FreeSCI 0.6.4 has been released. I did not have enough time to fix savegames on DC, so this release has no savegame support. There are also other issues such as random hangs that will need to be investigated (these kinds of issues may not be DC-specific). For SCI0 games FreeSCI 0.3.5 is still your b...

Thanks for the replies! I'll try and put up a Dreamcast binary of the next release (that will still be an unstable version). I expect the first stable "glutton" sometime later this year.

Hi all,

FreeSCI's "glutton" branch is expected to become the stable branch in the near future. I'm unsure whether continuing to maintain the DC port is worthwhile. Is anyone still using FreeSCI on DC?

Ok. Thanks. Also, i want to ask something. Now that i have this "new" sdl and kgl libraries, when i triy to compile and run the kos kgl samples, they do run, but doesn't should what they should anymore. The samples are not working anymore. Any ideas of what could it be? Hmm, maybe it's us...

I don't know any KGL versions that support GL lights, but I haven't looked at Chui's version. For a basic example of manual lighting, you could have a look at DreamChess 0.1.0 here . As we dropped the DC port in 0.2.0, we switched over to GL lights there. It's important that you use the DC math func...

I see! so this only affects shades of grey? If I've understood the problem correctly, it affects anything where you try to create a gradient that's too "slow" for the underlying texture format. In particular I'm pretty sure you'd see an identical banding effect if you did the same gradien...

If you're using ARGB4444, that only gives you 16 true shades of gray. So what you're seeing is quite normal (this especially goes for gradients). Basically what happens is that a whole range of colors (in 24 bit, or even 16 bit), ends up as a single color in ARGB4444, simply because ARGB4444 has onl...

MrSiggler and I have decided to stop development of the DC port of DreamChess. It takes a lot of effort to keep the DC port in line with the Windows and Linux versions, while only a very small percentage of our users are DC users. This means that there will be no further DC releases of DreamChess, u...

Does anyone know if there is a Linux CD/DVD burning app that can automatically span a large number of files over multiple CDs/DVDs?

Ok. I'm getting confused. How many opengls are for dreamcast? and which is the best? and how do i use it? When we were working on the DC port of DreamChess, we found bero GL to be the best, but that was well over a year ago. I haven't tried Chui's version. Anyway, I ran your example with the SDL an...

In DreamChess we use SDL from KOS, with bero's version of KGL. We also tried KGL-X (not the Chui version), but we had problems with it, mainly in terms of OpenGL compatibility. Also, the GL_NT primitives didn't work for me. In the end we added our own GL_NT primitive to bero GL in order to do reliab...

Hmm... The version I had didn't. It was off of one of those compilation CDs of old games though - many of the games on there were broken in some way. Wouldn't surprise me if they either used the worst version they could find, or somehow broke the VGA mode. When I tried the game just now, I noticed ...

The Amiga version is much, much better than the PC DOS version, which had CGA graphics, and PC speaker noise. It's probably old enough that it'd run on the PC emulator that I can't remember the name of right now. Maybe. The DOS version (from 1991), supported VGA graphics and Adlib music. I just ran...

I think maybe I figured out the problem. Is there a limit on the dreamcast/kos stack size? Once I made a few variables global, things weren't breaking for random things. I remember having a smiliar issue on SPARC last fall. The stack size for the main program has no fixed limit. Threads however are...

Nice to see you, Phantom, and thanks for the info. - Does that mean they will also merge FreeSCI with ScummVM ? At this point in time it's not very likely. It mostly has to do with some ScummVM legality issues. And ScummVM would never merge FreeSCI without consent (even though they don't need it, b...

For those who didn't know, Sarien has been merged with ScummVM. That means that the standalone Sarien is now obsolete.

But seriously how long did it take, I know I don't have near the patience it would take to finish all that.

I know it took me several weeks. Other than that, I can't really remember, it's been too long.

I made it to the Green Hill Zone, without cheating.

(See subject) Does anyone happen to have one of these lying around, that they would be willing to part with for a few pennies + shipping?

I'm having a hard time finding one, most harddisks on eBay are larger.

Thanks.

I really liked that game, in spite of the bugs... I enjoyed it more than platformers like Rayman 3 or Mario Sunshine.
