CDI collection of Katana SDK demos to play on your Dreamcast

[willis]

Thank you for this Ian and Anthony! It is really great to have this, especially as an archive item and something to play around with from time to time.

I finally got around to using ginsu loader and adding all these sdk demos to one cdi.
Next I will try and add the other demos that are on the sdk's that were not part of this collection.
There is a limit to how many apps you can use with ginsu..so hopefully I can still add the last few demos to it?
Currently all 22 demos are working.
Once I finish the cdi, I will upload it.

Thanks to accel99 for creating bootable versions of these sdk demos for the dreamcast.
Thanks to anthony for uploading the sdk demos.
Thanks to ian for creating a youtube video to show the sdk demos.

so what i thought would be a quick project has now taken days lol.
i have added more sdk demo/samples to the cdi, and i will put a list together of the stuff that is still left to convert if some1 wants to.
basically there are more demos in katana sdk r9/r10 and win ce toolkit than what we have in this collection.
either way i am thankful accel99 converted them for us.

i also went through all of the bins from Loop Checker, Check-GD, & DC Checker.
(note: trying to run babel.bin brings up an insane debug screen and nothing else)
middleware conference disk has demos/samples on it but there is already a .cdi

does any1 have any info on katana sdk r12?
so far i have checked r2, 4.01, r9, r10, 10-1, r11b, & wince toolkit v1.0, & v2.1 for samples/demos.
lmk

the demos accel99 converted were KAMUI POWERVR DEMOS mainly from sdk r11b.
there are many demos that i would like to see converted that are not included in the 24 demo collection by accel99.

here are a few:

Firework:
Particle system similar to demo on Playstation II.

KMSEAL:
Seal swimming in circle going up and down. Showing mesh deformation (seal), good scrolling tranluncentcy texture (bottom) to simulate light cast from waters surface onto bottom. Nice use of different fog modes.

KMSPACE:
Model of satellite similar to KMFLIGHT in which you can change filtering , shading, texturing and highlighting.

DC_SHELL:
Neat example of simple (Unix like) Dreamcast shell.

K2Mask:
Rotating mask with high reflectivity on outside of mask reflecting specular highlighted balls as they float by. Can control rotation of mask and translation into/out of z.

K2Nautil:
Neat example of multiple shaded translucent spheres (similar to a Natilus shell)

K2Nefert:
Demonstrating spherical/cylindrical realtime mapping over a non-uniform surface. Allows you to change period of rotation.
