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?

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

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.

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...
