Do we still have no information about this tablet, and whether it was intended for the Dreamcast? What I also really like in this photo is the official copy of Propeller Arena.

Fun fact
We found a bug in the The Flintstones Dreamcast prototype below that likely would have gone unnoticed back in the day
If the console date is set to 2026, the game freezes when you select New Game. Set it back to 2001, and it works normally:

The discs are therefore backups of the builds as they existed on the MIRAGE Universal CD Emulator. We suspect this approach was used to simplify the game approval process at SOA (Sega of America).

A curiosity I recently came across involving Sega Saturn prototypes
I was able to access what are actually final versions of games, but they weren't built to run directly on a Saturn console. Instead, the discs were prepared to be transferred to the MIRAGE Emulator.

I also have discs that worked perfectly back in 2017 but are now completely unreadable.

My dumping issues have been increasing over the past two years, so yes, something is definitely happening, and it’s something we need to take seriously. In every batch of GD-Rs I dump, at least one or two discs now fail to read. Before 2020, that happened only very rarely.

So it was impossible to dump them using the BBA method. There’s still hope of recovering them with another dumping technique, but at the moment only one person seems capable of using it: Sazpaimon from @HiddenPalaceOrg

We’re reaching a critical point for Dreamcast prototypes (HKT-06). If you own any, dump them as soon as possible—whether for public sharing or simply for your. I’m encountering more and more read failures. Pictured below are 2 out of the 5 GD-Rs I was unable to dump today.

The Dreamcast Memory Card Utility tool, available for download below, contains something that reverse engineering enthusiasts may find particularly interesting. You'll find it in the GD-R's single-density area:
