The SH-4 is actually still supported by mainline GCC
- cwyers 8y agoAlmost everything is still supported by mainline GCC. I don't know, it's a weird choice to me, given that BeOS never AFAICT supported Dreamcast either.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThe Dreamcast has a pretty big homebrew scene because it was super trivial to run your own code on an unmodded console and it also ran some form of Windows CE. It was probably low-hanging fruit to add it and someone thought it'd be cool, though actually doing testing on the DC will give you a good idea of how much your changes are affecting the performance and resource utilization.

- PeCaN 8y agoIt's still supported by OpenBSD and QNX as well. It's actually not really dead and is moderately popular in embedded systems. Also, the patents are expiring and the http://j-core.org/ http://j-core.org/ project is working on an open-source reimplementation (they've already done SH-2).
