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 ...

I've played around with sound on the DC in the past, but its still very foreign to me. I've got some questions about some areas I'm not familiar with. 1. I know the snd_sfx library can only take 16-bit uncompressed or 4-bit compressed sound effects, but I can't remember what the max length for those...

I've noticed a lot of people on Dreamcast servers asking how to make Savefiles with icons/eyecatchers and also display VMU LCD Icons and the code needed to load and use them. For a while now I've had a demo that does this using my own Crayon library (Currently private since its too young and changes...

With image type, the process is this: 1. Load the texture into memory (If its a png/jpeg it will generally load slightly faster than a dtex file since most dtex files aren't compressed) 2. If its not a native Dreamcast format, convert it to the native format (Takes some time, but only done once) 3. ...

I've never used jpeg source files, so I can't comment on that. However I personally recommend not using jpegs or pngs because the Dreamcast has to convert them to its native texture format at runtime, instead its better to use something like tvspelsfreak's texconv program to convert pngs into "dtex"...

As the first post says, write support isn't in there right now. Right now, you're getting a -1 return from fs_fat_mount() because you're trying to mount it read/write. As for the partition type, per Wikipedia, there's a lot of them that map to FAT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type . You...

Actually, I have a bit of time to test right now. I started working on a basic program that uses a FAT formatted SD card, but I can't get it to compile. I've updated my copy of KOS and recompiled and I get the error "/opt/toolchains/dc/sh-elf/lib/gcc/sh-elf/4.7.3/../../../../sh-elf/bin/ld: cannot fi...

Thanks for the new feature BlueCrab, much appriciated

I'll do some testing when I get time, but that probably won't be for a few weeks. I'll definitely be using this feature in my next project/s.

But wsl isn't graphical right, I use VcXsrv in windows to create an X server for WSFL to communicate through. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EAxzRfHWsAAA0jm?format=jpg&name=medium It's not the gui that's the problem, it's an unimplemented kernel function. I can launch and run redream. I just can't use...

I jumped through the hoops of creating a syscalls.bin and IP file hoping it would solve the issue of not being able to load an ELF/BIN, but now I'm just getting NullDC to freeze at the "SEGA" license screen after the swirl animation. I'm trying to load 2ndmix.elf (the KOS demo). I even tried creati...

@Dreamcast The creator responded to a query on the Discord channel today. https://discord.gg/f3V7UU

Note that there is a newer version of DC-LOAD/TOOL-IP in Sizious' fork (1.0.5) https://github.com/sizious/dcload-ip Also if you wish to use the "-c" option (Access files on your computer from the Dreamcast to load in/out assets), you need to use "sudo" to give the program permission, also make sure ...

Nice! There was something small I was planning on making anyways, so I'll submit that for this (Its not really original so it won't be up for prizes, but its going to be fun anyways)

Change the #include <sys/cdefs.h> in the biosfont.h file to instead say #include <kos/cdefs.h> and the issue should be fixed. I've pushed the fix to the git repository, so you could also just "git pull" it and re-compile KOS (just KOS -- not the whole toolchain, obviously). Sweet, thanks for the qu...

I releasing my own port/recreation of Minesweeper late last year thinking it was the first version for the DC, but you technically beat me to it 15 years ago

Nice work!

A year or more ago I made a simple demo to show palette usage and modification. Recently I decided to build this program on my current device and I get the following error a@LAPTOP-8SDROJHM:/mnt/c/Users/David Lenovo/Documents/code/Protofalls-KOS-Tests/KallistiOSTests/Palette$ make rm -f paletteTest....
