@xianc78 art style > graphical improvements. Team Fortress 2 still looks good. Chrono Trigger still looks good.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad The point is that you don't need raytracing to simulate realistic reflections.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @xianc78 Dreamcast was great IMO. Maybe it was a Sega thing but having so many arcade style graphics and games on whatever engine they used was 🔥.

@LurkPerry @BowsacNoodle @noyoushutthefuckupdad I wish Sega open-sourced their Dreamcast after discontinuing it. Atari did that with the Jaguar. Even though the Dreamcast has an active homebrew community, they are limited on what they can do because they have to rely on CDs using the MIL-CD exploit, as opposed to the GD-ROMs that official games use.

@xianc78 @LurkPerry @noyoushutthefuckupdad Didn't Dreamcast allow you to burn a boot disc for playing pirated games?

@WeissenSocken88 @BowsacNoodle @LurkPerry @noyoushutthefuckupdad It was due to the MIL-CD exploit. Basically, Sega created a CD format that allows interactive content to music CDs when placed in a Dreamcast. There weren't that many MIL-CDs, but hackers realized that you can just use the game's ISO as the MIL-CD software and play pirated and homebrew games.

But it's not enough. If you look into the Dreamcast homebrew scene it's mostly 2D games or hacks of existing 3D Dreamcast games. Apparently, there is still not enough documentation on the system.
