Saturday, January 31, 2004 Beats of Rage Posted by
Darksaviour69 @ 20:40
Posted over at the Consolevision
Beats of Rage was created by team Senile (that's us). However, the character sprites and some parts of the backgrounds are taken from 'the King of Fighters' games by SNK Playmore. Therefore special thanks go out to SNK Playmore and SEGA who unknowingly helped in creating this game.
The DOS, Dreamcast and Playstation 2 versions of Beats of Rage are fully completed, and can be downloaded from this site. The game is fully functional, includes music, and features six playable levels plus a bonus level.

Edit:
there has been a high demand for this game and some sites (like www.dreamcast-scene.com) have gone over there bandwith. In this topic in our forums i have listed mirrors for the game for download

DC-Tool GUI 0.1 released Posted by
Darksaviour69 @ 10:39
This was posted by fackue over at his Dreamcast Help site.
I have made a quick GUI for DC-Tool. This program will be usless you have a coders' cable or, if they work with this, a BBA. Here's a bit from the readme:
Since this is a first release, I tried to make it simple as possible. The current settings you're able to mess around with is the COM port (COM1 is default), and the upload speed (115200 is the default).
Hopefully I can make this thing a bit better once I get to know DC-Tool's commands some more. This is just a simple release designed simply upload the selected file without any DOS prompts.

Wednesday, January 28, 2004 Programmer shortage at EA Canada Posted by
TheGypsy @ 0:37
[I'm bumping this to the top again since EA is still actively searching for coders, and I therefore find this fairly important for many of our readers. Put a resume in there, people!]
It seems that despite producing some of gamedoms most beloved titles such as FIFA, SSX, James Bond 007 and Need For Speed, EA Canada just can’t find enough talented programmers, designers and technical specialists. EA Canada is located in Vancouver and doesn't usually have problems arranging work visas. Anyone fitting the bill and is interested in career progression, variety and attractive compensation all within driving distance to Whistler should click here for more info.

Friday, January 23, 2004 DreamIce and DreamFreeze released Posted by
Darksaviour69 @ 3:10
Over at CGgames Dev Dan Potter has post this:
After years and years of molding on my hard disk, I've finally taken the time to put together the various DreamIce-related pieces together into one archive. DreamFreeze is the DC-on-DC emulator I used to reverse a lot of early hardware support for KOS. This is mainly of historical purpose, unless for some reason you want to experiment with some SH4 assembly code in a nice controlled way or something. :) There's also a new program called DryIce included with it that runs SH4 code on a host PC with console interaction, designed for regression tests (hint, hint GCC :).~

Friday, January 9, 2004 Whack-a-Mole - Chip8 Emulator Posted by
Darksaviour69 @ 16:56
This was posted over at ConsoleVision:
Toastman has released a tech preview of his Chip8 emulator for the Dreamcast. Here's what he has to say:
It's the technology preview of Whack-a-Mole, the Chip8 emulator for the Sega Dreamcast by toastman.
So far it runs fullspeed at around 60Hz.
You can't turn off the debugging information yet.
It only comes with the one game PONG2.
All of the Chip8 opcodes are implemented, it should play any Chip8 game out there. A couple of opcodes more before I can run Super Chip8 games on it though.
A controller is used to control the emulation:
A: Pauses the emulator
X: Toggles 'step mode'
B: Steps the emulator one cycle when in step mode
Start: exits the emulator
A keyboard is used as the Chip8 keypad.
Download: ELF - For serial/BBA only
