What size VMU do I need to get this going? When I complete the entries and try to save to a blank VMU I get errors - something about my VMU not having enough space. Thats great - especially when the friggin codebreaker doesnt support the keyboard. sigh. So how big must it be? And do I have to config...

I'm looking for good "trade" type magazines that discuss game development/programming. I dont know of any devoted solely to this topic. I understand that Dan Potter and a collective are publishing a DC Dev magazine called "Dream On". When is the first issue scheduled for release?...

scanf("%d",&answer); printf("\n"); if (answer = 'y') Should be scanf("%c",&answer); printf("\n"); if (answer == 'y') scanf parameter is for a character (%c), not an number (%d) , I don't know if its a C/C++ issue there or just my compiler doesn't like...

sorry for the crosspost. ill wait and see if a mod moves it; otherwise ill repost it later.

I tried the LED Mod, and I cant seem to get it working right. My soddering joints appear to be ok. I tested the LED with a multimeter while soddered to the board, and it lights fine, so its not blown out. I'm no EE, but i notice something weird when I placed the controller board back in - when I tou...

Im sure this question has been asked a bajillion times, but I plea for your patience for a n00b who is growing into a fervent DC lover... where was I 2 years ago... anyway... my question relates to the BBA. They go for too much money (if I were single this wouldnt be a problem, lets leave it at that...

i am a diehard PSO player (I play on the xbox).

I hate paying 8.95 a month. I could put that towards a webhost for my idle domain name.

That having been said - can anyone tell me how many people still play PSODC?

seeking help with this. Ive found conflicting information with this particular NIC. Its either got drivers already installed with the distro, or you need to build drivers that work with the orinoco or prism II chipset. i got this working about a year ago, but i cant remember what I did to get it goi...

You guys are great, thanks for the direction. Im going to shoot for the stars and see about the feasibility of a TimePilot homebrew. Ive seen it done in Java, so I'm sure I can do it for the DC

word of caution. 99.7 % of DC programming is done C not C++, I repeat : C :) So make sure you're reading the right books. cout << won't work; you'll have to use printf( ); for an easy time of it. Go to the link Ragnarok gave you earlier, and download those files. You'll have a headstart on the game...

You said build a cable. As in a coder's cable? If that's the case, then you can just buy one from http://www.lik-sang.com for $20. Unless, of course, you're an EE major and can get the parts cheap from Radio Shack :D bah - those parts are hard to find, and pricey. in 2 - 4 weeks, i should have my c...

outstanding. thanks ragnarok. I guess I have plans tonight (well, after I build my cable)

Let me be one of the first to say Welcome! Now onto your questions. 1) Unfortunately the CE libraries are only licensed to professional game developers/companies. Also the CE libraries are custom made for the DC. Therefore, we will not be getting a legal, distributable SDK, ever. 1b) The library we...

Good afternoon all! I wanted to say thanks to the hosts. I am a dedicated gamer from a long ways back. I just got a Dreamcast and a slew of games for next to nothing, and I really am getting a huge amount of joy out of it. Its taking time from my Xbox gaming, even! The concept of creating my own gam...
