"Developing your Dreamcast games with mruby"
summary
Shows a working mruby runtime on a Sega Dreamcast, cross‑compiled with CallistiOS toolchain and packaged into a bootable image; Ruby code is compiled to mruby bytecode embedded in C and linked against the VM. Demo presentation app implements naive syntax highlighting, PNG support and a game prototype and boots on real hardware, though deployment uses a fragile home‑built serial cable hack or CD/SD workflows and some peripherals are slow or flaky.
