An intrepid hacker by the alias drkIIRaziel got Sega’s Naomi BIOS running on a Dreamcast emulator. For those of you who don’t know the Dreamcast is the parent system of the Naomi board.
While the BIOS crack is a big deal, you can’t run your favorite games yet. A lot more needs to happen behind the scenes before games are actually up and running–a BIOS alone does not make a system.
Still, you can always hope to play such Dreamcast classics as Ikaruga, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Ferrari F355 Challenge on your computer in the future.
