One of our staff @ DCEmulation conducted an interview with boob.co.uk's TheGypsy, who worked on GypPlay, a video player for the Dreamcast console and one of the very few Dreamcast homebrew applications written with official libraries instead of homebrew development libraries. Of interest, and something I myself had never known despite following the DC scene since its existence, was that Sega had actually planned on allowing more open access to their SDKs for homebrew developers, but when they started spiraling out of control they did not follow through (just like with many other DC ideas, such as the MP3 player, DVD player, ZIP drive, and so forth...). I figured people here would be quite interested in this information, so the interview can be found here: http://www.dcemulation.org/?title=Interviews:TheGypsy
That was a well known information on the kos/dreamlib message lists, too bad it was scrapped. Cool interview anyway!
nice interview, didn't know he was like the only independet game developer for dreamcast and had this kind of exclusive contract with sega! he surely does have some very special memories when it comes to the dreamcast era!
