Re: Race condition in KOS timer_??_gettime*

When working on my benchmarks a couple months ago, I noticed every once in a while I'd get erratic jumps in the performance readings. I set the benchmark to discard readings that were out of expected range, which got the job done, but today I applied the solutions shared by TapamN and Quzar and it f...

As mentioned in the September GCC Front-End For Rust report : Furthermore, a longstanding cross- compilation issue has been fixed, allowing some of our early gccrs users to continue using the compiler for Dreamcast/SH4 development. Now, it's easy to build the GCC for Rust compiler once more. If you'...

Redump2CDI utility

I made a utility that can convert from Redump Dreamcast multisession CD/MIL-CD image format to DiscJuggler format. This is for Redump CD images only, NOT GD-ROM images. The Redump format was created for superior archival purposes, but no software can burn them and very few can open them. This makes ...

Re: Where can I find gay sailors?

Are you stuck in 1986 for this quest or do you have access to modern technology? If the latter, then download the "Grindr" app and change your filter settings to "Sailor: Yes".

GCC 13.2.0 should be releasing on July 27, so I wanted to generate some more data on GCC performance. If you're reading this but haven't read my previous performance thread here , you might wanna do that. I'm using pvrmark again as a benchmark. Besides just messing around with 13.2.0, I've created K...
