Re: Announcing libkosfat

Made an attempt at this 6 years ago. Got it working for the most part. Here is the archived repo: https://github.com/andressbarajas/libfatfs

Feel free to use anything from it.

Re: fopen fails to open files on CD sometimes

Solution from the discord:

Max files you can open from CD is 8
kos/kernel/arch/dreamcast/include/dc/fs_iso9660.h : #define MAX_ISO_FILES 8

Hey BlueCrab maybe we can bump up this value up to 16?

Re: [SOLVED] Cheap Shadows rendering issue

I see that nobody has discussed this and it is not included in the current KOS. BUMP

NOTE: I have not tested this and have no knowledge of modifier volumes.

I also noticed a lot of the tutorials have the following comment at the top when they don't have any GL stuff:

This uses Kazade's GLdc and some part of his NeHe example.

Re: Want a coder's cable (DC serial to DB9) ?

I think BlueCrab means that solder the board internally and not actually create a plug for the serial port. Man... I wish I could solder and know its ins and outs.

Re: Mac OSX dc serial not detecting

For some reason the output gets to "Console Enabled" when I try and change the baudrate. It's fine though.

This is what I ran in the terminal:

dc-tool -t /dev/cu.usbserial -b 115200 -e -x dcp.bin

Re: libfatfs - FAT16 & FAT32 for SD Cards

They are two different bugs. Your bug had to deal with me not taking into account the "higher" bits of the starting cluster for each file/folder. I first started out with getting my library to work with only FAT16 so I didn't have to worry or think about it. For example this is the struct ...

Okay I updated the library. Found the bug that was causing problems for you SWAT and fixed it. It had to do with not getting the right start cluster of the file/folder. I *also* had to take out the cluster list because when you open a large file(780 mb)... the cluster list takes up too much memory a...
