How shit they run on cdr on a Real dreamcast

Now look above see what things run like on a real cdr and machine..



working on this prolly ditch sdl all together and png

Code: Select all

mrneo240: Well you don't need all of libpng
[10:48 AM]mrneo240: Also it's a reference implementation
[10:48 AM]mrneo240: And it probably isn't built in a way it can easily be segmented by the linker so not surprising
[10:49 AM]mrneo240: Something like stb_image is more appropriate
[10:49 AM]mrneo240: Or even not using png since you can't even display png image data as is
[11:48 AM]kazade: Yeah my advice is to avoid png
[11:48 AM]kazade: It's ridiculously slow and memory consuming to load

Png is taking more space the whole of SDL ffs and is super slow and using double memory

[Ian Micheal]

Are good news? I will wait for an available version to test!

¿Son buenas noticias? ¡Esperaré una versión disponible para probarlo!

What you did on your logo and use wave file works not using ogg or bor music format.. does not slow apirl saying dreamcast only..

No idea what you did to the bin i released you use with eternal champions as it loads almost anything.. debug still my version of kos and release date..

Lowest memory start up off support gone png support gone {should never be using png here} uses double the memory and zlib to decode using 2 buffers 500kb file =almost 2mb in system memory ..

old

new Yeah down to bytes saved now lol.. ditching SDL next..

low memory of the above.. almost 4mb shaved off the old one
856kb bin db ..NO png support no ogg support.. gif.pcx,bmp only no api needed baked in in.. Bor music only

Warning no png support it will crash loading any png file.. every file has to be a gif no ogg music

db.rar

(426.82 KiB) Downloaded 89 times

bin = not scrambled so rename it 1st_read.bin to use for Dreamshell sd iso.. or place in old release..
Remember the game must have no png or ogg.. still vmu saving and rumble.. they take no memory there always there in kos..

Thank you, I will try this new engine reversion ... I will give you my opinion when I perform the tests with my new newly created script.

Gracias, probaré esta nueva reversión del motor ... Te daré mi opinión cuando realice las pruebas con mi nuevo script recién creado.

This only for some games like i said no ogg no png it will crash if there is.. When i ditch sdl for video it be smaller use again..
right now it has when you quit from inside a game full cache flush and reload.. SO if you have say og remix and battle any time you exit it will fully free and reload so no reboot is needed.. Problem as you have seen in the videos this is long time for a cdr user.. Not for gdemu or redream or sd card dreamshell serial port..

It's loading my 4 turtles games to included in TMNT collection on hardware .. Your testing will very ..

So for now there are 3 new variations of the last 7.1 dreambor:
7.1 lowmem (new compilation tool)
7.1 super lowmem (above + code optimizations) and
7.1 ultra lowmem (above + no png, no ogg support)

I will try the ultra low memory version with the rescue palooza game and my simple megaman x game; it will be a pain to convert all the png's to pcx but if it is necessary to gain speed and memory it will be done. (still at 16bits)

The cache reread every time you exit the game internally would be useful when used with the save to vmu option, because you could continue the game without restarting the console or exiting to the console menu°!!!!

i would use gif not pcx i have never tested as long as it's not png or ogg should have no problem..

Just tested gif all image in 16 bit pal mode and it works..

You cant get above 20fps using 16bit colour mode .. only 8bit 256colour mode is 60fps..
I dont quite know why you want to use 65.000 colours at once..
the vengence of kyo 8 bit pal you can have many 256 colour pals changle per level..

looks better above then AES neogeo or neogeo cd..
