so you had to put bracket around the while statements for your code to work??

what version of GCC are you using?

...i've never had that problem before.

since when did the Genesis have backware compatibility with the Master System? and how come i've never seen a cartridge converter to play SMS games on the Genesis (if what i'm hearing is true)?

(sorry to be offtopic)

[correction] I am from China and my english is poor, so I may have some mistakes. I'm a fan of the Dreamcast and hope to know everyone very well. [/correction] First of all, welcome! Hope we can answer all your questions. *note: i'm not being a butthole, but sometimes it's good for people learning e...

now i guess MS will start having stricter testing measures for their software. hopefully this will make sure Longhorn doesn't have any stupid bugs or big "come on over here and hack me!" signs.

well it looked like an X-file alien then the outline made it look like Jesus.
you guys are strange.

true, but such a site would get more attention, significance, and usefulness from the Programming Forum I think. I mean the programmers would like to know if there's a new (fully compiled) devstation for the Dreamcast and GP32. don't you think?

looks like it belongs in Programming Discussion

could you write a little more of description of what it has.
version of KOS, GP SDK, what you need with it... stuff like that.

$20?
that's a little low for a NEW game isn't it?
$25 or $30 would seem more reasonable.
how are they gonna make a profit?
something doesn't sound right at all.....

Well I would like my DC2 to have dual SH-4 running at 400 Mhz apiece. with 64 to 128 MB of RAM. running a brand new spankin PVR graphics board that's 256-bit. .... and having controllers similar to PS1/2 (dual analog sticks AND triggers.... soooooo sweet). but yeah. it ain't happening. what would be...

That second link is a great one (miss Dragon Warrior). I guess the first site answers my long standing questions of why both processors could never really be used at the same time and parallel processing could only be used in a very limited capacity. Must have been an after thought and marketing pl...

if anyone wanted to know the specs of the Saturn offhand here's a link.

would be easier for homebrewn games to be in 32-bit depth seeing that SH-4 carry data in 32-bit chunks anyway and plus the game spends less time converting colors and such. or do the color depth the way SH-4 have nothing to do with each other?

Please Nintendo make yours backward compatible. I'd say with the next console they bring out, we may have a good shot at seeing backwards compatability, since Nintendo finally decided to make a CD-based console. actually i would hope they don't. as far as piracy is concerned they should keep their ...

hey BlackAura,

could you look on the DWORD vs. WORD thread and answer Rand's question about dcache and word size. thanks. i kinda curious to know the rest of it (it being the discussion)

unit32 is an unsigned int 32 bit... so wouldn't that be a DWORD. well by Intel standards. and yes i know it's a sh-4 but we're all using wintel terminology.

Mostly, the tip was learning how to use the cache and SQs. The DWORDs vs. WORDs came up with the mysterious (and yet unexplained) "dcache" function. And, yes, in certain cases, 16bit will be slower than 32bit on DC. Rand. well: Using the cachable area of memory, Writing all your data in w...

honestly the best way it seems now is to:

1) write the functions header in C and the body in SH-4 asm
2) when that works.... convert the functions headers to asm also.

that way the entire program is in 100% asm.

but anyway i hope Bluecrab and MetaFox are able to get over these hurdles

Got way too much on my plate right now, also I'm burned out at ripping sprites - I did a slew of them for the Anime-Video Game Smorgasbord BoR mod in the works.

how do YOU rip out sprites?

Ok that fixed it reading, what you wrote, in the other topics i searched thanks Black aura Some one should take all the info you write and make it a dev book for dreamcast. I buy it! :D I think the some one should be you. Really i buy a book that you write on programing and the dreamcast. I agree. ...
