No, don't make it small. Make it big. Dummy files are there to move the files away from the edge of the disc. The edge of the disc is more brittle and prone to error, so it makes sense to fill it with unimportant information. This is the purpose of the dummy file. I think it may also speed access ti...

Although a G4 is a better processor than the G3 at the same clock frequency, a fast G3 is still better than a slow G4. Processor type alone doesn't indicate how good it is, and really there's no significant architectural features between a G3 and a G4 which make a difference for a unix-style OS vers...

Since Yvan has brought this back up to the top again, I'll throw my 2 cents in. I used to get kernel panics frequently with 10.0.x, but they got rid of most of them when they went to 10.1. Kernel panics occur only when there are serious bugs in code being run as part of the kernel or when there are ...

What's happening, clearly is that the wrong assembler is being called. You'll notice that the program generating the errors is /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as. So, the Darwin/PowerPC assembler is being called. This shouldn't happen because you shouldn't be assembling code for your computer (which has...

I tried it out with my friend Stefan tonight, and it worked fine for him too. Talking with him about it has lead to a couple of small changes in the guide, but nothing which suggests a solution to MaximumZero's problems, unfortunately. I've also made an HTML version (same content, but apparently the...

Well, give it a try, then. It's at http://www.asyserver.com/~kirwin/dc-modem-to-modem.txt and I'll be glad to give you any help that I can.

If you have some rough unix familiarity, use my guide that I posted the link to in my first post. If you have no unix familiarity, then you'll want to wait a couple of days for me to rework the guide if you want a full one, although you can also try following the instructions as well as you can and ...

Umm, what modem script? The dreamcast doesn't accept a modem script, I don't believe, and the Mac side you're doing manually instead of with a script. I don't think that the web browser should make a bit of difference. If you can explain to me when and in what circumstances the problem is occuring, ...

I have been thinking about this, and I have an idea about what might be going wrong. The Dreamcast and the Mac will not connect until you have told the Mac to answer. After step 1, do not wait for something to happen, do step 2 immediately. If my guess is wrong and you are doing step 2, when is the ...

After looking it over, I decided that your solution is the correct one. If the windows implementation sends along 0's for directory entries which it does not have, it makes sense that other implementations should do the same. I did bracket it in #ifdef __APPLE__ for portability, but I did the same f...

Just to put the information out there in case anyone else is trying to figure things out, the way to get it to build bfd is to pass the --enable-shared flag to configure. I should really have rtfm'ed a little earlier, but my reading on the internet lead me to think that bfd compiled automatically in...

I've been using the fink binary install, although you could try the other one if that one isn't working for you. I have OS X 10.2.8. I would be very surprised if your French system were the problem. I don't think that minicom taps into any of the internationalization stuff at all. I'd be quite surpr...

Compiling DC Load/DC Tool
I know that at least a couple of people on here have gotten DC Load and DC Tool to compile on OS X. When I try to do a make, I get an error becuase it can't find bfd.h. Anyone know what to do about this? I tried both downloading and building binutils for OS X and for elf-sh. Neither helped in the sl...
