The only piece in that picture which doesn&#8217;t play a role in the Dreamcast development process is the scanner. <a href=\"http:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/i-really-like-my-new-eeepc\/\">The Eee PC<\/a> does the heavy lifting of development (i.e., text editing and cross compilation) and uploads to the Dreamcast via a special serial cable. Those are the most essential parts and are really the only pieces necessary for a lot of algorithmic stuff (things that can be validated via a serial console). But then I have to go up a level where I output video. That&#8217;s where things get messy.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/dreamcast-mac-mini.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Mac Mini capture system for Dreamcast\" width=\"400\" height=\"207\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/dreamcast-mac-mini.jpg 400w, https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/dreamcast-mac-mini-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/64-bit-builds-are-a-go\/\">The Mac Mini<\/a> and giant monitor really just act as a glorified TV in this case. Ideally, it will be more than that. The DC outputs audio and video via composite cables to a Canopus DV capture bridge. That&#8217;s connected via FireWire to the external hard drive underneath the Mac Mini, which is connected to the Mac. Adobe Premiere Pro handles the DV capture \/ display.<\/p>\n<p>One day I hope to have something worthwhile to capture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what it looks like when I develop for the Sega Dreamcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[221],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sega-dreamcast"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3224"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3254,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224\/revisions\/3254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
