| |
| '''Dreamcast''' was the fifth, and final, home console by [[Sega]].
| |
| | |
| It was released in Japan on November 27, [[1998]], in North America on September 9, [[1999]], in Europe on October 14, [[1999]], and in Oceania on November 30, [[1999]].
| |
| | |
| ==Development==
| |
| On June 23, [[1997]], Sega's Chief Operating Officer announced "the [[Sega Saturn|Saturn]] is not our future", publicly revealing for the first time that the company was working on a successor. This console would use a 200 MHz [[Hitachi]] [[SH-4]] for its [[central processing unit|CPU]] and a 67 MHz [[ARM]] processor for sound. The code name for the console was Katana, but it was given the name Dreamcast by the time it hit retail stores.
| |
| | |
| ==Media==
| |
| The [[GD-ROM|gigabyte disc]] format was developed for this console, both as a larger storage medium and to deter piracy. However, pirate games were released that played on the console less than a year after the release of the console outside Japan.
| |
| | |
| The [[MIL-CD|Music Interactive Live-CD]] was a digital optical storage format using standard [[compact disc]] media.
| |
| | |
| The purpose of the MIL-CD format was to allow music companies to release music CDs with multimedia functions that could be played on a Dreamcast.
| |
| | |
| ==Discontinuation==
| |
| Sega announced that it was discontinuing the console on January 23, [[2001]]. Production of new games continued in North America until February 14, [[2002]], in Europe and Oceania until April 26, [[2002]], and in Japan until March 8, [[2007]].
| |
| | |
| ==Legacy==
| |
| The Dreamcast continues to have an active commercial life among independent game developers.
