Yeah, there was a Microsoft Windows CE-based DirectX API for the Dreamcast along with Sega's GL-based SDK. If you take a look at the games made with both, you will see that the ones using DirectX looked far shittier, ran far shittier, and were simply PC ports. Any game that pushed the Dreamcast in ...

He states "As far as i know, i could be seriously wrong, please correct me if i am, most video hardware is targeted towards Microsoft's API which makes more sense in my head as the most desirable approach. Nah, this is actually wrong. The Gamecube, the Dreamcast, the PS2, the PS3, and the Wii ...

Falco, my brother and i were discussing the finer points of DirectX and he made the point that if you are developing libGyro for Dreamcast, PSP and PC, why not use Direct3D or DIrect2D for the PC rendering? I can't speak for you or the ES dev team but i think its a good point he made. He states &quo...

Doesn't look like they do. If that is the case, it would definitely make my day ;) According to some forum posts they consider even ASM optimization. I don't think they've missed the easy way. According to the Mario World 1-1 images they are rendering 3500+ polygons which seems excessive in my opin...

i wasnt actually asking for tips on how to actually perform tile culling but thankyou anyway lol i was just wondering how the ES dev team do it if at all. Doesn't look like they do.

Hi guys! This is more a question for the developers but if anyone knows, how do you guys go about handling off-screen rendering? I was skimming over the photos on the site when I came across the Mario World 1-1 recreation and noticed the polygon count was 3000+. Not that it would be a problem for to...
