Sonic Adventure extraordinaire PkR recently released the first ever custom DLC to be made for Sonic Adventure; a scavenger hunt that takes place in the past. You can get it here: https://dcmods.unreliable.network/index.php/2020/09/08/sonic-adventure-tikals-challenge-dlc-contest/
There's also a contest on right now - fastest time wins SADX on PC!

Other Sonic Adventure extraordinaire SPEEPSHighway put up the first video of it (here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQMXQcO9miw&), but it was done through an emulator with notable sound issues. Since I have an OSSC I wondered if I could use Dream Explorer to get the custom DLC loaded onto my actual Dreamcast, which I could then record in decent quality via the OSSC.

Sure enough, I could! So here's the Tikal's Challenge Custom DLC running on actual Dreamcast hardware. I love playing homebrew stuff like this on hardware, it's so surreal. PkR did a really great job with this; it feels so official! The flickering that's noticeable on 2D assets is due to the OSSC's bob deinterlacing; I don't hate it for 3D assets, but I know it can be a bit distracting for 2D stuff. This was recorded through a fairly cheap RGB Dreamcast cable. At least it's better quality than my old footage of the 98 JP version, which I should really re-record given it seems to be the only footage of that version that people still point to when discussing it.

The full credits for the DLC are as follows, in PkR's own words:
"-Darksecond for figuring out SA1 DLC and rank data encryption and posting it on ASSEMbler
-Sappharad for providing C# code to decrypt SA1 DLCs and for cracking the integrity check
-Daguar for giving a hint on where to look for DLC item table
-Exant for making a lightweight “sitting Chao” model
-The graphics are based on Sonic Adventure (+DX) assets"
