PPR Presents Limelight: Atomiswave Dreamcast Ports

o we totally know there’s a lot of hype for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and they’re currently the biggest deals in video games right now, but what if we told y’all that there was another big deal happening in the gaming scene right now—one that involved another household name in consoles…

Hacker alias MegaVolt85 from the Dreamcast-Talk Forum has taken it upon himself to convert all twenty-seven titles released for Sammy’s short-lived Arcade Haardware line, the Atomiswave. After some extensive review of the Coin-ops internal workings, it would seem that the system’s architecture is nearly identical to that of Sega’s 128-bit icon, making it possible to reformat the coding of these titles to natively run on the Dreamcast.

Yes you read that right, these games aren’t being emulated or ported, they are conversions that’re running natively on Dreamcast hardware—shit’s wild ain’t it?

Join us on Saturday, November 21st, at 7:00 PM Pacific at twitch.tv/presspauseradio as my girlfriend, Val, and I hit up the first  ten conversions made available so far. Games like Metal Slug 6, King of Fighters XI, Dolphine Blue, Faster than Speed, King of Fighters Neo Wave, Samurai Showdown VI, Demolish Fist, Maximum Speed, Knights of Valour: The Seven Spirits, and Fist of The NorthStar.
