips
Yeah, Pace is actually a decent-sized provider in the UK and operates internationally too.Pace still make Digi boxes though AFAIK so they haven't disapeared completely.
1024x768 would be one bigass portable...

I thought the PSP was supposed to be 720p (that's what I heard anyway). That's 1280x720!!!
Basically, I'm saying that the system doesn't have to be big to utilize that resolution, it just has to have an extremely good (sharp) screen.
