you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how video technology works for these kinds of old systems which is why you're having trouble with your project. I don't want to spend too much time retreading a topic I cover much more detail in a large guide I've been working on for years now (that's right...

On top of the many SDL dreamcast ports being incomplete or otherwise flawed, they are the old SDL, based off of SDL 1.3 (or earlier). SDL had a clean break with the release of SDL2, SDL 1.3 and SDL2 are incompatible and different technologies. SDL2 has already become the stardard, nobody uses SDL 1....

locate gcc.exe by full path (i.e. c:\mingw64\bin\x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe or wherever it is) and include the full path in the make environment. The error is saying it can't find gcc.exe so presumably it's looking in the wrong location.

Anyone got a cdda demo? How does one burn the disc for cdda audio tracks?

Congrats on getting something drawn to the screen. That warning is just saying you're not actually using the flags you define. That command is a macro which returns a variable that can be passed to KOS to setup the environment. What you are doing is directly manipulating the framebuffer, without wor...

Your kos init and vid mode code need to go inside main they are calls to be executed. Also, your program doesn't loop, so it'll draw a pixel for one frame then end. Try this: #define PACK_PIXEL(r, g, b) ( ((r & 0xF8) << 8) | ((g & 0xFC) << 3) | (b >> 3) ) #include <kos.h> #include <stdio.h> int main...

Looks like you are well on your way, please keep the topic informed! Best of luck! One other thing to note, iirc the "hello" example uses the debug font to display "hello world" on the screen. This font resides in the bios, and redream will hang at a black screen if the bios isn't present when you c...

Thank you! Can redream play the .elf? redream launches but just to a welcome screen, in the DreamSDK manager under the emulator path I put the path to the .elf as argument, is that correct? If I want a cdi file, do I have to do it manually with discjuggler? No, Redream AFAIK cannot play elfs direct...

I don't use DreamSDK to develop with nor do I use code::blocks as my IDE so I might be wrong with the specifics here, but I can explain what that means regardless. Build targets describe a set of options your IDE uses when compiling and running your program. This includes environment variables, like...

I'll definitely hop on sometime today. I know this board is for PSO info, but considering the day, would it be possible to also organize a Quake 3 play? Playing Quake 3 is always awesome, double so on the Dreamcast!

A quick and dirty tutorial to guide people through adding a USB development port to their Sega Dreamcast: The Sega Dreamcast was one of the most forward thinking consoles ever. One of its best features is the least used: this serial port on the dreamcast is very important for modern dreamcast homebr...

Thanks so much for the input Siz! I never noticed that make command in DC-chain makefile! Doh!!

EDIT: Just tested it out on a recent install of KOS and worked perfectly, thanks so much!!

My docker images include it haydenkow/nu_dckos Im pretty sure thats how i got my copy too, or something similar, but im more interested in figuring out how to generate sh-elf-gdb myself, or pull from an official gdb source, i.e. not part of a larger package. Being on the whim of a docker image is a...

I already have a pre built binary for sh-elf-gdb so I don't really need the program for myself, I'm just more wondering whats the best way for someone who doesn't have the binary to get it? There doesn't appear to be any packages in the package managers for the distros I use for sh-elf-gdb and when ...

Tested this out, works great! Thought it wasn't working for a bit, but turns out I hadn't built the newest version yet. Thanks for the effort! I think I've discovered a bug, however. Going with what protofall was doing above, I tried to write a program that loaded a second binary off of the SD card ...

Thank you so much for working on this! I'll give it a look over in the morning.

It can't open a socket on your host. Try temporarily disabling your firewall in both windows and on your router (be careful!) and see if that helps. If it does, work backwards from there to add an exception to your firewall(s).

But wsl isn't graphical right, I use VcXsrv in windows to create an X server for WSFL to communicate through. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAxzRfHWsAAA0jm?format=jpg&name=medium It's not the gui that's the problem, it's an unimplemented kernel function. I can launch and run redream. I just can't use...

This is seriously perfect timing for me. Thanks so much for this!!

Hi Ian, I saw on assembler that you eventually tracked this down. Would you mind sharing it, as I find myself needing it as well.
