			This interview with [[Chui]] was taken by [[Maturion]] in February 2008.

			'''What is your current Dreamcast project that you are mainly working on?'''

			During last year i have worked on:
			*New FAZE Z80 assembler core for ZX4ALL, MAME4ALL and NEO4ALL emulators.
			*DCaSTaway emulator was adapted to FAME M68K core, so now it is more stable and more fast.
			*A new and secret emulator project by Fox and me.
			*ZX4ALL emulator was released with a lot of enhanced features.
			*First alpha release of Neverball game.
			*KGLX library continued for getting a new OpenGL implementation for KallistiOS.
			*DreamEDGE (EDGE) and DreamPlaces (DarkPlaces) 3D engines port using new KGLX library.

			In general, 2007 was not a very productive year for me because my son was born and he needs a lot of my free time, but i love playing with him.
			Also i hope release a beta non-playable of Fusion game (DreamEdge based) and other for RetroMadrid/MadriDC 2008 party (8th March):

			'''When did you start developing Dreamcast software and why did you do that?

			I started to coding for Dreamcast around 2003 summer with a simple SDL port, [http://sdl-gp32.sourceforge.net/dcircus.html DCIRCUS].
			At this time, i was porting SDL for GP32, but Fox persuaded me for continuing FAME M68K core for Dreamcast and Ron for porting Castaway (an Atari-ST computer emulator).
			Then i was falling in love, this machine is wonderful.
			But i always have seen to Dreamcast a good platform for emulators because it is enought powerfull and cheap for playing old games on a TV.
			There are not a lot of people coding for Dreamcast now, i think that there are a lot of things to do yet.


			'''Some time ago an unknown programmer from Germany has made a basic Dreamcast port of DaedalusPSP ([[DaedalusDC]], a Nintendo64 emulator. Sadly, he won't continue his work on this emulator. Do you think anybody will continue his work? Will this emulator ever allow to play games in a playable speed?'''

			I think that it is not easy that another coder continues that work because it is a hard task and it is possible that never runs for playing decent way.
			Maybe i will continue it at far future, now i have a lot of running projects, but i always have wanted to try it after [[PSX4ALL]].


			'''What do you recommend coders who want to start out with Dreamcast programming?'''

			I recommend writing SDL portable code as far as possible. Because it is more easy and confortable work for your PC, like running a simple test or debugging and tracing a bug.


			'''Did you work with any other consoles or handhelds than the Dreamcast?'''

			Mainly i have worked for GP32 console, porting SDL libraries and [[Fenix]] gaming runtime.
			I love this handheld console but there are a lot of people that write code for it (now for GP2X), so it is not necesary my contribution now.


			'''Will you release a new version of [[SDL]] for the Dreamcast?'''

			I planned to release this year using newest [[SDL]] version and a bit changes. But really SDL for Dreamcast is very complete and stable now.
			Anyway, KGLX will be a good complement, i think that a lot of 3D games could be ported, like Neverball.


			'''What are your wishes for the Dreamcast scene in 2008?'''

			I wish for have a lot of time for doing ports and games for Dreamcast.
			And i encourage all scene for not falling in lazyness, there are a lot of work to do and it is very funny.


			'''Do you think the Dreamcast will still see some new releases after 2008?'''

			Why not? I would like continue coding for it, it is my hobby and i want not change it as developing target.
			I see now new releses for ZX-Spectrum computer, it is a very old machine with a decent scene.


			'''Do you think SEGA will ever make a new console?'''

			I really do not know but maybe it is not important because SEGA is not dead and continues doing fantastic games.
			Always i was a Nintendo fan and it is perfect play SEGA games with a DS or Wii.
