MetalliC - Thank you for your efforts! Demul is a great emulator, I use it often for testing my own software. I have a request, is there any way you can add the ability to see the console text output of the program while its running? Like the way NullDC has a separate window for console text output,...

Corbin-
Check this post I made here, it details from start to finish how to install KOS on Win 7. I cant imagine it is any different on 8, or 10:

Thanks BlueCrab, that really what I have figured. Any idea on how "Environment Mapping" is supposed to be supported by the PVR hardware? Per-Vertex Reflections are expensive on the SH4 CPU, especially when compounding that on top of BSP Geometry, Model Geometry, Light Mapping, Shadow Mappi...

So, I am working on using Environment Mapping for Reflections using 3D Textures in my game engine. My code is based on the effect written by nVidia, accelerated using the DC's fast math functions: http://http.developer.nvidia.com/CgTutorial/cg_tutorial_chapter07.html This nVidia function uses a frag...

Thank you

Here is a clip of the current build, using the shadow algorithm in the last screen I posted with 2 players.
Shadows still need a bit of tweaking, but not bad for a first pass.

This is not yet using modifier volumes, but today I have implemented a sort of stencil-based shadows for models, and I am quite happy with the results!

Okay thank you for the feedback, I guess that is a bug that needs to be fixed in my OpenGL API!

I am curious to see what you are working on

Your welcome.

Here is the latest build, featuring 2 Player mode.

Thanks again for your feedback! Sorry, but I meant invert your rotations on DC compared to PC for testing orientation correctness. But yes, what you have said would also perform the same operation. The simpler way I would do it is float r = DEG2RAD * -angle; ... But before modifying GL I would test ...

Thanks BlueCrab, thats what I thought.

I think things get tricky with Z Clipping 3D Modifier Volumes. I still need to investigate more...

At 40 mbps it should be possible to stream loss-less un-compressed video, just a matter of finding the right resolution to fit that data rate. It would be interesting to see how much faster my video decoder routine could benefit from the increased input bandwidth. Problem is I do not have a DC-HDD f...

Hmm interesting.

My rotation matrix is generated using mat_rotate from KOS, it is possible there are some orientation differences.

Can you test reversing the sign such as glRotatef(-20, 0, 0, 1) and let me know the results?

Ahh, thanks that clears things up a bit. Just to be clear, I am looking at shadow.c. At first look I was thinking each polygon was a quad, and that the 4th vertex was derived from polygon triangulation, kind of like how the pvr sprites work. But now I see each polygon is actually a triangle, which i...

BlueCrab- Wow, cant believe this is a 2 year bump. Thank you again for adding the cheap_shadow example to KOS. I am considering again the idea of using modifier volumes for simple shadows on DC. My idea is to tessellate and cache a Cone as 2 Triangle Strips ( base and wall ) once, then when renderin...

Hey there man! Thanks for your interest. I released the source with the project, so you are free to do what you want with it! Just please give me proper credit where due. The /SD/ card is a bottleneck due to read speed of ~640kbps from my testing back then, it was much faster to stream from /CD/; II...

640x480 video decoding is very hard to manage on DC.
I thing ROQ is the closest we will get to that resolution, checkout DreamROQ by Multi-Media Mike...

Alright man, here is an older build using OpenGL DC Multi-Texture. This code is a stripped-down, render only build for multi-texture surfaces. Collision Detection code is not included, nor is the PVS system. That said, this should give you a good idea of how the basic 3D render pipeline works. SRC: ...

Sounds good BlueCrab!

By the weekend I should be able to help test things out.

@bbmario - Right now, I am still at work on my Q3 engine and it is currently closed-source. However, I can release an older build of my source that is render-only using OpenGL DC, if that is of interest. Some more progress on my engine, 2 players are now fully supported including animated model rend...

That is true, you can pretty much do anything you want in software; but keep in mind, MD5 models are designed for GPU's with hardware t&l, which the DC's PVR GPU does not have, so all transformations are done on the DC's SH4 CPU. You must make a decision between memory vs cpu consumption when co...
