Re: GLdc - Call for testers!

@kazade: Any chance we could get support to handle paletted textures?

For our games and the engine, it would really help us save VRAM.

Re: GLdc - Call for testers!

@kazade: Since EDGE is OpenGL heavy, and uses things like lighting and multi-texturing, I'll be sure to keep up to date and report any performance and/or other issues we might have. I plan on switching this library out today inside KOS at work, and tomorrow I should be completely free to integrate a...

Re: GLdc - Call for testers!

Late to the party, as usual :S I am _definitely_ interested in helping test and shape GLdc kazade! Right now we are using libGL (for Slave, Hypertension, and EDGE/DOOM/etc in general) and, well, while it definitely is a great GL library, it has room for improvements. It is nicer and closer to real G...

Re: Assertion "woken == 1" failed at sem.c:171 in `sem_signa

I've added the following asm code to sem.c in KOS to trap it (so we can get a stack trace): /* Signal a semaphore */ int sem_signal(semaphore_t *sm) { int old, woken, rv = 0; old = irq_disable(); if(sm->initialized != 1 && sm->initialized != 2) { errno = EINVAL; rv = -1; } /* Is there anyone...

Re: Assertion "woken == 1" failed at sem.c:171 in `sem_signa

Gotcha -- I did that so hopefully we can track it down. =) Like I said, it's random when it happens, so sometimes it's a LOT of playtesting, or very little. I'll definitely post my results for others when we can re-produce it (it always /eventually/ happens). ^_^ Thanks BlueCrab, Ill keep you posted...

Re: Assertion "woken == 1" failed at sem.c:171 in `sem_signa

Well, Chilly and I are still trying to get down to the core of the issue. Initially, we thought it might be our sound/music code, so we disabled it completely, and we are still having issues. Our port stripped out SDL a long time ago so we are just using KOS stuff. The only thing we can think of it ...

Assertion "woken == 1" failed at sem.c:171 in `sem_signal'

Hey guys, Anyone else get this error? I seem to get it randomly while testing one of our games, and I'm not sure what it's linked to. The only thing I can think of is that maybe it's a thread/ timer issue with one of the modules in the engine, but it doesn't give me much to go off of, even as I use ...

Starting the GDB server (#adhd problems lol)

Hey all, I'm trying to set up GDB so I can follow stack traces, but I have completely forgotten how to do this :S I have my engine set up to compile with -g so it can generate these. I'm using dc-tool IP GUI V2 to send the ELF to dcload-IP 1.0.5. While it normally works fine, trying to set the optio...

Installed to c:\MSYS2, using x64 of Windows 10 (but installed 32-bit MSYS2), and used the install script from within MinGW32.exe (mingw32_shell.cmd for some reason does not exist ...

KOS function to upscale in PVR?

Hi everyone,

I need to know what function should be called from KOS to enable VGA mode if detected. Right now my engine runs at 640x480, so I'll need a flag in my set resolution code to go up to 800x600...not sure if anything KOS-specific needs to be defined.

Hi all, I finally got my Dreamcast Coders Cable, so I'm starting to set up a debugging environment that doesn't involve burning a billion CDs (also, the serial console is pretty damn vital). I burned dcload 1.0.3 to a CDR, which loads on the Dreamcast: dcload 1.0.3 idle. . . My PC is communicating j...

DreamShell issues

Hi there again, After all of these years, I finally caved in and bought a SD card reader for my Dreamcast. Previously, every single build of everything I've ever compiled was burned tediously to disc. I was afraid of the reader going out so I got it all set up. Pretty neat! Trying to get used to it,...

Re: [FIXED] SDL not linking properly (kos-ports)

Don't beat yourself up, I super appreciate it!

Usually because I get really excited and my brain kind of explodes ;-)...
