Windows CE for Dreamcast Toolkit
Microsoft and some of its partners are already using DirectX on Windows CE for several consumer devices. As we already mentioned, the first product to ship with support for Windows CE and DirectX was the Sega Dreamcast game console. Microsoft recently released the Windows CE for Dreamcast Toolkit to licensed developers. Windows CE for Dreamcast is an optimized version of the Windows CE operating system designed for the Dreamcast hardware. It includes all the tools needed to develop for this SH4 processor-based platform in Visual C++ and a highly optimized implementation of the DirectX APIs. It is a prime example of a platform where you can leverage your existing Win32 and DirectX expertise and code to develop content for new consumer devices.

In the past, console developers were forced to learn and use proprietary APIs and tools for each new platform. Developing for a new console almost always meant dealing with all the hassles of first-generation development tools. By providing Win32 and DirectX on Dreamcast, Sega and Microsoft are for the first time allowing game developers to create titles for both the PC and console using virtually the same code base, as well as providing the opportunity to leverage existing code for the Dreamcast exclusive titles. Also, you get to do all the development using the same familiar tools used for desktop games.
