Can somebody show me a good COMPLETE tutorial.
I just found this site today. I just got a Dreamcast the other day. I have a PS2. After visiting this site I believe that Dreamcast is the best console in the world. EMULATION? For Dreamcast? Awesome! I'm fourteen. I'm so confused. I keep looking at guides. I need something that isn't partial. A guide that'll take me through the whole process of burning something for the dreamcast and using/playing it. Will you please help?
Oh, and I'm curious. How do you make an app or something for dreamcast? C++? Assembly?

Check out my web site ( http://www.sesonsite.com/Ten-321/DCStuff/ ). There are some tutorials there. A few people have said that they are very helpful. Also, check out http://www.consolevision.com/members/fackue/ He has some pretty good tutorials there, too.
I am not really qualified to answer your question about programming. I will leave that up to someone like BlackAura or OneThirty8. You should check out the "Programming Discussion" forum, though, for a little info on that.
EDIT - The tutorials from my web site that I recommend are:
"How To Use Selfboot Inducer"
and
"How To Use CDRecord"
Those should get you through the whole process.

BlackAura is way more qualified than I, but this question is general enough that I can answer it. C/C++ are the most commonly used. The only other option Assembly, which you mentioned, but bear in mind that SH4 ASM is a different beast than X86 ASM.curt_grymala wrote:I am not really qualified to answer your question about programming.

Thank you. I downloaded DreamNES. I've never seen anything like that in my life. That is the greatest thing ever. Dreamcast development is my destiny! I do have some C++ experience but where do I start? Curt, you had great tutorials. I got done what I wanted. Thanx for answering my question OneThirty8. But where do, say, the creators of DreamSNES learn how to do this? What do you do with C++ to get it onto the dreamcast and start developing? God, I never respected my Dreamcast so much in my life! THE BEST CONSOLE EVER!

Some places to start looking for tools or info:
If you're on Linux, then Try BlackAura's build script. That should download everything for you, compile it, and clean up after itself.
If you're a Windows user, you've got to jump through a couple of small hoops, but in my experience this is more a matter of being 'time consuming' than 'difficult.' The thing is, the tools we use are designed for Unix-type systems, so we have to emulate one.
Of these, the most commonly used is Cygwin. If you choose this method, simply download their setup program and run it. Then, select a mirror from the list and download as much as you can of it. The whole thing is huge, but you'll want the base package, all of the 'devel' section, and whatever section wget is found in. Then, use BlackAura's build script.
Another option if you're a Windows user is MinGW. BlueCrab has the info on that.
Also, if you check the recent posts in our Programming Discussion forum, there are some people using Dev-C++ to develop for Dreamcast with varying degrees of success.

Re:

Re: Can somebody show me a good COMPLETE tutorial.
Quite an example of Peter Norvig's advice in action.
