The LED is write indicator and the resistor is needed because a LED has almost no internal resistance and will burn up without it. Should work fine without them, but I haven't tested.

0.5 is the latest one.

Some games (but not a lot) use it for the filesystem - There is a list somewhere. I'd like to see that list, because it would break Sega API-rules (not to talk about common sense) to do something with those blocks. Besides using them as normal if you have maked them as not in use of course, but all...

Great to see it supported. Good work.

*Picks one up on ebay*

DCLinux or NetBSD DC has all of the mentioned languages and a few other.

No.

I wonder if there's anywhere where those still exist

No need to wonder. There is no such product and nevere where. There are less than a handfull known HDD adapters build by homebrew people.

Feet of Fury. That I never really got around to play. Just booted it up once to see what Dan had accomplished.

Why do you want a region free BIOS? Starting the game with a region-swap CD is too much job?

Noone seems to have catched this: [dcdev] SoftVMS 1.9 released Marcus Comstedt <marcus@mc.pp.se> to dcdev Oct 3 (4 days ago) Well, not much activity here so I might just as well post a shameless plug... :-) SoftVMS 1.9 has been released!

I'm positive 0.9.4 had sound. I know DSNES 0.9.2 had sound, but I don't know about the initial release.

The first release had sound.

That's because the DreamSNES C4 C-core source was contributed back to Snes9X. It builds out of the box in the latest version of Snes9X.

libronin includes an IP stack,

DreamSNES doesn't care about the extension, so renaming won't do anything. You can call all your ROMs *.psx, that will work just as well.

It's "locale" as in localization of language, not "local" as in location. The zip is correct. Renaming it will mean that you only get English as alternative for the menus.

What version of DreamSNES?

Mail it to one of the authors.

You can test it by burning a new boot-CD and putting your language.txt in the locale directory.

DreamSNES supports the Dreamcast mouse.

There is a Gimp plugin written by Per Hedbor, but his homepage seems to be down at the moment. This is where Pike comes in though:

The speedup would be substansial, but unfortunately most games would stop running. You can not do a JIT or other code transformations on old computers/consoles since they use the actual instruction timing as an integral part of the programming technicue.

I've never seen anyone report this before acctually. The error means that the VMU is broken in some way that makes it unable to save to block number 199. It's not the usual "need 199 blocks to save". It's "block number 199 is screwed up".
