Its easier than I thought it would be... I spent more time getting a damn emulator to work than I did actually making a test program.

I'm going to do a nice youtube vid on setting up an emu and how to turn .elfs into cdi images to run on an emu or on the dreamcast :D here's a screenshot of what I've got


you can move the bottom square with the a,b,x,y buttons :D the other square just sits there, I may try and get input from a second controller for that one. But for now I need to learn about displaying images, some more input, and playing sound


look out ES I'm a catching up

I plan on making a top down shooter sometime so after I get some of the basics down I will probably try for that

Sweet, screenies!:DD

I've gotten dpad input, and abxy input in one of my test programs, as well. Somewhere, deep in my bookmarks, I have a Direct PVR version of NeeHee's texturing tutorial.

Nice job dude, and I plan on making a 2D version of Super Smash Bros when I know enough about DC dev; but you probably already know about that


EdiT:: Falco, does PVR need anything to regulate framerate?

Are you directly using the PVR's api, or are you using KGL/something else?

who me? directly pvr I do believe, no KGL involved

Edit: although I completely intend to atleast try KGL I'd imagine it isn't slow like SDL, and probably does a lot more than straight pvr

Of course it's slower than the direct PVR API, but it's NOWHERE NEAR as slow as SDL. SDL is only slow, because it is rendering in software. KGL is hardware accelerated.

right right. So it is completely possible to do anything you could do with KGL in pvr right? From the way things are drawn I would imagine so. Although I'm sure KGL makes it a lot easier....

Yessir. KGL implements a matrix stack, so it can handle the linear algebra for you. Real men don't need that, though.

Hell no, real men just need assembly

actually they only need punch cards. :D

Punch cards are for twelve year old girls

Your lighting system went from spheres, to awesome... to rectangles?? Perhaps you need to re-think your strategy.

Man, that's the source code bro. Notice that it's on one card because it's so optimized. XD

I am. XD

Lol you're the best 12 y/o female programmer I've ever met xD
