From early '98 iirc.


Shame we never got a port of Scud Race / Sega Super GT on Dreamcast, but that demo on very early hardware was pretty cool.
That dev-kit only had maybe 40% the performance of the final Dreamcast hardware.


Edit: The demo ran on the Katana Set 2 SDK which was basically a Pentium II PC with early prototype PowerVR2 ARC prototype graphics card. Did not have the SH-4 CPU.


The later Katana Set 4 dev-kits (spring/summer '98?)  had about 40% the performance of the final Dreamcast hardware.

I was about to say, it doesn't look as good as I remember DC games being. But even with 40% of the DC's power it looks like they were still positioned to wipe the floor with the PS1 and N64. I'll never forget what a huge leap the DC was when it came out in graphics, it totally blew my mind.
