  • Sega Announces Worldwide Agreement with NexGen

    Thanks a lot to Evil Blackfox on the forum for showing this...

    Sega announces worldwide agreement with NexGen Software

    Sega Dreamcast Game Consoles powered by NexGenIP TCP/IP suite, allows thousands of players to play together around the world

    Sega Europe is pleased to announce the newly acquired license for NexGenIP, a complete embedded TCP/IP stack developed by French based company NexGen Software. This license will allow Dreamcast developers to access a Complete Networking Suite to design better online Games.

    ?Our objective was to offer our developers one of the most complete embedded TCP-IP stack which is perfectly tuned to exploit our optimised architecture?, said Serge Plagnol, Associate Director for Developers Technical Support at SEGA Europe. ?We worked closely with NexGen Software, to deliver arguably the best Internet based game software solution for a console available today? concluded Plagnol.

    ?The relationship established with SEGA gave us a deep understanding about the technical issues and we enjoyed working closely with them. While our TCP/IP stack is very carefully layered, we met the challenge to optimise some of our code in order to exploit the advanced Dreamcast architecture. The resulting port is probably the best one we have done, improving both the portability and performance? said Jean-Paul Medina, President at NexGen Software.

    NexGenIP Open Embedded TCP/IP Suite is carefully designed to solve the most demanding requirements in terms of size, performances and portability. All dependencies are well isolated in the NexGenOS Interface Layer to support most of the popular Polling or Real Time Operating Systems.

    Sonic and Knuckles are at Denny's! They are 3.99 a piece, and are from SONIC UNDERGROUND. Sonic is wearing his medallion at that. They were discovered when Denny's played their TV ad.

    SU’s Sonic and Knux dolls at Dennys!

    Okay, I have YET to see this myself, because I was still asleep when my Mom and best friend found out that Denny's was advertising for Sonic and Knux plushies, and they were from Sonic Underground. I'll go more into detail as I investigate this news story.

    Sonic #93 – Sword Play Pandemonium !!!!!!

    Sonic The Hedgehog #93

    Sonic returns to Knothole and finds himself in hot water because of the missing Sword of Acorns! Angered by the frosty reception, he hastily leaves with Tails, Rotor and Mina. Sonic blames himself and can't stop thinking about the sword. And Robotnik is also angry over the lost Sword of Acorns, terrified it will get in rebel hands and actually restore free will to those he's imprisoned. The facts don't stop Robotnik, however: he pretends to have the Sword in a nefarious plot to hoodwink the newly arrived Overlanders...


    The road to Sonic #100 is lookig pretty decent. ^_^ Glad to see Mina, Rote, and Tails following Sonic. This means Sally, Elias, Bunnie, and Ant are back in Knothole and that could prove interesting considering the other previews. Speaking of which:

    Now keep in mind - Thanks to Sega stepping in at a SERIOUS last minute, previews were changed and it was announced here that Sonic 92 is being forcibly made into the Sonic Shuffle preview. That issue was supposed to have the lead being the "The Wrath Of Khan" and a Knuckles backup. Whether that main story has been pushed out (which tied into this issue) or whether the Knuckles backup has been pushed out (which would make more sense considering the timeframe it was given to Archie by SEGA), we don't know yet. We'll try to let you know if we do. Peace out! :)

    New Sonic Arcade Screens Discovered!

    Well, I decided to check up on the status of the Model-2 Emulator Virtua, to see if there was any support for Sonic Championship... while there, I poked around the site, and found a link to a site where a guy, calling himself ShinobiZ, posted what I find as the most comprehensive information on just about every Sega Arcade board out there. Upon going into see listings of every System 32 game, I found two more Sonic Arcade Screenshots.

    Sonic & Ray swinging through a mountain-like Zone.
    I'd say this was from an opening scene, but you can see Sonic's lifebar. It's a level!

    The first screenshot is nothing new, it's the 2nd one that catches my eye. Though you all may say, "Must be from the opening scene." ... it's not. You can clearly see Sonic's lifebar. It's a level. Also, according to this site, there is a System 32 emulator in the works. While obviously known from such sites as Geoshock, it might prove that it is still in the works...who knows?
