Do you have in mind allowing some sort of TCP/IP capabilities to the engine? ( MMORPG or something..)

It's a platform game engine, built with Chui's SDL and kos. And yes I've done a few tests and I can't use OGG or MP3 because it would lag to hell. I guess I'll try to use adpcm since kos can play it afaik, and cdda for bgms. For now I've coded the sound core toplay wav's for sounds and mods for bgm....

so it uses the 2MB from it?
i heard kos did not use the aica, that it was the sh4 taking care of everything.
Crap Of course it uses it, what i MEANT WAS the arm.

Hmmm thanks, but kos doesnt use the aica right?
I think it's time to update kos with stuff like vmu beep, aica compatibility and some fixes...

But the software allowing it to play on dc in the aica is from CRI....

Anyway.... any ideas, or any free lib to use adpcm?


EDIT: didnt some guy at dc france made an aica driver to play wav's and s3m?
What happened to it? AFAIK the source wasn't released...

Okey I will do it by CDDA on the bgms, seems better.
Anyway isnt the ADPCM the CRI format? I guess it's still licensed so there would be legal stuff in releasing the source code and such...
Any other options that uses AICA?

Thanks for answering quzar.
Hmm for all the sounds? the bgms?
Where can I get it?

NICE work dude!
Also you are making a game with that engine right?
More or less at what % of development is it?
Looking forward to try it out.

I'm developing a game and I'm now creating the sound part, I've seen a few times that mp3 or OGG take too much CPU for them to be a nice option to use. Also wav playing isnt cpu friendly as well. Any ideas?
Most of the sound files I have are wav.

Wow, sounds great indeed.
way to go man

That would require CPU implementation.
If we get some checkers algorityhm we'll doit for the next version.
Features added on next version will be BGM and skin select.

Of course it is safe, I'd say no app or game makes use of those extra 44 blocks.
I have all mine with the extra blocks ON and nothing bad has happened.
All the games recognise it

Thanks, so then there is no way to boot it on 60HZ uh?
And for the other 50HZ games?

I have a PAL DREAMCAST 3030, and there were a few games ( resident evil code veronica, and some more ... ) without tv Hz selector and I hate playing games at 50Hz, is there any program or loader to force some video mode on original games?

Great job man!
Welcome to the game porters club
It is actually fun, you could add some music and stuff for the next version.

mine is a pal 3030 model 1 Data+0x000 | 20 20 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | Data+0x010 | 53 45 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | SE Data+0x020 | 43 44 2d 52 4f 4d 20 44 52 49 56 45 20 20 20 20 | CD-ROM DRIVE Data+0x030 | 36 2e 34 33 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | 6.43 ...

Well, the game is full of pipes and stuff, emulating them all would be quite a little tedious...

I'll take a look at that but in case i have no success I'll just port GNUGO

As of now it's a simple console with a simple I/O, stuff can be added easily as it's highly customisable.
In this alpha state it's mostly meant for coders...

Dude, indiket is not the only coder in IBERDC....
also i was the one who created the team, and I make ports and stuff too...
and this one is mine...

There are other members like Guaripolo, puch666, melovampire, mani1985.

Dreamcast.es is going to create one to broadcast in special events and such, some of which will be in english, the rest will be in spanish.
