Hello,

i'm currently developing a game on dreamcast, called Alice.
i see that you make the vmu ring in your dreamsnes.

how do you do ?

I'll move this to the programing forum.. Someone there should know.

Good luck on Alice. The demo looked very promising

thanks, we're working hard to finish the 2nd demo
we want to release a demo containing gameplay and a complete level
wait & see

i posted this question in the dreamsnes forum, because dreamsnes is the only homebrew project in which the vmu rings. Does another project do it too ?

and anyone knows how to do it ?

I'm not sure if the DreamSNES team reads that forum.. You could try emailing Marcus or Per to ask how they did it.

Try asking on the Yahoo Group DCDev mailing list. Marcus and Dan Potter read that and one of them should know.

Did anyone ever find this out? I need this info too. I heard it was on Consolevision but you know what happened to that :-/

WillSams i asked in the dcdev, and marcus and peter answered me :

does libronin works with kos ?

I don't think they should work together, since they both serve the same purpose.

You would have to mod libronin and hack the bits you want over to kos. The worst part of any dreamcast game is the dam VMU beeping. Im glad its not in kos cant stand it i turn the dreamcast on with out a VMU to not put up with that stuiped beep beep.

Thanks, Patbier, I'll give it a look. I always delete/not read that DC dev list stuff.

You would not love it if you herd it every 10 mins at 3 AM Sounds like a cheap watch how can you love it. No tune just beep.

I hate it and have a vmu with no beep that i made.

lol

Me, I think it gives DC some personality. You have yours set as an alarm? That would mean that you replenish your batteries often...

I never usually have a VMU connected, so it's no big deal for me.

It only seems to do it for when the batteries are low or flat (in other words, all the time). I suppose I should really remove the batteries from mine again.
