DreamZZT has been updated to 3.0.6.1. This fixes several minor gameplay-related bugs reported in 3.0.6. This build also enables sound on the Dreamcast. I'm out of CD-Rs, so the final build of this hasn't received as much testing as I normally do, so please let me know if the SBI is no good. Dreamcas...

The Build engine is Duke Nukem 3D, not Doom.

... not that that answers your question.

D'oh, yes it should be 4 not 5 parameters. I got a bit carried away with the zeros at the end :-P plx_mat3d_init(); plx_mat3d_mode(PLX_MAT_PROJECTION); plx_mat3d_identity(); plx_mat3d_perspective(45.0f, 640.0f / 480.0f, 0.1f, 100.0f); plx_mat3d_mode(PLX_MAT_MODELVIEW); Will set you up if you're usin...

fine, now I can't sleep. Here's an example of several sprites with a 'camera'. I skimmed through the Banner example included with KOS, so this should more closely match Tsunami's syntax: RefPtr<Banner> sprites[3]; //RefPtr is a template class that provides a 'smarter' pointer that tracks its usage. ...

If you want to implement a camera in Tsunami, you can create a layer object and add all your sprites onto that, then move the layer around opposite to the camera, as in the parallax example. I'll post an example of this tomorrow, I need to get some sleep now

It's essentially the same as doing it with OpenGL. Draw your sprites or polygons centered around 0, ex for 2D your quad gets draw from -1 to 1 on the X and -1 to 1 on the Y (-1, -1) (1, -1) (-1, 1) (1, 1) Call plx_mat_translate() and plx_mat_rotate() to position and rotate your sprite before drawing...

The flash partition that stores the DC's serial number is not writable, and I'm pretty sure that's what PSO used.

You don't need photoshop to scale images with Automator, it already includes a scale image action under "Preview". I use it a lot for doing thumbnails of screenshots for my website, just chuck them all in a directory, and have automator copy, rename, and scale 'em down.

SourceForge finally got around to support Subversion, so Dan decided it would be better to move the KOS repos onto there instead of his personal server.

The SVN repo has moved, it's now hosted on SourceForge. The new URLs are:

https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cadcdev/kos/
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cadcdev/kos-ports/

I'll edit my earlier reply to reflect the changes.

You can also generate your own txf fonts from ttf fonts using ttf2txf: http://celestia.teyssier.org/ttf2txf/index.html

Bitstream Vera looks pretty nice, it's what I used in DCSquares and TikiBlap.

Yes. Assuming you're using KGL, you can change the coordinte system as many times as you want before submitting the frame.

Once you get your compiler up and running, you can build KOS as normal. copy kos/doc/environ.sh.sample to environ.sh and modify it to match your configuration, then source it and run make in the kos and kos-ports directories. See http://gamedev.allusion.net/softprj/kos/setup.php for a better explana...

Check it out from Subversion. If you're using linux or mac, install the Subversion command line tools, and run: svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cadcdev/kos/ svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cadcdev/kos-ports/ Otherwise if you're on Windows, install TortoiseSVN , right click insi...

Nothing yet here either.

Yes, both the Japanese Broadband Adapter and the Japanese LAN Adapter are supported by dc-load-ip.
