Developing for dreamcast.

Alright. Since the dreamcast was like one of the best consoles ever.

who thinks learning to develop for it would be better than developing for pc

answer in poll

I only have a Genesis. ):

Screw that, PC ftw.

My only problem with learning for dreamcast is that unless you want to keep burning Cd-rs to test each build, you have to send the compiled build through a cable. And I dont have a Tv in my room. Fuck.

Dreamcast is all...Dreamcast!
No.

As for the connection problem, why not just use an emulator?

Because NullDC and chankast suck. And You really can only test on a real dreamcast

Oh okay fair enough. Can't you use CD-RWs then?

What i mean with needing the real dreamcast is because You use the KOS disk and load it into memory then you can either
1.Use a Cd-r with the build on it
2.send the build using a Direct connection.

And no. Dreamcasts can only Read GD-ROMs and CD-R's Under Ideal curcumstances. What i mean is the CD-R has to have a Bootable .ELF file which is a Dreamcast executable

Lol that sucks >.<
/notes to never even consider Dreamcast dev.

Stick to PCs, you don't wanna go developing for something that's that old.

Isn't ELF a Unix format?

Yeah, But i think either
1. KOS(what loads homebrew ELFs) is Unix based
2.Dreamcast is unix based
