 Consolevision update
 Posted by on Tuesday, October 18 2005
I just wanted to give everyone an update on what's going on with Consolevision lately since there hasn't been much going on since the last time we updated you, the reader.

As of right now, we are in the process of getting a CMS installed on the site. This will allow us to update the site a lot easier, and more efficiently.

As of late, MetaFox has been busy with his DreamON coding competition, the DreamCon convention, and a new Dreamcast magazine he has set to release sometime soon. I myself am waiting for the CMS, but am trying to get things done behind the scenes such as organizing.

Currently, we are low on staff. This is an unofficial announcement asking that if you're interested in becoming a news poster or would like to join any of the sister sites (PS2vision, DCvision, PCvision, XBoxvision, or Classicvision) to help keep them updated, send myself or MetaFox an e-mail (click on our post image) with what you're interested in and why.

 Sonic Robo Blast 2
 Posted by on Saturday, October 8 2005 Comments

Sonic Robo-Blast 2, a 3D Sonic fangame based on the DooM Legacy code base, has been ported to the Dreamcast. However, since this is a beta, please note there are bugs:

- Gamepad support is still very problematic. While not required, it is reccomended you use a Keyboard.

- With using SDL, the framerate isn't very good. Normally, SRB2 runs locked at a max of 30fps. Here, framerate depends on the size of the room, with an average of 10fps. (The coders mentioned they are going to abandon SDL for the Dreamcast port in the future, which should increase speed in future versions)

- It seems to crash after playing a few maps.

- There's no sound yet.

The Dreamcast beta binaries and elf can be downloaded here

 ljsdcdev news
 Posted by on Wednesday, October 5 2005 Comments

A bit of bad news comming from BlueCrab regarding future releases of the ljsdcdev engine:

...The upcoming release of ljsdcdev Engine 0.9.2 will be the final release of the engine as it is known today. Both of the main projects that run on it have seemingly outgrown the engine, and the constraints needed upon them. Basically, I've managed to make a version of ljsdcdev and DCRPG that refuse to run properly, if at all, on the Dreamcast. Something needed to be done about this. Therefor, there will be no further planned releases of the current ljsdcdev Engine after 0.9.2 and the current libcrabclaw after 0.9.5...

For more information, check out BlueCrab's homepage.

Thanks to DCEmu.co.uk for the heads up.

 PSPPhyton (02-10-2005) (PSP Application)
 Posted by on Sunday, October 2 2005
A port of Phyton (programming language) is in the works. It's a first version wiht bindings to the essential PSP APIs as well as part of the pspgu.

Those interested may download the binaries; they come in two flavors, one with a debug screen to output some text to, and one graphical. Just install it as a regular homebrew, and upon launch the interpreter will start the 'script.py' file in the same directory as EBOOT.PBP. When the user quits through the 'home' button, the script gets a KeyboardInterrupt.

     Memory Game v0.6 (PSP Lua Game)
     Posted by on Sunday, October 2 2005
    This is like the original Memory game you played when you were younger, except that the cards have images of PSP games on the flip side.

    This is a game formatted for Lowser, which is included in the latest Luaplayer. Simply drop the PSP Memory Game folder inside the Applications folder in Lowser. Alternatively, you can simply rename ‘index.lua’ to ‘script.lua’ and add the luaplayer v0.10 eboot there.

    thechuckster has released a new version of Stella DS. It's a port of the famous Atari 2600 emulator Stella to the Nintendo DS platform.
    Press START during a game to go back to the menu and play a new ROM.

    I replaced the dubious official Atari/Activision ROMs with a collection of homebrew ROMs in the NDS file. If you want different ROMs, compile the emulator with a new set in the arm9 data directory.
