Dreamcast homebrew

DCEmulation - All sorts of information usable to homebrw developers - Looks a bit outdated now
DevCast @ DCEmulation - Information about hombrew dev and the DC Hardware
DC Homebrew - A site dedicated to Homebrew DC Development, has links to free games, demos and other goodies
Official KallistOS Homepage - Anyone serious about DC development should be using KOS - it allows you to control many aspects of the DC hardware from a higher level (note: There was also a forked GBA port too). If you want KOS, get the CVS version from the SF page as it's newer than the packaged versions.
BOOB - The ultimate DC homebrew dev site. Contains tools, docs, information, demos, etc.
SDL for Dreamcast
