Product Information

Graphical hardware effects include trilinear filtering, gouraud shading, z-buffering, spatial anti-aliasing, per-pixel translucency sorting and bump mapping. [32] [38] The Dreamcast can output approximately 16.77 million colors simultaneously and displays interlaced or progressive scan video at 640×480 video resolution. [38] Its 67MHz Yamaha AICA [137] sound processor, with a 32-bit ARM7 RISC CPU core, can generate 64 voices with PCM or ADPCM, providing ten times the performance of the Saturn's sound system. [32] The Dreamcast has 16 MB main RAM, along with an additional 8 MB of RAM for graphic textures and 2 MB of RAM for sound. [32] [38] It reads media using a 12× speed Yamaha GD-ROM drive. [38] In addition to Windows CE, the Dreamcast supports several Sega and middleware application programming interfaces. [32]

Working closely with Midway Games (which developed four North American launch games for the system) and taking advantage of the ten months following the Dreamcast's release in Japan, Sega of America worked to ensure a more successful US launch with a minimum of 15 launch games. [57] With lingering bitterness over the Saturn's early release, Stolar repaired relations with major US retailers, with whom Sega presold 300,000 Dreamcast units. [30] In addition, a pre-launch promotion enabled consumers to rent Dreamcasts from Hollywood Video in the months preceding its September launch. [58] Sega of America's senior vice president of marketing Peter Moore, [59] a fan of the attitude previously associated with Sega's brand, worked with Foote, Cone & Belding and Access Communications to develop the "It's Thinking" campaign of 15-second television commercials, which emphasized the Dreamcast's hardware power. [30] [58] [60] According to Moore, "We needed to create something that would really intrigue consumers, somewhat apologize for the past, but invoke[ sic] all the things we loved about Sega, primarily from the Genesis days." [30] On August 11, Sega of America confirmed that Stolar had been fired, leaving Moore to direct the launch.

This is a special graphics mode used by digital video, animation and video games to achieve certain looks. Essentially, 24 bits are used to define the red, green and blue amounts, 8 bits each, needed to create a specific color. Another 8 bits are used to create a gray-scale mask that acts as a separate layer for representing levels of object transparency. How transparent an object will be is determined by how dark the gray in the alpha channel is. By making an area of the mask dark gray, you can make an object appear to be very transparent; by making it light gray, you can create special fog or water effects.

On May 22, 2000, Okawa replaced Irimajiri as president of Sega. [119] Okawa had long advocated that Sega abandon the console business. [120] His sentiments were not unique; Sega co-founder David Rosen had "always felt it was a bit of a folly for them to be limiting their potential to Sega hardware", and Stolar had suggested Sega should have sold their company to Microsoft. [20] [121] In September 2000, in a meeting with Sega's Japanese executives and the heads of the company's major Japanese game development studios, Moore and Bellfield recommended that Sega abandon its console business and focus on software, prompting the studio heads to walk out.
