Re: Developing a Sega Dreamcast AICA Sound Driver
Here's some updates on the software and hardware, pics I thought you guys would enjoy!
I now use ARM Developer Suite 1.2 aka Metrowerks Codewarrior for ARM and in the process in ordering debugging hardware for ARM boards.
I got ARM Developer Suite 1.2 missing disc 2 files from ARM Support, they were very helpful even when it was no longer supported.
I also use this stuff when I'm working on ARM based Electronics.

Re: Developing a Sega Dreamcast AICA Sound Driver
Here's my DSP IDE, I've been working on.
If we can make a DSP Assembler for Saturn or Dreamcast I can custom my DSP IDE code for these sound chips.
