I was Googling for some inspiration for some retro gaming decorations for my game room. I’ve been doing some of my own custom vector art in Macromedia Freehand which will allow me to enlarge my work without having any quality loss. So far I have a near perfect reproduction of the box front from the original NES Super Mario Bros game.
So anyway, I just stumbled onto this great site that specializes in arcade art — including vector art. I instantly fell in love. I’m gonna have a field day with all of these spiffy graphics.
I don’t know how they do such a good job on the pieces, but I’d love to learn some tips. So anyway, check out their site, you might find something you could use as well. And if you know of any other similar sites, please let me know (post a reply to this post).

Those of you that would like to play Genesis games on your Dreamcast, start getting your hopes up. Many of you may have been aware of Genesis emulators for the Dreamcast that have been around for awhile. But all of them have either been slow and really glitchy or are the one made by Sega themselves that is far from perfect and is copyrighted. This new emulator is opensource (which means it will be improved upon) and it is running better than any other emu before it.
GenesisPlusDC is BlackAura’s long term project to bring 100% perfect MD/G emulation to the Dreamcast. GPDC started as a port of Genesis Plus by Charles Mac Donald. It’s been in development since 2003 and a lot of progress has been made since then.

Well this is a great day with Stefs help and my 2 part dev system kos1.1.9 and some crazyness thrown in.I have it working fullspeed no slow down on games. It’s like wow.
New version coming soon.
You will not beleive the speed this has.
It is a bit crazy to compile you need dev C++ and cygwin and to version of kos thats crazy.
Any way works and so good makes the other version look like it’s running at 50%.
