Can you make a dreamcast version?

Not sure how or even if it would run well.

Well if you get the fenix 0.93 from here http://www.dc-swat.ru/download/dc/fenix/Fenix_v0.93_build_4.files.7z; compile the game in fenix pack. map the controls using this.

Code Select Expand

//Buttons for the dreamcast
__A = _control; //if used as a key, it is _control
__B = _alt; //if used as a key, it is _alt
__X = _esc; //if used as a key, it is _esc
__Y = _space; //if used as a key, it is _space
__START = _enter; //if used as a key, it is _enter
(Tab and Backspace are supposedly L and R respectively but no one can get them to work. Most likely cause they dont program L/R in as R_TRIGGER or L_TRIGGER when they created it). Get a program called bootdreams. Have the 1st_read and ip.bin files in the root folder (of your game that is), put your game into that folder and name the main .dcb file "autorun.dcb", otherwise you will get a menu manager. Then use bootdreams to compile that folder into a .cdi then you can test it on an emulator and whatnot. .s3m is the only friendly music at this moment and i cannot get .wav files to play, most likely cause im not encoding them right.

Must be quite annoying having to burn a CD everytime you need to test a new version on the console. Think I'll pass.

Fenix don't have mode 7 16/32bpp, scale_resolution, and a big etc...

No? Just use the emulator. You have to put it all into a .cdi file so it can be burnt (or read by the emulator)

it has all that. im not sure about anything bennu created, but if fenix can do it, it will work on the dreamcast.

I know it, I made some tests in DC with fenix, 5 or 6 years ago...
You are outdated xDDD

[MisterN]

fenix 0.84 is old and buggy.... the new one is fenix 0.93.

[FreeYourMind]

is old and buggy too...

The BennuGD monolithic is the way to do a Dreamcast port, maybe you contact the autor from the fenix port to make a port of the monolithic version of Bennu.
If you can do that you came really important in the community and have my bless ;D

[BlackCurtain]

As long as Bennu doesn't get a port for Dreamcast I'm not downgrading to Fenix. It won't do my game any good porting it with a discontinued and buggy dev suite.

lol talking trash about the thing bennu is based off of

[FreeYourMind]

Old and buggiest is not synonim of trash...

[BlackCurtain]

I'm not trash talking Fenix, I just think it's safe to say that Bennu has grown apart from Fenix and become something much bigger. Anyway, back on topic.

Here's some more random screens from testing runs on the Pandora

Here's a quick gameplay trailer I whipped together. Enjoy!
