Hello, we did tests for HLDM in December. I consider it as alpha playable on 16 mb RAM of Dreamcast with sounds, networking via BBA, sorry we tried modem, but it doesn't work. For CS, i finished converting almost every assets to use VQ textures, except models for T and CT. I have a demo running on emulator, but need to debug some crashes on real hw. Also we need to move sounds from main ram to sound ram and use AICA for playing them. This would free about 2 mb of Main RAM. In current state sounds for CS is not possible, because it sits at main ram and we are close to limit

I think there dc is too little memory for CS1.6, it is not possible on real hardware with 16 MB of memory

I have a demo for CS 1.6 and it runs on 16 MB, but CT and T models had to be replaced to hostage model, because each model of CT and T is about of 2 mb of RAM.
