Hmmmmm... because I can? Because I want to? My motivations are about as
irrelevent. I don't question why you want to port linux to the dreamcast.
Your hangups mean nothing to me, so keep them to yourself.

It appears that Bochs is what I am going to start toying with. Ive already
joined the dev-list, and started poking questions in the right places.

If you wonder why I posted this question to this list, was 1) the purpose is
to get an OS working on the dreamcast, which we are doing here and 2) I will
probably use DCLinux to load Bochs to load DOS or whatever.

The first question that comes to mind is "what the fuck for?" .. if you want
x86 consoles, buy an xbox.

The SH wasn't designed to emulate x86 incompetence, thankfully. And as a
result, getting anything like bochs running on it should prove to be
irritating enough that no one will try it.
