Yep, I think it was.
It was based off of the Ghoul engine which was basically Q2e with some code streamlining and support for hit-zone specific damage and effects.

Re: In My Eyes The Worst Sega Employee

Without Stoler, there would not have been a Dreamcast in the US. Sega of Japan decided to push the retardedly hard to program Saturn even though more advanced yet simple machines were on the market, which was bleeding them dry. They were losing hundreds of dollars on hardware that they didn't have s...

Re: Dreamplaces

DP is a resource hog, but he could be using a software culling technique, interfacing with the Kyro harware register set or some shit like that.

If it could interface with my Betamax2 machines thru SATA, I'd get it.

Re: Assuming this existed would be you buy it?

The CPU isn't necessarily the 'brains' of a computational device anymore. Both ATI and nVidia (with their R600 & G80 GPU's respectably) can do massive amounts of superscalar math on their GPU's, to the point where nVidia has released high performance machines utilizing G80's as pure floating poi...

Re: Cheating in Half-Life DC

I had spent quite a bit of my earlier Dreamcasting with the formerly stated unmentionable, and the differences between the PC and DC versions are negligible at best. If you know the console, you can do and see a lot of cool goodies locked away from prying eyes. For instance, I'll give you something ...

Dreamcast Serial Port Overclock?

Ok, I was searching for information about the Dreamcast's serial port, when I came across this website. http://f17.aaa.livedoor.jp/~takotako/ In there he had a lot of neat schematics and stuff, stuff in which I've posted it's content before. However, something different caught my eye this time. http...

Re: Assuming this existed would be you buy it?

*strikes himself* I was referring to the 68k arithmatic units, not cache (and it's actually 20-bit ALU's, not 22). I was reading on the 603e a few hours before so I had cache on the mind. The 68k actually supports off-die cache, but I don't think it was ever used outside of high end Amigas. Last I h...

Re: Anyone got a working Rev. 0 DC?

I have a Rev0 DC (dated August 1999), but I have no interest in getting rid of it. It has a second revision SH4 as well as 8ns memory for all chips.

I also have a Rev0 bring-up board with extensive precise modifications made to it.

Re: Official DC Overclocking thread

No, the ns is just the maximum rated speed. The front side bus of all Dreamcasts (minus a couple of prototypes which ran at an ungodly slow 66MHz) runs at 100MHz.

Re: Assuming this existed would be you buy it?

Seriously, the Super Nintendo had a 3 MHz 16-bit upgrade of an 8-bit CPU but the system successfully competed with the Genesis' powerful Motorola 68k (a 32bit CPU clocked at 8 MHz). Former NES developers had a decent amount of knowledge of the 6502, and the system's design with its focus on the mor...

Again, assuming this existed would you buy it? A Dreamcast with 2 500 Mhz SH-4s, 128MB System RAM, PVR with 250 Mhz GPU and 64MB of Video Memory, 16MB of Sound Memory. Basically a buffed up NAOMI2 board. I ask only because of people's acceptance of the Wii which is a buffed up GameCube. Now I'm not...

Re: Making a BBA?

Interesting. I saw a similar tactic employed by a certain homebrew PS1 cheat device some time back, except it used a modified IDE cable break to plug into the PS1 memory slot. However, for the same time/effort it is to desolde/modify one o' them connectors, you might as well just buy an old 33.6kbp/...

Re: Making a BBA?

Wayy too complicated. You have to take into consideration folks like me, who have short attention spans and shakey hands. Besides, the serial bus is more than fast enough. And if it isn't, we just sub in a new clock x-tal to boost the speed, which is STILL easier.
