I want to join to say a big thank you for all the work indeed ! Concerning the funding - can't find back where I read the info/if the info is reliable, but I thought the SH was still quite a thing in Japan. If that's the case, you might want to consider selecting a solution that targets/is well-know...

Outdated.
This has recently been replaced by make.

This is the most recent tutorial: https://dreamcast.wiki/Getting_Started_ ... evelopment

You'll also find recent tutorials on how to setup your IDE:

Update: All the above info - and more has been moved into the Wiki:
https://dreamcast.wiki/Visual_Studio_Code

Still WIP, but that's where the updates will happen from now on

Small update on the configuration files for Visual Studio Code (as a new post, since I have trouble updating the original post) 1) Profiles (new since 2023) If you haven't already, create a "Profile" (File-Preferences-Profiles) called eg "Dreamcast" in VSCode, that will allow to ...

I've been playing with GitHub codespaces this week-end, didn't realize how easy it was nowadays to have a web-based development environment for Dreamcast... Just takes 3 clicks and a couple of minutes of wait-time the first time you launch it... For those who haven't tried yet, I've put my notes her...

Maybe try:

make clean
make

(1st command deletes intermediate objects normally)

When you launch a new terminal, you always need to execute the source... command first, otherwise it won't work

"Not built by default": probably better indeed if you want to avoid to always have to regression-test both solutions... But that means that libgl will only still work for x versions, until the changes to kos become too many to fix libgl. Positive is to let people focus on only 1 lib, and l...

Hello, I think there is a global feeling that GLdc became a good alternative for libGL... Is there anything I can do to help merge it into kos(-ports) ? Has there also been a general reflexion on how to integrate it - hard break (there are some breaking changes after all) or soft transition via co-e...

There's also this thread where I explain the steps I followed to install KOS, GLdc & ALdc with Visual Studio Code & with gdb on Ubuntu: https://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=105596 Unfortunately, some things have changed since then for GLdc/ALdc (move to Cmake, and ALdc2). O...

Did you check kos/examples/dreamcast/kgl/nehe/nehe16 ?

Of course !
The conversion to Windows should be quite easy.
You'll have to convert the .sh script to a batch file or smt similar, but besides that, nothing complicated - probably only some paths to be customized.

Thanks a lot for this !
I did a small test with the new ALdc, and it's a big improvement indeed !

update - zip file with the Visual Studio Code configuration files now also contains a c_cpp_properties.json file, which should make Intellisense work as long as your file has the correct includes

Long time since I compiled for Dreamcast, so it was time to rebuild a completely new environment... (Big thanks for all the updates to Kos / dcload-ip / GLdc / ALdc2 !) Here are the steps I followed to integrate gdb with Visual Studio Code & compile/debug for the Dreamcast. Disclaimers: - I'm us...

Fantastic news, big thanks for the info !
I suppose then a real Windows7 & 10 installation would work with MekugiAspi too.

Main post updated.

a pity...

Things I would try (if not done yet):
- use 2 terminators on the devkit
- disconnect the HDD from the devkit, and put the DA on SCSI id 0 (to try to see if it's a problem of multiple devices, or driver/command issues)

Was the DA recognized by Windows ?
(ie, do you see the DA in the device manager ?)

Thanks for the info ! Looking forward to the results with the USB2Xchange
Post updated.
Any specific reason to use a VM with XP on it ?
