The PVR has a special sorting mode for TR polygons. Normally you have to sort all transparent polygons and then draw them in sorted order from back to front. On the Dreamcast you can draw the transparent polygons in any order. You can turn this on/off in pvr_init autosort_disabled: http://gamedev.al...

Use the compile functions to turn this into a normal polygon header that you can send to the PVR

Yeah, "rb" and "r" are different on Windows, but not on Linux.. On Linux newlines are always symbolized by '\n'. On Windows they're "\r\n" (stupid historical reason). So on Linux "r" and "rb" behave the same, but on Windows "r" is text mode...

Yes it works for me like that. Things to try: 1. get_image_png.c:61 replace fopen(..., "r") with fopen(..., "rb") 2. readpng.c:36 replace fread with if(fread(sig, 1, 8, infile) != 8) { fprintf(stderr, "Cannot read PNG identifier.\n"); return 2; } printf("signature ...

And here's an example image that works for me.

The vqenc code is available in the utils folder of kos. Just add some printf statements to see where the code fails then type make and rerun vqenc. Don't be afraid of touching code

When I installed texture packer on Linux it was installed in /use/bin so it was in my PATH. I assume on Windows it's installed to c:/program files, so you will have to add that to your path or copy it to another location (I think it was just an exe without other files?). So you would have to call ex...

Seems like another messed up path :( This look like a bug that you should report to the msys2 team. The brute force method took you quite far. Only linking remains.. Try adding -lQt5Core at the very end of the g++ command. If it doesn't find the library you can s0ecify it with -L lib_dir before the ...

Is C:/repo a valid path? Looks suspicious to me. I think manually specifying your path should fix things.

I've never done this on Windows, so I can only guess.. What is the output of the following command? qmake -query You can use qmake -spec spec_here to specify the spec manually. You can also set the QMAKESPEC environment variable for this purpose: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-environment-reference.htm...

Depends on the command line options you pass in. It can rewrite links so that local files become the target.

I actually tried to disable rendering, to see if using store queues on a texture would improve things and rendering is not the bottleneck, especially at the low resolution of 320x240. Best case, i would only gain 1~3 FPS. I will look at this at some point tho. I assumed the renderer is the bottle n...

1. Yeah you'd have to switch to float. If you want to support both platforms and that other platform doesn't have floats you'll have to introduce some global typedef depending on the platform you're on. 2. Check the first bullet point http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=104104&...

Nice project! I had a quick look at the code. Some suggestions, if you want to speed things up 1. You can use the fast math routines of the SH4 (fsincos) instead of the sinus table to implement fast_sin and fast_cos. Your code also always computes both sine and cosine, so I suggest you add a call fa...

I think you're talking about hot loading, also called compile and edit etc. For example jak and daxter on ps2 had its own programming language which allowed reloading absolutely any code at runtime (including changed data structures it seems) http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/disassembling-jak This i...

Yeah, I think there was a problem with promoting the kickstarter, especially before it even started.
I think rethinking the marketing strategy should make a second attempt work out well.

You can use wget for example
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/dow ... -site-wget

The files should be created in your msys2 directory.the default recommend location would be /opt/toolchains/DC within there.
If you have trouble figuring things out you may want to try using the installer script at least for the first attempt.
I'll need more detailed information to help you.

Have you tried testing the return values of the maple functions? maple_device_t *cont; cont_state_t *state; cont = maple_enum_type(0, MAPLE_FUNC_CONTROLLER); while(1) { state = (cont_state_t *)maple_dev_status(cont); if(!state) { printf("Error reading controller\n"); break; } if(state->but...

Oops, I should've read more carefully. Do you think we can port the too-unixy code parts to windows? It seems like not all that much code depends on UNIX functionality which is unsupported in msys. Looks like it's just some utils, maybe even only genromfs? And there's also the default shell which d...
