Do none of the examples compile anymore? I'm using the latest 677 and whenever I try to compile to test the installation, I'm receiving this: $ make rm -f hello.elf romdisk.* kos-cc -c hello.c -o hello.o In file included from /usr/local/dc/sh-elf/lib/gcc/sh-elf/3.4.6/../../../../sh-elf/include/sys/r...

Unlikely, but has anyone figured out the secondary CRC used in Blue Stinger saves? For a game like D2, I can edit the save and the game will load it just fine, but for Blue Stinger, it has a secondary CRC at the end of its 1200 bytes of data that must be correct for it to be usable. I've tried using...

1) Just to be sure, what is meant by "partition offset" for the flashrom_delete function? Is that the starting address returned by flashrom_info, or is it the partition ID that's passed into flashrom_info? Edit: This site (http://mc.pp.se/dc/syscalls.html#fB8_2) says it's the starting addr...

The IP still needs to be in the same range as the other machines assigned IPs by your router's DHCP service. So, if your computer's IP is 192.168.0.10, then use something like 192.168.0.60. Or, just take your computers IP and add 50 to the last number

And yes, command console.

You have to manually add the MAC address shown when DC-LOAD-IP starts to your PC's address resolution table. To do this, you can either add this to a batch file or manually type it into the command console: ARP -s 0.0.0.0 00-00-00-00-00-00 Replace "0.0.0.0" with the IP address you want you...

Yes, Christuserloeser is right. I used the Gimp as well, but the methods were different. Chilly Willy used the color selection tool which selects all pixels within a certain tolerance of the pixel color you selected. That's why the edges are rougher on that picture since the antialiasing as well as ...

No, it's an emblem, but I do see what you're saying. Actually, if he did want rough edges, Microsoft Paint can scale images and the paint brush could be used to paint over the background.

Chilly Willy wrote:Seriously, get GIMP. I did this in ten seconds.

The circular marquee is as quick, and will give a much more precise shape since the color selection tool's tolerance level is missing the subtle grays from the antialiasing / original compression.

For the twin sticks, I would go for something with a pasty consistency, a lot like vaseline, so it sticks in place and provides ample lubrication. For the Dreamcast, something like vaseline would gum it up, so I would go with a liquid oil of the petroleum distillate variety.

Yes, from what I've heard, this is something you need to take care of before any further use or else you risk breaking them. You'll have to open the unit up and apply some oil-based lubricant to the moving parts. That should take care of the squeak and prolong the life of your twin sticks. While you...

It's both. You can compile your code into a binary and then you can either use that to create a bootable CD or you can send it over to the Dreamcast with a coder's cable / BBA. Once you install the development environment, the installation disc doubles as a bootable disc in your Dreamcast that can r...

Thanks, Christuserloser. I don't know how I completely missed that it was a 29-page article. I was thinking the magazine is 29-pages and four of them were about the Dreamcast.

It's a shame the main focus is on homebrew. The ten anniversary is a milestone of what was in addition to what it is now. The Dreamcast was the first major pioneer in online console gaming and still has a lot of great games still online and ready to play. It's also another place where you'll find co...

I think that defeats the point of their project. They want to make it so you can boot up the game without having to use Code Breaker, etc. Also, it can be fairly pricey when buying it over seas. This way you don't have someone who lucks out and finds one cheap, plays it for an hour before they get b...

You could always compare the modified IP.BIN / 1ST_READ.BIN files to an unmodified file and note the differences, unless there's also something about the way the disc's tracks are written.
