re: neo dc and other projects

[the panoptican]

Hi,

this is The Panoptican, main author of Neo DC. Just writing to note a few things:

-we have had MANY beta-tester applications for Neo DC. Most of them obviously haven't read the post on our site. We are only looking for ppl with those specifications. Regardless, a few individuals who haven't been notified yet, will be happy to know that they will be on our beta-testing team. So keep sending applications to me. We want a few more testers. If you want to know what I expect from you, goto our site.

-the other project, which I am stoked about, is our attempt to port Command & Conquer: Red Alert over to the Dreamcast. I love strategy games and this would be fantastic to make a reality. I feel very optimistic about the possibility of doing this. As with Neo DC, we are taking applications right now. We have already added a 3rd member to our dev group (Digital_tik); the next person could be you! If you wanna be on the bill, email me. I think a couple of good minds could really help us with this one...And what a great step in the dc dev community! The URL to our site:

Talk later,

Hi

I was wondering where you got the source code for Command and Conquer : Red Alert from?

Ive found the source to the first C&C but no RA.

Yea,

my group concerns about porting microsoft windows 98 to dreamcast! Source code was released, please read on ...

/* Source Code to Windows 98 -- Enjoy! */

}

/* printf("Welcome to Windows 3.11"); */
/* printf("Welcome to Windows 95"); */
printf("Welcome to Windows 98");
if (system_ok())
crash(to_dos_prompt)
else
system_memory = open("a:\swp0001.swp", O_CREATE);

while(something)
{
sleep(5);
get_user_input();
sleep(5);
act_on_user_input();
sleep(5);
}
create_general_protection_fault();
}

I think that sould be simple. Anyone wants to join my group?
