[reaper2k2]

Any small games i could have a go at trying to port im not promising any think im very new to porting ........

make sure the source does not have asm in it .......


thanks

[Adri_Magnon]

Hi,

How about a small program that will allow you to burn saves to a CD and then use the DC to upload the saves to a VMU? It wouldn't have to be very large or filled with flash, just something small and useable. I saw an example source in KOS.

Cygne to DC. Yeah. Generator to DC. VBA*if you can get the source code*. Those are my suggestions.

uh... anyone else wonder what that means?


i think he wants a port of visual boy advance... but didn't he just say "a small game"? cless, once again, think about what you are posting

Hehe opps I didnt read I just read what do you want. I have to source code to VBA anyways.

A chess game would be cool.. theres two open source chess games on this page..

[reaper2k2]

when i get cygwin working and kos built when i posted this it was building examples .. then it started playing up and throwing errors

ill get it working tho i never give up

i would like a chess game my self ive been over the wonderswan code for hours i know it pretty well but thats a pretty big project ....

when i get some think to run on the dc ill let every one know

back to compiler set up its been a few days now and about 20 hours downloading .. im geting some were with it its not throwing as many errors .....

right now im following the hanger eleven tut from start to finsh ill give a report soon....

cya! for now

[clessoulis]

Well good luck to setting it up and getting stuff to work.

[reaper2k2]

well finaly i got it to build kos only problem is the only version of kos my whole dc tool chain will build is version 1.3 i know thats a pretty old version.... but now at lest i can start some work on stuff

ive got all the kos examples that came with it compiled and tested

thanx clessoulis


ill try my best any ways........ im bloody happy at the moment the monster works

564 meg my cygwin at the moment ...... thats with sh4 arm tools kos etc and the whole cygwin download if any one wants it after im sure its 100% working if they have a ftp i could upload it it take days ... it compress to about 230 meg

Dude I think you should port Cygne and then i'll get you Wscamps sound source to add on to it. Your port mite be better then OswanDC. Competion is always the key to good work.

[Sanchez]

Cless, shut up about the wonderswan emu. Do you really think that if somebody is having problems setting up a toolchain that they need a wannabe coder hassling them constantly about too big of a project? Especially when the amount of support they'll get from said wannabe will go off at will?

Unless you're going to start actually doing something, meaning writing AND COMPILING your own code, I will mod further Wonderswan posts from you.

i know straight c c++ I know i have to learn what commands i have to change learn to do what i know in normal c in kos there's a few like scanf that do not work in kos so .....


but i compiled ghettoplay and it works on the dc so i know im starting from a working compiler tool chain now ...


its really up to me to learn kos now is there any C 2 kos command chart ??? first up im going to write a simple menu that does nothing .. im not up to porting any emulators yet im just starting at learning kos ...........functions ..

If you want something simple to make, make a simple tasker.
Thats reads all the files one a disk and display them in a list. Anyways that my idea. If you wanna work with it for awhile you can start making it handle the files. Like it it mp3 play it, if its text files open or if its a rar/zip open it up and show the files with in it.

[reaper2k2]

yeah after looking at lots of source code im going to do some think like what you just typed about ..... im downloading ever bit of dc source code i can find from every home brew and emulator

. going to try one after the other to see if they will compile

ive found lots of people's source code they put out to be broken...

its no diffrent in the pc world ether ... annoy but the same stuff


for eg the oswan the dc port has a sound driver in it with lots of broken functions it would not compile the way the source is .. im still geting one error paser token error before "*" if i try compile the dc port of it

i downloaded it from the site .... since im using 1.3 of kos it may be thats the problem.....

Yes you mite wanna get a higher brand new version to me.

[reaper2k2]

Yeah i upgraded kos to 1.17 and oswan dc port compiled with only a few warnings

IM going to test it tonight i left the sound driver in ..

any way ill report later


EDIT well i converted the elf to a bin and scrambled it for selfboot

but all it does is reboot the dreamcast if any one wants the elf i can uploaded it its nothing more then the source from tim's site compiled with kos version 1.17.......

i dont have a coders cable i need to get one but im stuck with buring cds to see if every think is working....

it compiled the source no problems and made the elf elf2bin

the elf starts out at 724kb after elf2bin its 208kb does not seem right.....

any ways cya! for now

[BlackAura]

The reason that the ELF file is so huge is that the ELF file contains all sorts of debugging information that the BIN file doesn't/can't contain. If you run it through sh4-elf-strip, the ELF will only be slightly larger than the BIN file. So that seems about right.

[reaper2k2]

well ive compiled a moded version of gettoplay s3m player i put together

it compiled and ran fine on the dc

so theres nothing wrong with my dc tool chain or kos version 1.17

cant work out why the source from his website compiles and then when tryed just reboots the dc.? any one else tryed to recompile tims source code yet ? the source has the sound drive still in it is the the cause ?

oswan dc port im talking about .......

any way its good to finaly have it set up right ......

[Captain Skyhawk]

well ive compiled a moded version of gettoplay s3m player i put together

you have to possibility to run the S3M player on the DC? Could you release it Reaper? I'm looking for that one for ages.

[reaper2k2]

its just a kos example

but if you want it ok

The files are ready to burn just unzip them in a dir and put your s3m files in the root .... then use dir2boot or your normal self boot program.

ive tryed to allocate more memory buffer in the file playing but it does not play files over a size i dont know what size but it does not play s3ms that are over 800k or 1 meg ......

it sounds ok and is dan's code only tweaked it here and there and it may be worst then his in the end .... it works most s3m songs not bad......

its built with kos.1.17 i thought every one had it the s3m player its a kos example.....


heres the url

http://au.internations.net/dcdevr2k2/dcdev2k2.html

if you need a nero image or cdi i could make one if you have any problems with it tho i dont know what songs you have or if its legal to include s3m files with it.....
