Nice work!

Thank you

Also v0.3.1 is out now. Mostly bugfixes

v0.3 is out! Main feature is all the menus have now been implemented.

Ok -- I think it might be the CDI layout, possibly how you're generating the audio track or putting the CDI together after running your mkisofs command. It's definitely not the files themselves, since it works when I extract them from the CDI and make a new CDI with the Windows bootmake_cdi4dc prog...

Twinstick (DPAD1 is left stick. DPAD2 is right stick) 0 = DPAD1-Movement + X-to-rotate (Trigger) 1 = DPAD1-Movement + Y-to-rotate (Button) 2 = All-DPAD1 3 = DPAD2-Movement + A-to-rotate (Trigger) 4 = DPAD2-Movement + B-to-rotate (Button) 5 = All-DPAD2 This right here, underappreciated peripheral. :...

Really nice Protofall runs great on DEMUL having fun playing it's harder then I thought at first great work I have only made it to level 4 so far hehe really fun you have to think what you next move is

Thanks for playing

The PNG example (kos/examples/dreamcast/png/) has a function that can render text using the PVR/GPU (Hardware rendering). The bfont method uses the CPU (Software rendering). This is what ThePerfectK was referring to about bfont's method being unwise.

I've been working on a game for the Dream On 2019 competition, "Moving Day". Its not fully done yet, but its in a state where I'm happy to do an initial release. This game is a Dr Mario clone, but with a new skin and it adds a few extra features :grin: In this game you have a room instead of a bottl...

I recently got a GDEMU. I own 3 Dreamcasts: a single Model 1 and two Model 0's. I've read that a GDEMU will only work safely in a Model 1 due to voltage differences, so I'll install it in that one. However the laser in my Model 1 isn't completely dead yet whereas the laser in one of my Model 0's is ...

Twin Stick is "Twin Stick" Fishing rod is "Dreamcast Fishing Controller" I think your latest program has some kind of bug when displaying Thumbstick 2, as shaking the fishing controller around shows "Left Trigger act-" appended to Thumbstick 2's text display whenever thumbstick 2 shows up (Left Tri...

-snip- Can I get you to do one more test? I realised the maple devices have a name variable so devs can choose different behaviour based on different controllers. I modified the previous demo to display the product name. Can you post what exactly the Twin Stick is called (And I guess the Fishing Ro...

Alright, so the "pause" button is actually mapped to the "D" button. Start is Start. Right stick is dpad2 Right stick trigger is A Right stick button is B Left stick is dpad1 Left stick trigger is X Left stick button is Y Also, I wasn't sure how to burn your CDI and it didn't work for me, so I repa...

No, the Saturn sticks just appear to the system as a standard Saturn controller. The Dreamcast sticks appear to the dreamcast as a controller that has 2-pads and no analog stick. So I think pause might be mapped to something specific. I have twin sticks if you have something you want to test. That ...

Ah, I get the keyboard's Matrix now. Thanks Twin Stick: The Pause button sounds weird. Thanks for the info guys. If anyone here has a Dreamcast Twin Stick to test with or knows about the driver compatibility about this, that would be much appreciated since I want to add support for it in my next pro...

I've got two question about different input devices and how to interact with them. The first is the keyboard. I've found KOS' example and the doc page http://gamedev.allusion.net/docs/kos-current/keyboard_8h.html . I understand that each keyboard has a queue of up to 15 keys and it can only poll a ...

I came across this callback function when I started learning about the input. I remember BC saying its only really for rebooting/terminating a program early. I don't think its for going from in-game to title-screen like you do there, I didn't even think that kind of action was possible with the call...

Thank you! I thought that spritesheet example looked awesome but was discouraged by the glitching sprite at the bottom, and I don't really get what that text below means, how I position the sprites on screen or how the sprites are positioned in the spritesheet? and what is implemented in the tutori...

For cross-platform releases I'd recommend Simulant. Projects cross-compile on Dreamcast, Windows, Linux and later on it will support Mac, Andriod, iOS and PSP. It can do both 3D and 2D. Its Discord channel is here: https://discord.gg/KAp5VU

I strongly recommend not doing manual vram stuff like you're doing. What you were doing is called "Software Rendering" which is slow, the examples below use Hardware Rendering and are just easier to work with (Also Redream has no support for Software Rendering so thats why it didn't work for you). K...

I'll answer what I can: 2. Either 16-bit raw PCM, or 4-bit raw ADPCM (the Yamaha variant). 3. CDDA has a direct path from the GD-ROM block to the sound hardware. For everything else, including WAV files on the disc, you need to copy them to RAM and steam them to the sound firmware. Thanks for that ...
