My name is Derek Pascarella (also knows as “ateam”), and I focus largely on developing translation patches for the SEGA Dreamcast. However, I have love for the entirety of the retro gaming spectrum.

If you want to check out my personal projects (or get in touch with me directly), head on over to my website, https://DreamcastForever.com.

If you’re feeling generous and want to contribute to my ongoing Dreamcast endeavors, I accept donations via PayPal. While my projects are driven by love and passion for SEGA’s swan-song console, every dollar helps, and all funds will go directly back into my projects (e.g., hardware and software procurement).
