Ive set up cygwin again now what do you people want

[Captain Skyhawk]

THANK YOU! This may be simple task for you but I was looking for this a long time and asked around if somebody could release a compiled version. Only WHurricane16 did have a small s3m player in his game Cat's and Dogs. But that one could only handle 10 songs. Well Reaper your creditbility has gone way up now for me.

I post a topic in the main forum with my findings.

[az_bont]

Isn't reaper2k the one evrybody took the piss out of because he said that DreamSNES would run faster if it took out MP3 support?

Anyway, good stuff - I'm off to find a load of S3Ms now.

[reaper2k2]

Well im working on a better version with ogg support and better file handling .. big problem im runing out of cds

i dont have a coders cable yet thats really slowing me down one error and ive made anther coaster just for one little wrong vaule

any ways ive compiled this version but it fails to play files ive made a error in buffer space in the new version going to remake it and hope it works this time this version should be a lot better if i get it working

if i could try it with a coders cable i have this working better by now....

im looking in to buy one any one got one cheap or free im in australia have never seen one for sale.......

well sorry no new version today got no more cds one worked then rebooted the other just would not work no worrys i rewrote a lot of it to try geting a multi player and to play biger files...... seems theres a memory limt or leak some were .... it starts playing the files ogg and s3m then stops alltogether cant really debbug it with this burn a cd change some code burn a cd routine .....

I got mine from lik-sang.com. I could sell you mine when my bba comes in but I live in the states and shipping would be insane.

Use DemoMenu instead of selfbooting it wil save you a lot of cds.

[reaper2k2]

Ive never used demomenu have to give it a go can you leave this disk open and add tracks?

the way im doing it is far to waste full i know cdrs are cheap but ,im use to being able to run the code fix it run it fix it rebuild in about 1 min on msvc

any ways im geting there

[BlueCrab]

Yes you can leave the disc open and just write the new stuff to it (and if your stuff is small enough you can do this about 40 times!). You can find a tutorial if you go to the DCemu homepage, and do a news search for demomenu.

[ZacMc]

can you leave this disk open and add tracks?

Yes
Go pick up a copy of it at http://www.consolevision.com/dreamcast/ ... omnu.shtml

[BlackAura]

I've been using DemoMenu to do development. I don't have a coder's cable yet, and I've gone through 4 and a half CDs of stuff. To be fair, most of that was data files (Disc 4 had 300MBs of Doom WAD files on it).

[reaper2k2]

hey thanks for the info


going to get some cds and use this way of doing dev till i get a coders cable

got a few things im working on i really love to port a sid file player

with sdl it should be not as hard but i cant get that working yet

thanks you people are why im bothing learning all this stuff

trying to give back for all the fun ive had "nxdoom" port has been great

hope i can be that good one day soon or later .....


yes dreamsnes people have there view on it i have mine if dreamsnes was a pc app i be 100% right i dont know dreamcast hardware so i was speaking from a pc point of view ..... mp3 player does use cpu cycles no doubt in my mind ... and it does have a standed 2 meg buffer it does not let go of even when it plays games .... ahhhhh lol thats why i got the piss taken out of me ........ if some one was wondering

cheers

Actually you would still be wrong. 2 megs not used for anything else wouldn't affect the emulator at all. If the app, rom, and mp3 can fit all inside 16mb comfortably, then holding it does not matter.
Second, a function that is not executing does not take up clock cycles. So, when the mp3 player isn't playing, it isn't using clock cycles.
It's the same on PC or DC.

Don't make me call crt0 in here

[reaper2k2]

lol toastmen


well lets say grandtheft auto 3 when the mp3 plays in it,....and plays while the game runs it does slow it down

but thats a pc game

like i said i did not know dc hardware or emulators that much at all

i was not conviced the mp3 player ever stoped playing even when the rom loaded was my point ......

any ways moving on lol
