Chocolate Duke is what I hears tossed around as a good idea to port so sounds like you are on the right track!

Chocolate Duke Nukem 3D is the equivalent of Chocolate Doom.
A port that:
Remains as faithful as possible to the original source code.
Portable and compiling in one click on Windows, OS X and Linux.
Aimed at education, with lots of comments and documentation added in order to help programmers to understand and learn.
Lesa performance compared to what? Wince is directly mapped to dreamcast custom gpu features and its optimized using sh4 assembly for the tnl stuff. Not to mention a proper sound driver that makes use of aica. I wouldn't be surprised if it had more performance that kos + opengldc.
Well indeed but this is SDL basic layer running on wince so not using any of that.. Wince SDL port is very basic no where near the SDL port and update of SDL i have done SDL dreamhal ..
Wince sdl does not have a working sound driver .. framebuffer only

I see. I had assumed he ported sdl 1.2 fully to wince. So basically software rendering and sound. Well at the very least wince is easy to set up compared to the homebrew tools.

SDL1.2 port for wince is very basic it was never complete
Yeah nice to see Wince being used.. It's very optimized gpu and tnl layer but that's not being used here.. maybe could be with the basic port..
Totally stoked to see this being worked on.
A fully featured Hexen and Duke3D port were what I always hoped to see back in the early 2000s of DC dev. Glad the taboo of using official SDKs seems to be wearing off on some people. I look forward to seeing more done with this
AWESOME! Can't wait to kick as and chew bubble gum.... but I'm allllll outta gum
Food for thought, when you are happy with how the game is running and want more to work on if I recall correctly the PC version had serial link multiplayer options. Perhaps it's worth diving into to see how portable that's to the Dreamcast serial (VS/link) cable
Fantastic work dude!
Your progress is far ahead of my KOS port (all of my time has been going into Postal) so I'm going to ditch mine and instead wait excitedly for this one one to come out:D
