FM BOOT LOADER OGG&CDDA MPEG1

All version after the boot loader are the same and are fullspeed
Fixed CDDA and MPEG working on hardware video is held in virtual file system allowing it to work so it's in memory it does not have to read from the cdr and play..

However, I would like to see in some future of this special version for DREAMCAST, features that I had in the previous version (v2.XXX) as vibration in the controls, save games and of course the turbo mode. Changing the subject, this time I can not help you, my DC is dead and I could not buy a cheap one, it will be for next ...
Realmente no le veo la funcionalidad de añadir CDDA a videos de MPG, aunque añadir la funcionalidad de video en la introduccion es algo interesante. Sin embargo, me gustaria ver en algun futuro de esta version especial para DREAMCAST ,funcionalidades que tenia en la version anterior (v2.XXX) como vibracion en los mandos, guardar partidas y por su puesto el modo turbo. Cambiando te tema, en esta ocacion no podre ayudarte, mi DC esta muerta y no he podido comprar una barata, sera para proxima...
CDDA allows the video to be highest bit rate having no load on the dreamcast cpu.. thats all it's doing.. Yes i agree about saving and turbo modes and vibration i want that back this is just a preview as im running behind not that well right now.. so i wanted to show some progress..

Yes there's errors in the scripts so the pc version crashes.. there's still some errors but i doubt anyone will play it as long as i did.. if you do and it crashes i can fix it..
I chose it because 1 it had errors 2 it's 150meg bor mod.. 3 i could put the music show intro.. Also to show with ogg with the fmv how much it slows the video down.. 4 to show if we use CDDA we can have no slowdown on framerate of said video..
And to get motivation to keep working on it

Those release are absolutly fantastic !! I play with dreamshell so I can't test the cdda version, but for sure I try the others. If there is no cdda, there is also the music ?

only if you hardware playing, for example, your RADQuake use software playing
and one moment, you can't read any data from CD when playing CDDA, if you read data CDDA stoped

Yes only works really on nulldc very much a concept why i have the ogg versions as well Im thinking you have to hold the whole video in ram that would limt this a lot.. ether version the game still works and boots openbor.. yes full sound and music in the game..
It's a pity that it might work if i read the video from sd card I was trying to invent a concept.. Nulldc shows if possible it would work.. Gdemu is still only emulating a gdrom drive but i was thinking it would work that worth trying..
FMV boot loader still works just use ogg version but it's going to slow the video playing still ok just not blazing fast.. I might move to pss formate or ps2 format but thats really hard for people to make there own video's why i did not chose it.. i have done testing it's not bad..
