Where do I Start for DC development?

[RandomDever]

And also where to start for Windows. Not DOS, Windows.

WTF, you can't develop for Dreamcast without DOS. Hell, even the PS3 uses DOS as its core operating system.

... ?
It doesn't matter what OS you would get started on as long as it all compiles for the same thing...

This link http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=96802 is tool to get started with, iirc.

I was asking how to start with windows by itself. Unrelated to DC.
Like how could I make a program that prints out a message like "Hello world" as a message box with an OK button and the nice Windows Vista GUI?

[MarauderIIC]

Okay. Any particular language? GUIs in C++ aren't the simplest thing. GUIs in Visual Basic or C# are pretty easy.

[RandomDever]

C++
I'm sorry but...Visual Basic Stinks for game dev

I'd Like this:

Not this:

I've got MVC++E and have compiled many many many DOS based programs. I don't see any reference to the Windows GUI in these n00b vids.

[JS Lemming]

I was just kidding in my previous post. It wasn't funny.

noob vids are for noobs so you should be content.

[MarauderIIC]

But you should start with the "not this" part, given your choice of language.

Or you can just get visualc++ and do new windows gui project, it makes a window for you...
