I had no idea it was decompiled. Maybe a port is a good project for the DC Scene!

The sonic mania game isn't the problem here because @Ivan Guber had updated the Opensonic engine some months ago.

The problem is to develop an RSDKv5 interpreter for the dreamcast because that is the real "sdk" used to create the game itself.

Note that the Opensonic for dreamcast was made using the RSDKv1

I took a look at RSDKv55 and it's just like the previous ones : entirely software rendered. A dreamcast port would be very doable from what i saw but i think speed and memory consumption might be a problem...

A backport to SDL 1.2 could be easily done at least.

I updated allegro for kos for opensonic pretty much just recompile and its' faster.. the problem why i only release the update of allegro was opensonic engine uses too much ram..

It was good to see someone finaly use it years after i updated it ..

Same goes for SDL1.2 if your using the crap in kos ports with out dma flip then your not too smart ..2x faster blitting

Damn, so many open sourced\decompilation projects comming out near same time it boggles the mind. Maybe someday this gem can come over to the DC. I would love to play it on the system.

Do not forget that most DC devs do it as a hobby... It's not a 9 to 5 job.
It requires a lot of effort and passion to wrap your head around a new project/code base.
Let alone the difficulties when dealing with 16megs of ram and a 200mhz CPU in 2022 :P
