DREAM BEATS OF RAGE 7.2 With VMU ICON RUMBLEPACK AND VMU SAVING

[Dakangel]

I remember that webm consume a lot of cpu processing and cause trouble on dreamcast, maybe Ian video formats are a better option, unless im wrong.

@Ian Openbor music is loaded on the fly no affecting ram like sound files or graphics.
On a side question, can you help me to improve the snes4all emulator? i pretend to update it but not have toolchain to compile it, if you can help me.... thanks in advance.

@Ripfire can you share in a zip, rar ,7zip file those thankfully preserved source trees for all to investigate?

[Ian Micheal]

Yes i meant, the sound's and sprites, I was trying to write a example, as you would have to do an assest's check on each new part of the game , and unload it by hand. I dont think 4111 has this command.. Also using the pc version same 4111. using debug, you can see it using more and more ram with each level loaded. Like i said that's how this engine work's reading the code. You need a flag to unload sprite's and sound's on each model.. Now i was told 4111 has this flag to unload after each level. I dont see any doc's on what that flag is. i cant find any one using it on bor mod's on pc version. Every mod i try on the pc version act's the same as the dc. it's not releasing any assest or ram loading each level. check it on pc debug logs..

Snes4all need's the sdl i asked for in the forum. then i could compile it.

I cant hard, force in the code to unload or flush ram the engine,check's and protect's file's . If i hard code it almost no game's work. File's are loaded in a virtual cache. Now i have got the dc version loading data/ not pak's from the cd. this maybe useful.

Check 4111 pc debug turned on , it acts the same as the dc version

Is because it was implemented recently on OpenBOR v3.0 Build 6412, take a look:

Added my first function to openbor. We already had loadmodel to load a cached model into memory but now I have added unload_model to remove a model from memory.

example usage: unload_model("model_name");

Be careful using these as you could end up using more memory if you are loading models more then once. From my tests this can not unload the first player model from memory.

In their forums, on engine releases are the links (im permabanned there so i cant add a direct link); they added a lot of functions throught the years and builds.

I cant find an emuforge clone repository ,i only found this who has a repository with 16 branches for sdl DreamcastSDK

I found this video codec, maybe can help in the future Dreamroq and the creator notes who did in 2011 Roq on dreamcast

Thank you for digging for all those. Roq lib i can compile but it never work's for me i get a black screen.. Log show's it's running and playing the file. It was using and older kos then i'm ..

hey man! thank you for the hard work.
With the version that you uploaded my Mod run in DC, not like version 37xx i was using and that in DC not boot.
You version run with more fps, in sprites and animated gif.
only one problem (reset) when press "back" in option menu--->video mode (i think)

Can you add optimization for mode 640 x 480 16 bit?

thanks again, man! you rocks!

Change's to cache list type's to use less memory . Also should be more stable

[Ian Micheal]

Hi , new beta 3

You must have cd === root data folder video.txt force's cache off use's less memory, many more game's now load
Engine is now hacked to load forced video mode's hardcoded in video.c that work with video.txt

cd/ openbor.bin , Ip.bin bor.pak /data/video.txt

Ian Micheal i'm look you use DMA_READ

Code: Select all

#define GDROM_READBUFFER_P2 ((char*)((((int)gdrom_readbuffer)|0xA000001F)+1))

it is fair for PIO, for DMA replace to

Code: Select all

#define GDROM_READBUFFER_P2 ((char*)(((((int)gdrom_readbuffer)|0x1F)+1)&0x0FFFFFFF))
