About the Product
Dreamcast included advanced hardware technology in 3D graphics, sound, and input devices, as well as an on-board modem to support internet access and network gaming. The inclusion of Windows CE with DirectX provided a flexible, versatile development environment, supported by Microsoft development tools.
At the heart of the PlayStation 2 is the 128-bit Emotion Engine processor, which combines lightning-fast gameplay and unprecedented graphics power with DAT-quality stereo sound. The system was designed as an improvement on the original PlayStation's design; the disc-based software and Dual Shock 2 controllers will be immediately familiar to PlayStation devotees.
