Links for folks wanting to develop on Dreamcast

I love seeing two Dreamcast programmers being mentioned in the same breath as Karl Marx

Ahh, you've got rid. It should have been left for posterity imo

A Dreamcast browser for the Dreamshell!:) Would have been very cool to have:)

I'm seriously considering getting into DC development — my friends have been urging me to get into some kind of programming, and I heard the DC had a very forgiving architecture for developers, at least at the time. But when it comes to programming, I've been living under a rock. What baselines should I focus on first? What language should I learn? Etc.

And how feasible is testing in an emulator to preserve CDs? Am I right when I guess that, if it works in the less capable nullDC, it'll definitely work on a real console?

Not allways ive compiled ports that work on dreamcast emulators.. but dont work on a real dreamcast!! it will make you pull your hair out..

We've had a tonne of trouble while working on GLdc with emulators working fine then hardware being messed up. But still it's way faster to iterate on an emulator and then fix up / debug on hardware.

Unless you're profiling, you'll need hardware for that.

My try on DC Dev:

and a demo menu for a promo disc of our band Holo Vex:

All made using KOS Samples
I can compile

Demo is working on real hardware Holo vex menu working partially .

That is a cool demo with a nice beat!
