Re: the Dreamcast Nightmare Emulator incident

Was that the only fake Dreamcast emulator at the time? I remember there being what was claimed as a working emulator way too early one. I don't even think we had a decent 32X emulator for the PC at the time, let alone Dreamcast! I was trying to think of the name of it recently. Nightmare doesn't so...

Re: Anyone play Civ?

An old post I know but I wanted to ask if you ever played Civ VI? I started with Civ V and really enjoy it. I tried to play Civ VI once but I just wasn't feeling it. It seemed too different from V imo. And Civ V with all the expansions has more than enough content. Civ V may be nearly 14 years old ...

Re: bitmaster's IDE/G2 interface aka DREAMCAST HARD DRIVE>!!!

I know that there's a harddrive mod that replaces the GDROM drive but I'd like to KEEP my gdrom. seeing as I've spent years taking care and repairing my 3 dreamcasts I rather like the disc based options on occasion. The G1 hard drive mod already can be configured with GD-ROM + HDD at the same time!...

Re: Rust projects on Dreamcast now a reality with rustc_codegen_gcc

First update! - Eliminated the need to add the .cargo/config file to add in the linker wrapper in your projects, this is now handled for you automatically by the cargo-dc script -- Removed these from the examples -- Removed this from the guide - Now added the ability to pass arguments to GCC directl...

Rust projects on Dreamcast now a reality with rustc_codegen_gcc

Whereas before I had created a cheeky Rust demo on Dreamcast with the limited gccrs, I have now managed to get rustc_codegen_gcc, the official Rust compiler's codegen backend leveraging GCC's libgccjit to generate code, working to target the Dreamcast. This means we can now use the real rustc compil...

Re: the Dreamcast Nightmare Emulator incident

nowadays i'm abit worried about disc rot on my dreamcast games so ripping them to do a CRC check on them would be nice. i've seen the ASUS/Lite-ON/Buffalo brand of USB disc drive and i bought the lite-on one around 2 years ago and tried ripping the DC disc, but it didn't work unfortunately. In this...

Re: the Dreamcast Nightmare Emulator incident

still it'd be nice if there's a generic usb disc drive out there that can read GD-roms. has anyone found anything yet? I don't see this ever happening. Drive firmwares are programmed in such a way that they won't read beyond the disc's Table of Contents. On a GD-ROM disc, the TOC only specifies the...

Re: the Dreamcast Nightmare Emulator incident

The Nightmare "emulator" was definitely way before 2003 -- it was either 2000 or very very early 2001. There's a news item from February 2001 in DCEmulation's news archive referencing it. There were emulators before Chankast as well, but Chankast was the first publicly released emulator th...

Re: Race condition in KOS timer_??_gettime*

When working on my benchmarks a couple months ago, I noticed every once in a while I'd get erratic jumps in the performance readings. I set the benchmark to discard readings that were out of expected range, which got the job done, but today I applied the solutions shared by TapamN and Quzar and it f...
