It's time for the second annual DreamDisc #gamejam for the Sega Dreamcast! We have prebuilt frameworks and libs such as #raylib and #sdl for developers of any experience level. Top 10 entries get published to a physical DC disc release!

Interesting pixel art for an upcoming Dreamcast game... seems oddly familiar...

Jumping! I want the driving to feel smooth and arcadey like a Sega Rally. I was never a big fan of Wipeout's physics, but I love the graphics obviously :)

Hope you get the saturn version in there!

I've posted before about using my homemade Zero Tolerance link cable to connect two Sega Genesises for multiplayer, but for some reason I didn't think of linking my Nomad to a Genesis using the cable!
So I did that this weekend! This is such a cool idea and a fun for multiplayer!

That's fair. Probably great in the long term 🙏

In what just may be his most sacrilegious move yet... Esppiral brings us a scene from GOD OF WAR as rendered by the SEGA #DREAMCAST! 🥹

Here's an actual hardware capture of me cruising through Corneria in jnmartin's port of #StarFox64... ON MY SEGA #DREAMCAST!

We have another AAA-quality Nintendo 64-to-Sega Dreamcast jnmartin port on our hands here! Stay tuned for the upcoming release!

Lol, how does pirating help? 💀

black screen is done, coming to Dreamcast + Steam in a month, and I'd really love it if you wishlisted it 🖤✨

I do still run a fairly active and very inclusive PS2 discord server that has also somehow become a pretty thorough resource on hacking your hardware or configuring emulators thanks to a handful of very helpful experts and also me: discord.gg/qjA3kQtXK3

I seldom plug the stuff I make, but seeing as it's big anniversary for the PS2, I'll make an exception!
Here's a video on the PS2 that I made a while back.

All of my new followers who are confused hearing we have C23, C++23, and the bleeding-edge on the Sega #Dreamcast, here’s the FOSDEM 2024 talk in the GCC devroom about our quest to bring modern things to 1999 game console:

For everyone who is not yet privy to the fact that the Sega #Dreamcast is alive and well, thanks to a thriving homebrew community and continued GCC support, here is my talk from this year's #FOSDEM, featuring several high-profile DC ports!

#gamedev #retrogaming

If you ever wanna try to take the plunge and give DC homebrew a try, this is the ultimate "getting started" guide that everyone in the community uses: dreamcast.wiki/Getting_Star....

Then join the "Simulant" Discord server (link at the bottom of the KallistiOS GitHub repo), it's DCdev central.

Reproducing an old Sega trick with my fast math library for the #Dreamcast, which swizzles XYZW coordinates into WXYZ ordering to prevent a pipeline stall waiting for the W coordinate to get transformed, which we need first for perspective division.

#retrocomputing #graphics #gamedev #optimization

Just managed to shave 9 clock cycles off when initializing a 4x4 matrix to identity on the SH4 CPU found on the Sega #Dreamcast, compared to the implementation found within the KallistiOS indie SDK!

GAINZ!!!

It’s a tool being made by my good friend and team mate who led us on the GTA3/VC team for DC. He goes by skmp.

He took some of the core from his DC emulator and has been reverse engineering some of the disassembled official pipeline simulator tools from hitachi/renesas: sh4-sim.dreamcast.wiki

Time to right some more wrongs in the timeline of gaming history...

Today we have an actual hardware capture of Esppiral doing his thing and rendering a scene from #FinalFantasy X... ON A REAL SEGA #DREAMCAST!

#retrogaming #gamedev #retrocomputing

Writing hand-optimized implementations of the C standard library's <math.h> routines for the Sega #Dreamcast's SH4, because the implementations we get from Newlib are using slow bit arithmetic on a platform with a baller FPU... ain't nobody got time!

#gamedev #retrocomputing #cplusplus

I'm only happy to do what little I can to spread awareness of the amazing work you guys are doing for the whole #retro #gaming community

It's you guys' efforts that push the envelope & help make development more accessible and less intimidating for newcomers too, helping the scene bloom

Mad modder Esppiral has done it AGAIN by bringing the #Simpsons Hit and Run to the Sega #Dreamcast!

...okay, fine, you got me! This is Homer Simpson in a heavily modded Grand Theft Auto Vice City on the Sega Dreamcast! 😂

Soon... #dreamcast

Can we get a HELL YEAH for developer, Mephiles, who was just able to host a #Minecraft server on his Sega #Dreamcast (right) and connect to it successfully using a PC client (left)!?

"Mute Crimson" from @icedlizardgames.bsky.social, captured from my Sega #Dreamcast!

This is an action-packed, precision platformer running at a solid 60FPS, with extremely responsive controls and tight gameplay mechanics. Super polished and fun to play!

#gamedev #retrogaming #retrocomputing

Oh, this is just Esppiral loading and rendering a scene from the #PS2 title, "Dragon Quest 8," on a Sega #Dreamcast, no big deal...

...WAIT, WUT?! 🤯
